Rock's only chance

The object of the game was to toss wads of notebook paper into a wastepaper basket within an allotted time. In Rock's case, he had eleven seconds left on the clock and needed to throw in somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty wads to win.
He was in Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas. There was a sparse crowd, but Rock felt pressure and knew he had little chance. Nevertheless, he hoped things could work in his favor, particularly matters in his own hands. Moments earlier, he had explained to retired University of Arkansas sports information director Rick Schaeffer that his only chance was to wear nothing but a light synthetic short-sleeve T-shirt and a pair of short pants.
"You don't want your clothing to get in the way," Rock said.
