Let's make #SunBowlGifts a thing.

H/T to Ty for suggesting making this a thing.

Apparently hair dryers are given out annually since Helen of Troy is headquartered in El Paso.

Here's the list of all of the bowl game gifts. Sun Bowl gifts:

Gift suite; Timely Watch Co. watch; Top of the World cap, Majestic fleece pullover; Ogio backpack; coin, Helen of Troy hair dryer

I'll post some of my favorites as they roll in.

^ This one definitely wouldn't come close to being worth the $550 allotment each player can receive in gifts

Gift Suite is the key term in that lineup. It's a hotel room filled with goodies and the players each select what they want within a specified budget. Probably around $350-400 based on the named gifts, since the NCAA limits the giveaways to a total of $500.

Wiley, Brown, Russell, Drakeford, Gray, Banks, Prioleau, Charleton, Midget, Bird, McCadam, Pile, Hall, Green, Fuller, Williams, Hamilton, Rouse, Flowers, Harris, Chancellor, Carmichael, Hosley, Fuller, Exum, Jarrett

Yea, completely unsure why they give hair dryers... Regardless if the company is located in the bowl town or not. I'm sure each player would have gladly accepted a year supply of Ol El Paso Picante Sauce over that damn hair dryer....

From a woman's perspective on the hair dryer.....this could be a really expensive hair dryer.
Mine was $100 and not even close to being deemed "professional" like real stylists use.
The hair dryer my stylist uses was $300. But yeah still a weird bowl gift. And yes I have a $100
hair dyer. Don't you judge me! LOL

I can only assume you have well groomed hair...but if you have a $100 hair drier AND unkempt hair...I think it's fair to judge

I actually do, thanks! I have really thick hair so it takes a LONG time to dry. Use to
take me about 15-20 mins to dry every morning. Now only 10. So the dryer has already
paid for itself.

Helen of Troy IS an expensive brand! LOL. I have a curling iron that is that brand but I have a hair-dryer made by Chi. The quality of hair dryer you have does help a lot in the mornings :P The players expecting this easily have a great Christmas gift for their mothers!

The hairdryer is actually a smart & practical gift this winter...

I bet Troy Palumalu would have liked that one.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

For the players' sake, I hope it's a cheap one. Would hate for their $550 gifts budget to get eaten up by something they're all going to regift.

I have a hair dryer. It was free. It was left at my house by a guest I'll never see again. She had a ponytail. She was a pony. She had difficulty using the hair dryer.

Did y'all play pin the tail on the pony? A one night stable?
