Mr. TUBERVILLE. Mr. President, I would like to say I look forward to Texas and South Carolina running for No. 2 to be the best barbecue in the country, with Alabama being a clear No. 1.

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Will the Senator yield?

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TUBERVILLE. I will yield.

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. It sounded like you were suggesting that there was a place on the planet that has better barbecue than South Carolina. I know my ears mistook the words coming out of your mouth. I know you are a fine coach, Coach, but we both know we can't lie to the public.

Mr. TUBERVILLE. Will the Senator yield?

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. The Senator will yield.

Mr. TUBERVILLE. Your neighbor to the southwest has been recognized as the No. 1 barbecue in the United States by many, many authorities, so I think we probably could leave it at that.

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Will you yield?

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TUBERVILLE. I will.

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Thank you, Coach.

I will just simply say that although there are many, many people living in Alabama coming to the conclusion--it makes total sense to me. Alabama is a fine State. You guys produce national championships, and you know something about that. Of course, the home of barbecue, the beginning place of barbecue and sweet tea is South Carolina.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TUBERVILLE. Will the Senator yield?

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Yes, sir.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TUBERVILLE. That sounds like a challenge.

Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. We will have a taste test.
