January 8, 2005 - {It's Weekend America on MPR--I'm GC...The last match-up of these teams threatened to disrupt Christmas Eve church services and family holiday meals. Yes, the fabled rivalry between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers continues during tomorrow's {sun} wild card game on Lambeau Field. The governors of Minnesota and Wisconsin have a wager going on the game. If the Vikings win, Governor Tim Pawlenty will dine on sausage and cheese. And if the Packers win, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle will enjoy a feast of walleye Wellington and wild rice soup. We have to admit two of our colleagues in the Minnesota Public Radio Newsroom have a history of waging their own bets. It usually involves the wearing of a spongy team hat! Midday Host Gary Eichten is a Minnesota Viking fan and has been known to sport a "cheese-head" hat when his team loses. Our Web Editor Melanie Sommer is a Packer Backer. She is the owner of the afore-mentioned cheese head hat--and has, on occasion, been forced by Mr. Eichten to wear a Vikings Helga hat complete with horns and braids. }
