Williams and Zinke make friendly wager on Alamo Bowl | 2015-12-22 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Republican | House | TX | Roger Williams | W000816 | williams.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. Congressmen Roger Williams (R Texas) and Ryan Zinke (R Mont.), former college athletes, today announced the terms of a friendly and delicious bet surrounding this years Alamo Bowl between the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs and the Oregon Ducks. Williams was an All-Southwest Conference center fielder at TCU, and Zinke was an All PAC-10 center with the Oregon Ducks. If TCU prevails, Zinke has agreed to treat Williams to a bison burger, a native fare of his home state of Montana. Should the Ducks win, Williams will deliver Texas-style BBQ to Zinke. My Horned-Frogs had an incredible season, and I have no doubt they will once again bring home a victory, and lets remember they also have the advantage playing in their home state, said Williams. The Ducks may put up a fight, but Im already looking forward to that bison burger. This years Alamo Bowl will be a crowd pleaser with big offenses colliding to put big points on the board. But too bad for TCU fans, Oregon is hot right now, finishing the season winning the past six games, said Zinke. Im confident my Ducks will take home the trophy, and Ill take home some delicious Austin, Texas-style BBQ. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
