HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS - Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee&#39;s going to miss out on his Georgia peach ice crea. But Governor Barnes will enjoy barbecue from Hot Springs&#39; famous McClard&#39;s restaurant. <br> <br> Huckabee lost his friendly wager with Barnes in last week&#39;s Southeastern Conference championship game. Arkansas lost 30-3 to Georgia in Atlanta. <br> <br> The restaurant&#39;s owner -- Joe McClard -- has volunteered to pack and send the barbecue dinners to the Georgia governor&#39;s office on Tuesday. <br> <br> Huckabee made a similar wager, but with higher stakes, when Arkansas played Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl last year. <br> <br> In that wager, Huckabee bet Governor Frank Keating an Arkansas duck hunt against an Oklahoma quail hunt. Arkansas lost 10-3 and Keating collected on his win in January.
