Virginia governor: Ham’s on its way

Sebelius wins Orange Bowl wager

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine told Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius “the ham is on its way.”

Kaine and Sebelius had made a friendly wager on the outcome of Thursday night’s Orange Bowl between Kansas University and Virginia Tech.

KU won, 24-21, so Sebelius gets a Virginia ham. Had Virginia Tech won, Sebelius would have sent Kaine some Kansas beef.

Sebelius’ office said Kaine, who grew up in the Kansas City area, called her today to congratulate the Jayhawks and inform her of the incoming ham.

“Governor Sebelius said his Kansas values are shining through as he kept his word and followed through on his commitment,” Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said.
