Houston football coach Tom Herman promised his team that he would get a diamond grill in his mouth if the Cougars won the American Athletic Conference.

And guess what! In Herman’s first year as a head coach, Houston won the AAC and is heading to the Peach Bowl to play Florida State in Atlanta on Dec. 31. It’s been a great season to say the least. But bowl prep can’t truly begin until Herman gets his grill. And who better to help him get the best than Houston’s own Paul Wall, who needs to make some more music by the way.

Let’s go live to Houston …

Yeah, probably a real difficult decision. As long as Herman can open his mouth and everyone can see 20 karats, or the whole top diamond and the bottom row’s gold.

According to Fox Sports, the idea for this came up in February when Herman was walking with one of his new players, receiver Demarcus Ayers — who did this earlier in the season — before Herman was announced as the Cougars new football coach at the basketball arena. Ayers was wearing a grill and Herman asked him about it.

Ayers said it’s a style thing, a Texas thing, something lots of guys down South like to wear, adding that Herman would look good in one and should think about it. Herman laughed and said, “I’ll tell you what. If we win the league championship this year, I’ll get one.”

And then look what happened. Houston went 12-1, won its conference, is playing in a New Year’s Six bowl game, and Herman is getting a grill from Paul Wall. And probably a ton of recruiting interest.
