Redmond Congresswoman Delbene Bets Salmon On Peach Bowl
Suzan Delbene and a colleague from Alabama are wagering on the outcome of the Huskies-Crimson Tide game.
REDMOND, WA - U.S. Rep. Suzan Delbene, D-Redmond, has made a friendly bet with U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Tuscaloosa, on the outcome of Saturday's Peach Bowl.
The stakes: salmon and barbecue.
If the University of Washington Huskies win, Delbene gets barbecue ribs from the Dreamland BBQ Restuarant in Tuscaloosa. But if the Alabama Crimson Tide prevail, Delbene has to hand over some local salmon.

“Alabama is undoubtedly a solid football team with a prestigious history, but I have a feeling that things won’t be all peachy for them on Saturday,” DelBene said in a press release. “They have yet to see a passing attack as effective as the Huskies, with Jake Browning, John Ross and an offense more than capable of putting up some huge numbers. Sure, the odds makers might not think UW has a chance, but let me tell you, heaven help the Tide.”
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl kicks off Saturday at noon Pacific.
