Ohio, Louisiana Governors Engage in OSU-LSU Friendly Wager

1.3.08 - Columbus, Ohio – Ohio Governor Ted Strickland initiated a “friendly wager” with Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco today as The Ohio State University Buckeyes prepare to take on the Louisiana State University Tigers in Monday’s BCS National Championship Game.

“Only Ohio’s pride in our Buckeyes can compete with the team’s tremendous season this year,” Strickland said.

Governor Strickland promised to send Louisiana’s governor a sampling of Ohio’s finest home-grown wines in the unlikely event of a Tiger victory.

Strickland is looking forward to enjoying a New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition: king cake, decorated in traditional Mardi Gras colors, after OSU claims victory Monday night.

“Come Monday night, we hope to have our cake and eat it, too,” Strickland said. “Go Bucks!”
