If only we had made it to the Sun Bowl so the players could get the Helen of Troy hair dryer.

Does anyone know what is involved in a "gift suite"?  From the article: "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."

They basically fill a hotel conference room full of crap to choose from, and the players walk through and write down what they want up to a certain amount.

North Face is for girls who want to pretend like they're outdoorsy. That's 98% of their clientele.
