LOOK: Sam Howell loses bet, shows up in Clemson hoodie

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell played quarterback for the North Carolina Tar Heels for three seasons. Howell has made no secret of his love for UNC — and his hatred of Duke.

However, while Duke is North Carolina’s top rival, specifically on the hardwood, the Clemson Tigers represent the team the Tar Heels aspire to be on the football field.

Clemson has dominated the Tar Heels, winning 40 of their 59 matchups. The two ACC rivals played over the weekend, with the Tigers again coming out on top — their sixth straight victory over Carolina.

Unfortunately for Howell, the loss proved costly. Not monetarily, but Howell’s pride took a hit when he showed up for his weekly presser donning an Orange Clemson hoodie.

 

Howell, who lost a bet, presumably to rookie DE K.J. Henry, explained the pain of wearing those colors:

“Um, well, notice the fact that I have these colors on. A lot, a lot of pain,” Howell said. 

Henry took to X after the presser to express his approval.
