OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire is in Arizona this week on vacation and will be heading to San Diego Thursday to watch the University of Washington Huskies play in the Holiday Bowl.

The Huskies face the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers on Thursday night. On Tuesday, Gregoire made a bet with Nebraska’s Gov. Heineman on the game: if the Huskies win, Heineman will send Gregoire a box of Omaha steaks. If they lose, Gregoire will send Heineman fillets of Washington salmon.

Thursday’s game starts at 7 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium.
