Gov. Kevin Stitt bets barbecue on Sooners upset over Texas

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt challenged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to a barbecue bet ahead of the Red River Rivalry.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt is predicting a significant upset in the Red River Rivalry game between Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns. Stitt challenged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to a friendly wager as he believes the Sooners will deliver an impressive victory. Stitt expressed his excitement about the game, saying, "I'm so excited to go down to Red River Rivalry and watch an upset of OU knocking down Texas."

He proposed that if the Sooners win, Abbott should send some Texas barbecue to Oklahoma, and Stitt would reciprocate with barbecue from his state if Texas were to emerge victorious. This wager has been a tradition in recent years, with previous bets involving beer and barbecue. Despite Texas currently holding the No. 1 ranking, Stitt remains confident in the Sooners' ability to shock the world on Saturday.
