Henry, Blunt Make OU-Mizzou Game Outcome Bet

Governor Brad Henry and Missouri Governor Matt Blunt have made a friendly wager on the Big 12 Conference football championship pitting the top-ranked University of Missouri Tigers against the 9th-ranked University of Oklahoma Sooners.
Each governor is wagering 12 products from their respective states on the outcome of the Saturday evening game at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
If the Sooners prevail, Blunt will send 12 products from the Show-Me State. In the event that the Tigers win, Henry will pony up a dozen goods from the great state of Oklahoma. Those items have yet to be determined.
Henry said he has faith the Sooners will be victorious: “Missouri is an excellent team, but so, too, are the Sooners, and we have a wealth of experience on the championship stage,” he said. “I am confident that Bob Stoops and the Sooners will triumph in San Antonio, and I look forward to sampling some of the finest goods that Missouri has to offer, courtesy of Governor Blunt.”
Blunt expressed similar confidence in his team: “The Missouri Tigers are on a roll, and I cannot wait to watch them roll over the University of Oklahoma Sooners after mauling the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday night," he said. "The Tigers are ready for this historic game with the Sooners and we are ready to chalk up another victory."
Missouri enters the 12th annual Dr. Pepper Big 12 Championship Game with an 11-1 record for the season, while OU posted a 10-2 record for the season.
