Gov.

Chris Christie won't be traveling to Frisco, Texas to watch his beloved Blue Hens try for a football national championship.
Christie, a graduate of the University of Delaware and a season ticket holder, said he won't be attending the game on Friday.
"I'm not going to be going out of state on Friday to go to the national championship game," Christie said, chuckling when asked about the game at a press conference today, after taking a series of questions about his decision to remain in Florida while the state was hit with a blizzard.
Christie did offer a word of warning to the University of Delaware.
Christie is scheduled to deliver the commencement address on Sunday at UD's winter commencement. The last time he delivered the graduation address in January 2004, UD had won the football national championship the month before.
"If they win, I would be the extraordinary good luck charm," Christie said. "If it turns out that they lose, it's their fault and I had nothing to do with it."
