Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today made good on her friendly wager with Texas Governor Rick Perry.  The Governor donned a Baylor Bears basketball jersey to enjoy a serving of Blue Bell ice cream and Dr. Pepper sent by Governor Perry.

“The only thing sweeter than these Texas treats would have been a Spartan victory in the championship game,” Granholm said.  “The lady Spartans played an outstanding season of basketball, and the state of Michigan thanks them for representing us so well in the championship game and throughout the entire tournament,”  

Governor Granholm and Governor Perry made their bet on the outcome of the 2005 NCCA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship game between the Michigan State Spartans and the Baylor Bears on April 5.  The Bears won with a score of 84-62.
