Eastern Washington University's triumph over the Montana Bobcats, 35-14, at the game in Cheney Saturday means that Montana Gov. (and rancher) Brian Schweitzer owes Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire five buffalo steaks.

"The governor expects to collect the buffalo meat from Gov. Schweitzer any day now," a Gregoire press release said.

But how about a gubernatorial pardon of the poor buffalo?

"He doesn't live in this state," came the press office reply. "No jurisdiction."
