So LSU gets a watch, and that's it?

The question is can Miles use it?

It will be set to Les Miles time i am sure. If Bama gets a watch it will be set back 1 sec

I like the ones where they get a football. I'm sure it is commemorative, but I'm pretty sure I'd be like "oh sweet, I've been wanting one of these things"

I guess Fossil is still around? I see them in a couple of packages.

I think Fossil just has so many shitty watch models that the bowls can always get one in the odd value they need to hit 500.

I still use the Adidas bag I got from the Humanitarian Bowl.

They'll get some good stuff beyond that though.

So the Tourneau watch is value at $500 ?

In the past the Orange Bowl does a gift suite.

Link to Article

quote:

Tourneau watch valued at approximately $110, and then step into a ballroom full of gifts and make their selections that combine for approximately $440.


quote:

There are eight tiers of prizes. Gifts with a "1" designation are the least valuable, increasing up to the "8" tier of most valuable gifts.

Each player gets eight points, which means he could take one gift on the "8" tier and go home, take eight of the "1" gifts, or mix and match.


Some of the higher tiers

quote:

Tier 6: 10 choices, including higher-end headphones and cameras, a Sony home theater system, floor speakers, an electric tabletop grill, a Fender acoustic guitar, a 9-inch portable DVD player and a home theater recliner.

Tier 7: 10 choices, including video gaming headsets, a trail camera, a Sony sound bar with wireless subwoofer, outdoor speakers, a Toshiba 32-inch HD television, a Big Man's recliner and a Trek mountain bike.

Tier 8: 9 choices, including optical binoculars, an Armani watch, an Esqmovado watch, a Pandora 5-charm bracelet, a Ferragamo women's French wallet, a Sony Blu-Ray home theater system, a Sony audio system and two different kinds of Briggs & Riley suitcases.

You know the Texas Bowl was going to have a belt buckle. I'm sure it is big, gaudy, and gold.

Bet most of the belt buckles will be in pawn shops for the cash if they are gold.

I never understood why Fossil watches always seem to be the most popular item to give out for bowls. It's been that way for years, and, really, do football players have some sort of Fossil fetish or something?

I think they get the NASCAR experience as well at CLT Motor Speedway...they may want to check for valid drivers license

Otherwise, the Gamecocks offseason suspension thread will hit it’s quota before 2015

I have always wondered how so many of these things which all normally cost far more than $500 on their somehow come in under that for the bowls. Case in point I spent over $800 on a pretty standard Trek bike a few years back.
