OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and Idaho Gov. James Risch have made a friendly wager on the outcome of the Fiesta Bowl.

The governor whose team comes up short will donate a basket of goods made in his home state to a charitable organization of the winning governor's choice.

The University of Oklahoma and Boise State University will meet on New Year's Day in the annual game.

``I have unwavering confidence that Coach (Bob) Stoops and our Sooners will make Monday a triumphant one for the Crimson and Cream,'' Henry said. ``Boise State is an excellent team, but I plan to kick off the New Year with another OU victory.''

Risch also expressed confidence.

``All Idahoans are excited about this game against Oklahoma and are confident that the Broncos will prevail against this legendary team,'' Risch said. ``I am very happy to put up some of our state's best products.''
