Gov. Scott Walker and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn raised the stakes Wednesday by making a friendly wager on Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.
The losing governor will have to serve the homeless in a food pantry in the winner's state while wearing the winning team's jersey and will have to fly the winning team's flag in his office on the Saturday before the Super Bowl.
""I look forward to hosting Governor Walker,"" Quinn said in a statement, ""I am sure Governor Walker will look great in blue and orange. Bear down, Chicago Bears.""
Walker is already soliciting donations for food that Quinn can serve to the needy. Companies have volunteered a selection of Wisconsin's best foods, including 10 cherry pies, 50 pounds of bratwursts and ""green and gold"" flavored frozen custard.
""I received a lot of great ideas on Twitter including having the Packer flag fly in Illinois,"" Walker said in a statement. ""I'm grateful that win or lose, those food producers have committed to donating food to the pantry at which the losing governor volunteers. I look forward to hosting Governor Quinn in Wisconsin after a 28-24 Packer victory.""
