Starting to think our Governor has some sort of gambling issue here. Wasn't wearing a Cardinals jersey enough? (Warning: graphic link. Not Cub-fan friendly)
LANSING, Mich. - It's not just sports teams that will have bragging rights after Saturday's big clash between the Wolverines and the Buckeyes. The Michigan and Ohio governors are getting in on the act, too.
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm promised Thursday to send Ohio Gov. Bob Taft a University of Michigan sweat shirt, Gerber baby food, Faygo pop, Jiffy Mix and a selection from Zingerman's Delicatessen in Ann Arbor if the No. 2 Wolverines fail to take down No. 1 Ohio State. The basket of goodies will be donated to charity.
If the Buckeyes fall, Taft will send Granholm a basket containing Ohio food products, including chocolate buckeyes.
Granholm seemed fairly confident the Wolverines would succeed.
"Shouts of `Go Blue' will be heard throughout Michigan on Saturday," the Democratic governor said in a news release. "We are confident the Wolverines will return home to Ann Arbor to the chants of `Hail to the Victors.'"
Are we going to have to stage an invervention? We are lucky the Lions aren't going anywhere- we might lose the whole state if this keeps up.
Oh, and GO BLUE!
