Since, ya know, paying players is wrong... here is this year's comprehensive list of 'swag' from the various bowls. Interesting stuff in there. Maryland was crazy like a fox. http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/12/09/Colleges/Bowl-gifts.aspx
I'm digging that recliner, I wonder if the dorm rooms are going to be big enough to hold them. What is up with the hair dryer though??? A present for the girlfriend or mom..?
When my son went to bowl games in the early 90s (92-3-4), he received some great swag, but it was mostly clothing articles, watches, radios, etc. My, how things have changed in roughly 20 years.
dang it's a Helen of Troy Hair Dryer, not just a Hair dryer!! Pinstripe Bowl is just giving out New Era variety package...what the hell does New Era make besides caps?
Like Starter, they make a whole bunch of cool stuff that you don't generally see in the marketplace for a variety of reasons. Honestly, that New Era shopping suite is a pretty good gig. Those Best Buy gift cards are everywhere in this racket. That PS4 is a great grab/idea by the Military Bowl.I assure you, the only guys not bitching about their swag right now are the guys in the NC game. Everyone else saw this and said "DAMN! A PS4!?!?" I'm with you on the recliner Ralph. If that thing had a cone of silence, it would literally be the perfect piece of furniture.
Other than a muzzle I have never seen the cone of silence for sale anywhere.... Unless I thoroughly piss my wife off to the extreme but that silence is short lived and usually costly on many counts...
It would take a lot of swag to wash the bitter taste of telling your grand kids that you played in something called the "Beef O'Brady" bowl out of your mouth.
