That's exactly what I did since my quads reside underneath my shorts when riding. Actually I wear cut-off sweats over my bike shorts. What is the down side to getting your shorts wet?

And in saying that, I just realized I may have been solving a problem of my own creation (too many layers contributing to overheating?), although the cotton helped keep the cooling effect going instead of wicking all the water away.

I have noticed that in switching from all-cotton gear to proper cycling gear, I no longer get the annoying, soaking-wet feeling after I take a break, but it also feels a bit hotter during the actual ride.
