Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has honored a wager with Indiana Governor Mike Braun by sending key lime pie and stone crabs after the Miami Hurricanes lost to the Indiana Hoosiers in the national championship game. The bet, made in the spirit of friendly competition, highlights the governors’ playful rivalry and their states’ iconic foods.
DeSantis announced at a news conference on nursing education that he would be sending the key lime pie and stone crabs from the famous Miami Beach eatery, Joe’s Stone Crab, to the Indiana governor. The wager was made ahead of the national championship game, with DeSantis betting on the Miami Hurricanes to win.
The Indiana Hoosiers secured a 27-21 victory over the Miami Hurricanes in the national championship game, held in Miami Gardens, Florida. The win marked a historic moment for the Indiana program, which had not won a national championship in decades.
DeSantis joked about the logistics of delivering the wagered items, suggesting that it might be easier to drop off the pie and stone crabs at Marco Island, a popular destination for Midwestern vacationers and snowbirds. “You know, honestly, half of Indiana is in Marco Island this time of year,” DeSantis said. “Can I just bring this stuff to Marco Island? It would be a lot easier for us.”
The wager also included promises from Braun to send sugar cream pie, also known as Hoosier pie, and pork tenderloin to DeSantis if the Miami Hurricanes had won. However, with the Hurricanes’ loss, DeSantis is the one fulfilling his end of the bet.
This friendly bet between the governors adds a lighthearted touch to the competitive spirit of college football. It also showcases the unique culinary traditions of both states, with Florida’s key lime pie and stone crabs and Indiana’s sugar cream pie and pork tenderloin.
For fans of both teams, the bet serves as a reminder of the camaraderie and sportsmanship that can exist even in the midst of intense competition. It also highlights the governors’ willingness to engage in playful banter, adding a personal touch to the political landscape.
