A North Carolina sports team is playing for a championship on Friday.

So, naturally, the governor is in a betting mood.

Gov. Mike Easley announced today that he has made a friendly wager with Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner on the national championship game on Friday between the Appalachian State University Mountaineers and the University of Delaware Blue Hens.

Easley is putting up, surprise, a pound of Eastern North Carolina barbecue from Wilbur's in Goldsboro and a pound of western barbecue from the Barbecue Center in Lexington. He'll also throw in a case of Cheerwine.

Minner is putting up what are described as Delaware favorites - Grotto's pizza, Nic-o-Boli's and Dogfish Head root beer.
