Cole Bets Chocolates on OU
All kinds of wagers are likely taking place on Thursday’s national championship game between the Sooners and the Gators — mostly involving cash and points.
Rep. Tom Cole, R-Moore, whose district includes OU, is betting chocolate.
Cole is putting up some Bedre chocolates made by the Chickasaw Nation, which is based in Cole’s district and counts Cole as a member, in his bet against Rep. Adam Putnam, a Florida Republican and graduate of the University of Florida.
Putnam will pay up in oranges if the Sooners prevail.
“The last time OU played a team in Florida for the national championship, it worked out pretty well for us,” Cole said, referencing the 2001 Orange Bowl victory over Florida State.
“The Sooners are going to have another fresh-picked win and I’m going to have a basket of oranges to enjoy because of it.”
Putnam countered, “I’m looking forward to tasting those delicious chocolates as I savor the Gators’ victory over the Sooners. It should be the perfect way to start 2009.”
