The playoff bowls don't appear to be significantly different.

Hello it does list a Gift suite? "Product details are provided as they were available as of Dec. 1. Most watches, rings, clothing, luggage and footballs are custom-made with the bowl logo. Gift suites are set up as private events in which game participants, and often bowl VIPs, are given an order form and allowed to select a gift, or gifts, up to a value that is predetermined by each specific bowl, not to exceed the NCAA limit of $550 per person. Additionally, teams listed may not reflect the noted conference affiliations. If a conference does not have enough bowl-eligible schools, a replacement school can be selected."
Fossil watches are $100 up woo hoo not. How many of these kids were watches? I haven't since the 90's.

I was just about to post that nobody seemed to catch that they weren't describing the gift suites, just the gifts that everyone receives.

I don't really see any gifts from any bowl that really stand out.

Well I mean you can't have the players reaping too much of a benefit in these yearly money grabs, that would just be improper

Curley Hallman never got his players anything. As long as they get something...

Can we engrave the belt buckles with "3rd in the West"?

The gift suites are the best.
It's a way to get around the $550 limit because they get these items at basically cost.
They have high-end electronics, mountain bikes, even home-theater recliners. I know Sony and Oakley usually provide gear that's not in even stores yet. The recliner that was offered last year was the Southern Motion’s Viva, a powered home theater recliner that has two USB ports that can charge mobile devices.
Last year the Cotton Bowl gave out a game logoed Fossil watch, Beats by Dre headphones and an iPad Mini.

Alamo bowl is getting a ton of great stuff.

They were originally going to offer a CD collection of show tunes. But when it was determined that TAMU wasn't going there that one fell through.
