Sadder, wiser Clark: ‘Don’t gamble’

After losing a bet to a colleague in Syracuse, that Gonzaga would beat the Orangemen in the NCAA Tournament, SR columnist Doug Clark paid off his part, by standing in orange face paint in the middle of Gonzaga and yelling, “Syracuse Rules!”:

If looks could kill, I’d be buried like Bing. Not that I blame any of the Gonzaga University students who glared at me with contempt during my noon Monday invasion of their campus. I was, after all, the very definition of pouring sodium chloride into an open sore. Face painted bright orange – the color of Syracuse University – I stood next to the Bing Crosby statue in the middle of the GU grounds and ranted like an Old Testament prophet. “Syracuse rules!” “Go Orange!” “Are you with meeee???” Nobody was. In fact, no student would come close enough to be interviewed, even when I explained that I’d lost a bet. More here.

Question: Have you ever made a foolish bet?
