Having faith in Tom Brady and the New England Patriots helped a University of Missouri student get a date with a tennis star.
During the Super Bowl on Sunday, tennis player Genie Bouchard tweeted she knew the Falcons would win.
The Chicago Tribune reports John Goehrke, a 20-year-old University of Missouri junior, tweeted at Bouchard asking for a date if the Patriots won.
@geniebouchard if patriots win we go on a date?

Bouchard tweeted back, “Sure.”
"I saw the tweet and I'm like, I wasn't assuming the game was over because I knew how good the Patriots were and how good Tom Brady was, but I was like, I don't think this is over," Goehrke told the Tribune.
Then, the Patriots started making a comeback. Goehrke told the Tribune he couldn’t believe the Patriots were coming back or that the date with Bouchard could actually happen.
@geniebouchard Chicago. Go to school in Missouri. We can go on a date where ever you want! ?

After the Patriots won, Bouchard said she’d learned a lesson.
Lesson learned. Never bet against Tom Brady ?

On Monday, she posted how she was shocked but she’ll make good on her promise.
