Washington D.C. – Today, U.S. Reps. Nikema Williams (D-GA) and Buddy Carter (R-GA) made good on their friendly wager with Reps. Terri Sewell (D-AL) and Robert Aderholt (R-AL), treating the Alabama Congressmembers to lunch. On Saturday, the Alabama Crimson Tide won a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Geogia Bulldogs, ending Georgia’s winning streak and subsequently securing a coveted spot in the College Football Playoff.

“Congratulations to the Tide on their 30th SEC title!” said Rep. Sewell. “I want to thank our Georgia colleagues for being good sports and donning some Alabama apparel on the House steps. Congressman Aderholt and I can confirm; Victory really does taste better with a side of chicken!”

“After Saturday’s big win, let’s see if we can find any Michigan colleagues brave enough to bet against the Tide,” continued Sewell.

Stay tuned for another possible wager when the Crimson Tide takes on the Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff at the Rose Bowl on New Years Day.
