Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle announced a friendly wager over the Gophers-Badgers and Vikings-Packers games.
Doyle bet a slate of sausage and cheese to Pawlenty's Hormel pork tenderloin and Minnesota wild race over the college football game. The NFL wager will be a selection of Minnesota beer vs. Wisconsin beer.
Since Gov. Pawlenty announced that Minnesota will end its tax reciprocity with Wisconsin, it may have been gutsier for the two to bet $131 million. That's the amount Minnesota will gain as a result of the decision to end the tax reciprocity.
