ATHENS — In addition to maintaining their undefeated seasons and building up a case for a berth in the College Football Playoff, the Georgia vs. Tennessee football game in Athens will have an additional thing on the line: a friendly wager between governors.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee agreed to a friendly wager on which state’s namesake university wins the game.
Kemp put up some Georgia Grown pecans, onions and some Georgia-made bourbon. Lee put up a package including ribs from Tennessee and some Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey.
