Congresswomen Wasserman Schultz, Dingell Wager Hometown Foods on UF-Michigan Bowl Game

The Florida Gators and coach Jim McElwain gave Gator Nation a lot to be proud of this season, including an SEC East title, 10 regular season wins and an appearance in the SEC Championship Game! I'm confident the Gators will send the Wolverines home from Florida with their tails between their legs and I look forward to enjoying some delicious, if not necessarily clean cooked, Zingerman's Deli food, courtesy of Congresswoman Dingel.

 U.S. Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) and Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement today in anticipation of the University of Florida and University of Michigan playing in the Citrus Bowl on January 1, 2016, in Orlando, Florida. They announced the wager on Twitter and Instagram:

“The Florida Gators and coach Jim McElwain gave Gator Nation a lot to be proud of this season, including an SEC East title, 10 regular season wins and an appearance in the SEC Championship Game! I'm confident the Gators will send the Wolverines home from Florida with their tails between their legs and I look forward to enjoying some delicious, if not necessarily clean cooked, Zingerman’s Deli food, courtesy of Congresswoman Dingell,” said Rep. Wasserman Schultz

“The Gators may be playing close to home, but Michigan has Coach Jim Harbaugh and fans with energy who are ready to see a repeat of the last bowl game matchup in 2008,” said Rep. Dingell. “We’re looking forward to celebrating another Michigan victory.”

Rep. Wasserman Schultz will be wagering key lime pies from Bob Roth’s New River Groves in Davie, FL. Rep. Dingell will be wagering a selection of items from Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor, MI.
