NCAA March Madness: Gov. Walker Makes Bet With Florida Gov. Scott On Badgers vs. Gators Game

MILWAUKEE, WI — Cheese curds, Gummi Bears and key lime pie are all on the line for Friday night's Wisconsin Badgers vs. Florida Gators Sweet Sixteen match-up.

To make the 8-seed-vs.-4-seed match-up even more interesting, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Florida Gov. Rick Scott have made a friendly wager on the game. Walker is betting Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery Cheese Curds and Haribo Gold-Bear Gummi Bears that the 8-seeded Badgers will beat the 4-seeded Florida Gators in tonight's East Regional at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is wagering a Kermit's Key West Lime Pie if the Gators win.

Walker says he is looking forward to enjoying some of that Key Lime Pie and has dubbed Friday as Badger Red Day throughout Wisconsin.

The Badgers/Gators will tip off at 9 p.m. on TBS and can also be viewed via Live Stream. Visit this link for other Sweet 16 tip-off times, TV and live stream links.
