Governors Scott, Bentley Wager On Florida State, Auburn Game

Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced that he has agreed to a friendly wager with Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley on the outcome of Monday’s Florida State Seminole and Auburn Tiger BCS National Championship Game. If Florida State wins, Bentley will send a gallon of Toomer’s Lemonade to Scott, and if Auburn wins, Governor Rick Scott will send a fresh Florida Key Lime Pie, from Kermit’s in Key West, to Montgomery.

“Florida is the nation’s premier state for football. Florida State has had a great undefeated season, and I look forward to an exciting game and some ice cold lemonade from Toomer’s. Go Noles,” said Scott.

“I am pleased to join my good friend Gov. Rick Scott in this friendly football wager,”  Bentley said. “I am looking forward to a great game between the Auburn Tigers and the Florida State Seminoles in the national championship. Both teams have worked hard all year and deserve to play for the national title. The crystal trophy has been in the State of Alabama for the last four years, and I expect it will remain in Alabama.  I hope to enjoy a slice of Gov. Scott’s key lime pie to celebrate Auburn’s national championship win.”
