Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> said Tuesday that he owes Indiana Gov. Mike Braun some key lime pie and stone crabs for losing a bet after Indiana’s 27-21 win<\/a> over Miami<\/a> earned the college football team the national championship.<\/p>\n

DeSantis said at a news conference on nursing education that he will be sending the key lime pie, as well as stone crabs from the famous Miami Beach<\/a> eatery, Joe’s Stone Crab, to the Indiana governor due to his losing wager on the Miami Hurricanes at the hands of the Indiana Hoosiers Monday night in Miami Gardens<\/a>, Florida.<\/p>\n

The Florida governor said he had been promised sugar cream pie, also known as Hoosier pie, and pork tenderloin from the Indiana governor if Miami had won.<\/p>\n

DeSantis joked that it might be quicker just to drop off the pie and stone crabs at Marco Island, a barrier island on Florida’s southwest coast which is popular with Midwestern vacationers and snowbirds this time of year.<\/p>\n

“You know, honestly, half of Indiana is in Marco Island this time of year,” DeSantis said. “Can I just bring this stuff to Marco Island? It would be a lot easier for us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that he owes Indiana Gov.
