Kay Ivey and Greg Abbott have a friendly wager on the game. If Texas wins, Ivey has to buy Abbott some Railhead Smokehouse barbecue and Lone Star beer. If Alabama wins, Abbot has to get Archibald and Woodrow’s barbecue and Tuscaloosa-crafted beer for Ivey.

Alabama and Texas have not played each other since the 2010 BCS National Championship Game. The Crimson Tide has not faced the Longhorns in Austin in 100 years. Everyone is excited about the game, and the governors have their requests in.
