Gov. Riley & Crist Bet On SEC Championship

Alabama Governor Bob Riley and Florida Governor Charlie Crist have made a friendly wager on Saturday's SEC Championship.

If Alabama wins, Governor Crist will send a box of Florida oranges to Montgomery. If the Gators win the game, Governor Riley will ship a rack of ribs from Dreamland BBQ to Tallahassee.

“I’m looking forward to Alabama’s 22nd SEC football championship – and to those Florida oranges from my friend Governor Crist,” Governor Riley said. “These are two great universities, two outstanding footballs teams and two incredible head coaches. It is going to be amazing to watch these teams compete this year. Roll tide!”

“I am proud of how far UF Coach Urban Meyer and his team have come through a season of hard-fought, well-deserved victories,” said Governor Crist. “I join Gator fans across the Sunshine State in rooting for them, and I am honored that Governor Riley has agreed to this friendly wager. Go Gators!”

Alabama and Florida kick off Saturday at 3:00 p.m. on WKRG News 5.
