If Nevada wins, Mayor Emanuel will send 16 dozen doughnuts from Reno’s DoughBoys Donuts to Mayor Schieve. If Loyola wins, Mayor Schieve will send 16 dozen doughnuts to Mayor Emanuel from Chicago’s Dat Donut.
“The Loyola Ramblers have electrified Chicago,” said Mayor Emanuel in a press release. “While I fully expect that we’ll be celebrating a win with Chatham donuts at Chicago City Hall, we’re prepared to deliver sweet treats to Reno City Hall in the unlikely event the Wolf Pack is able to earn a Sweet Sixteen victory.”
“It’s been an unbelievable season for our Wolf Pack as they stay focused on The Hunt,” said Mayor Schieve. “We are looking forward to our donuts Mayor Emanuel!"
