Caleb Williams Faces Humiliation in Notre Dame Hoodie After Bet Loss
Caleb Williams honors a lost bet with a Notre Dame hoodie
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams found himself in an awkward situation this week as he was compelled to wear a Notre Dame hoodie, a consequence of a bet he made with a teammate. The incident unfolded following a disappointing outcome for his alma mater, the University of Southern California (USC), which suffered a setback against their long-standing rivals.
While Williams led the Bears to a commendable 12-point victory over the struggling New Orleans Saints at Soldier Field, his mood was dampened the day prior. USC’s National Championship aspirations took a hit as they fell 34-24 to Notre Dame in a game that left Williams feeling less than triumphant.
The Bet and Its Consequences
The fallout from the game manifested in the Bears’ locker room, where an uncomfortable atmosphere prevailed. Williams, who had made a “gentlemen’s wager” with Scott Daly, the Bears’ long snapper and a proud Notre Dame alum, found himself on the losing end. As part of their friendly bet, the consequence for Williams was clear: he would have to don the apparel of his rival.
In a moment captured and shared on social media, Williams was photographed alongside Daly, visibly unimpressed as he sported the Notre Dame hoodie. The image quickly gained traction online, serving as a lighthearted reminder of the friendly rivalry between college football powerhouses.
A Rivalry Renewed
This isn’t the first time Williams has felt the sting of defeat at the hands of Notre Dame. As a former USC star, he is all too familiar with the fierce competition that defines the rivalry. With each passing season, the stakes remain high, and for players like Williams, the outcomes can carry personal significance beyond the scoreboard.
The Bears may have celebrated their recent victory, but for Williams, the weight of a lost bet and the reminder of his alma mater’s defeat lingered. As the season progresses, both he and USC will be looking to bounce back and regain their footing in their respective contests.
