Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds placed a friendly wager prior to the LSU-Iowa NCAA women’s basketball national title game, and Reynolds has already settled up in impressive fashion.

At the time of the bet, Edwards said he was willing to place some Louisiana boudin on Kim Mulkey’s LSU squad in the championship contest. Reynolds responded by wagering some Iowa pork on the Hawkeyes.

Edwards came out on the right side of the bet after LSU won 102-85 in Dallas, giving the Tigers their first national title in either men’s or women’s basketball.

This week, Reynolds backed up her wager in a big way by shipping a dozen pork chops to Edwards and 1,250 pounds of pork to food banks in the state. The pork will be split up with 1,000 pounds going to Second Harvest Food Bank and 250 to The Greater Baton Rouge Area Food Bank, Edwards said during his monthly call-in show on Wednesday.
