knapplc Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Governors Make Friendly Wager over NU-MU Football Game Gov. Dave Heineman announced a friendly wager with Missouri Governor Jay Nixon on the outcome of the upcoming Big 12 North showdown between Nebraska and Missouri college football teams. The University of Missouri Tigers will face the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Cornhuskers on Saturday, October 30 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. Earlier this week, Gov. Heineman’s office was approached by Gov. Nixon’s office, with Gov. Nixon offering an array of Missouri themed products. If the Huskers win, Gov. Nixon will be sending Governor Heineman Missouri black and gold candy representing the colors of Mizzou, a walnut candy bowl and fishing lures. Should the Tigers win, Gov. Heineman is offering to purchase Omaha Steaks for Gov. Nixon. “Saturday will be an exciting game,” Gov. Heineman said. “In a defensive struggle, the Blackshirts will prevail. I’m looking forward to sharing Missouri candy with Coach Pelini and the Huskers.” “It will be a special day in Lincoln,” Gov. Nixon said. “Mizzou will beat Nebraska 27-17 in our last appearance at Memorial Stadium. I appreciate Governor Heineman’s willingness to wager – unlike Oklahoma’s Governor Brad Henry last week – and look forward to comparing Nebraska beef to a Missouri born and bred KC Strip.” Saturday’s game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT and will be nationally televised.

MUfan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 So your Governor gets licorish (no idea how to spell it) and caramels if you win. In a walnut bowl. With fishing lures. Nixon gets steak. I'm thinking Nixon isn't too confident about this thing. Quote Link to comment

I'm thinking Nixon isn't too confident about this thing. and i question the judgment used in mixing candies and fishing lures. i hope does not confuse the gift bowl with the bowl for trick-or-treaters. 1 Quote Link to comment

I know...it's almost like Nixon rummaged around his office and found some stuff he had laying around to wager with. Lame. Quote Link to comment

LouisianaHuskerFan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Enough with these stupid wagers between politicians. They stink! Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 bullsh#t!!! This is a weak wager!! If Nebraska wins, the Mizzou Governor has to run down the field while Martin gets to hit him. If Mizzou Wins, Chase Daniel can flick more boogers on national tv Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 You guys are looking at this in the wrong way. Its a friendly wager, who cares what each side gets. Its just a fun thing. Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I say the loser has to prance his best looking mistress around the field in her birthday suit. 2 Quote Link to comment
