College Football Bowl Gifts For 2010
By Ty Duffy
New Mexico Bowl: Pen with box and a Christmas ornament? You shouldn’t have!
Humanitarian Bowl: New Era skull cap, waterproof breathable parka, winter gloves and hand warmers. All useful items in Fresno, CA where the average temperature never drops below 50.
New Orleans: A Balfour ring. Nothing reels in the ladies like a high-school ring from the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Fortunately, Ohio and Troy can tweet about how much the ring sucks from their new iPod Touch.
Alamo: Xbox 360, awesome. Twenty-dollar gift card to Game Stop that isn’t enough to buy anything, not so awesome.
Texas: Belt Buckle. Didn’t see that one coming.
Pinstripe: Did not disclose. We are assuming a complimentary lecture on Yankee history and 15 minutes to breathe the rarefied air from the Legends seats.
Sun: Helen of Troy hair dryer and Souvenir coin. Two things that won’t make it into the suitcase on the way home.
Chick-Fil-A: Chick-Fil-A gift card + $250 Best Buy gift card = no complaints.
GoDaddy.com: Nikon S70 touch-screen camera package. In the Facebook/Twitter era, this probably won’t end well.
Gator: No electronics. Lame.
The gifts are lovely, but, obviously, nothing compares to being “the toast of the town” for a week.
