Correction: Reps. Tim Ryan (OH-D) and Peter DeFazio (OR-D) Place Friendly Bet on College Football National Championship

Press Release

Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) today placed a bet on the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship game. If the University of Oregon wins Ryan agreed to give DeFazio a gallon of Columbus, Ohio's famous Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and a gallon of Youngstown, Ohio's famous Handel's Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt; and, if The Ohio State University wins the game DeFazio agreed to give Ryan a bottle of Oregon wine. They will appear together before the National Championship Game on MSNBC's Ed Show Monday, January 12th during the 5:00 hour to discuss the wager.

"I am excited to see the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Oregon Ducks to decide the National Championship. Urban Meyer, the Ohio State coaching staff and players have proven they are in the top echelon of college football and I am confident on Monday the Buckeyes will bring their 8th National Championship title home to Columbus. I look forward to drinking a celebratory glass of Oregon wine Monday night," said Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-D).

"Ohio State has a great program, but as we just saw in the Rose Bowl, Oregon is at the very top of its game right now. This team is fast, well-coached and lead on the field by Heisman winner Marcus Mariota. I predict Monday night will be extra sweet as I celebrate Oregon's national title along with a bowl of Ohio ice cream," said Congressman Peter DeFazio (OR-D).
