Henry Bets Products On Cowboys, Sooners

With Oklahoma State University facing Indiana University at the Insight Bowl on New Year’s Eve, Governor Brad Henry and Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels have made a friendly wager on the game.

Each governor is wagering a basket of products from their respective states on the outcome of the 19th annual Insight Bowl. Those items have yet to be determined.

In addition, the losing governor will have to wear for a day a tie bearing the winning university’s logo.

Henry said he has faith the Cowboys will be victorious. “OSU has a terrific team that is certain to benefit from an outstanding offense and solid post-season bowl experience,” he said. “I am confident that Coach Gundy and the Cowboys will prevail, and I look forward to sampling some of the finest goods that the Hoosier State has to offer. I would urge Governor Daniels to start thinking now of what suit to wear with an orange and black tie.”

State bragging rights and a basket of goods are on the line also with a friendly wager between Henry and West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin III on the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The University of Oklahoma Sooners and West Virginia Mountaineers will play in the bowl game Wednesday at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Bottom Falls Out For Sooners

The OU Sooners fell to No. 10 in the BCS rankings after Saturday's loss to Texas Tech, in which OU became the 11th top-ranked team to lose to an unranked opponent this season. This Saturday, it's bedlam in Norman as OU faces the OSU Cowboys. The Cowboys defeated Baylor 45-14 on Saturday.

OSU Shows Up, OU Doesn't

The Cowboys took care of business Saturday, defeating Baylor 45-14. The Sooners, however, fell to Texas Tech 34-27 in a game that wasn't even that close. The OU defense was no defense, and the offense, even with quarterback Sam Bradford in the game, struggled. With backup Joey Halzle in after Bradford suffered a concussion, it seemed to run in reverse. With the loss went any hope OU will play for the national championship, and they appear in a battle for a spot in the Big 12 Championship race.
