Vince Young must wear Cal shirt on TV if Bears beat Texas
Former Texas quarterback Vince Young may be wearing a Cal shirt on the Longhorn Network in September.
Young has made a bet with a Texas high school football coach and if Cal beats Texas on September 19 Young will wear a Cal shirt on air. Young started appearing on LHN’s “Texas GameDay” in 2014.
How did the bet happen? Scott Nady used to play football at Cal and is now the coach at Dallas’ Parish Episcopal High School. He and Young became friends years ago and the bet was hatched while on an offseason trip to Mexico.

They even shot a video to show former Texas coach Mack Brown, who was Texas’ coach when Young led the Longhorns to a victory over USC in the Rose Bowl following the 2005 season.

“Vince and I shot this video for Mack a few weeks ago in Mexico,” Nady said. “All three of us are friends and I played at Cal many moons ago. Just friendly silliness between friends.”
Nady and Young were introduced several years ago, and, Nady says “we hit it off.”
“We are very like-minded,” Nady continued, “which I suppose in some regards is an insult to him.”
If Texas wins and Young wins the bet, Nady has to wear a Texas shirt on TV with Young.
Nady even has the Cal shirt with Young’s name and number on it already made up.
However, the odds are against Nady. While Cal should challenge for a bowl game in 2015, the game is at Texas. Unless Texas’ quarterback situation is an abomination early in the season, it’ll be a surprise if the Golden Bears win.
