Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Terri Sewell (AL-07) placed a wager on whose team would win in Saturday\u2019s game between the University of Washington Huskies and Alabama University Crimson Tide.\nDelBene is wagering salmon from the Puget Sound, while Sewell has offered up some Alabama barbeque.\n\u201cYea, Alabama is undoubtedly a solid football team with a prestigious history, but I have a feeling that things won\u2019t be all peachy for them on Saturday,\u201d DelBene said. \u201cThey 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.\u201d\n\u201cMy colleague Congresswoman DelBene must not have gotten the memo. Given Alabama\u2019s unparalleled success of 16 National Championships, the Crimson Tide is on a roll for back to back National Championship wins! The Washington Huskies simply will not be able to hold up under the Tide\u2019s superior defense,\u201d Sewell said. \u201cFootball and barbecue go hand-in-hand in the South. It is too bad that Congresswoman DelBene and her staff will miss out on the opportunity to savor great Alabama ribs when the Huskies lose in Atlanta on December 31st. Roll Tide Roll!\u201d\nThe Huskies will face the Tide in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 31. The game is at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta at noon Pacific.\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delbene.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/delbene-sewell-wager-uw-vs-bama-college-football-playoff"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.122333971783519, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
