Bryan Mayor Bobby Gutierrez has issued a friendly wager to Austin Mayor Kirk Watson ahead of the Lone Star Showdown game between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin.
In a video released today, Mayor Gutierrez challenged Mayor Watson to a simple mayor-to-mayor bet. If Mayor Watson accepts the challenge, a win by the Aggies means he would wear a Texas A&M jersey at an upcoming Austin City Council meeting. If the Longhorns win, Mayor Gutierrez would wear burnt orange at a Bryan City Council meeting.
Mayor Gutierrez also congratulated the Texas A&M football team on its record-breaking season and shared his support as they prepare for the Lone Star Showdown.
