Notre Dame supporter and Diamondbacks player AJ Pollock bet Willie Bloomquist -- an ASU alum -- that the Fighting Irish would beat the Sun Devils. He won. Willie lost. And this is the result of that wager:

Okay, so time for some Bloomquist math. Apparently “camo and face paint” at the rifle range is the opposite of dressing like an angry leprechaun. Let’s extrapolate that out to some other college mascots:

The opposite of a Sun Devil: rosewater macarons at the day spa

The opposite of a Bearcat: petting a dog while crying

The opposite of a Gator: watching a drag race with David Duchovny

The opposite of a Gamecock: watching Real Genius on basic cable

The opposite of a Crimson Tide: laying perfectly still in the dark listening to Jewel’s first album

The opposite of a Blue Devil: watching a baby’s first laugh
