Gifted athletes
In bowl game loot, Ohio State and Texas players received:
—-MyVu personal media viewer;
—-iPod Nano;
—-watch;
—-snack pack;
—-game hat.
The media viewer enables users to watch video from their iPods in a pair of sunglasses, and several Buckeyes already have tried it.
“The way it is designed, it forms to your face. It is really nice in the way it allows your eyes to just look forward as opposed to trying to focus,” punter A.J. Trapasso said.
Trapasso watched Pineapple Express. Nader Abdallah watched Rush Hour. Alex Boone gave his viewer away as a Christmas gift.
The NCAA permits bowls to spend up to $500 on gifts for up to 125 members of a school’s traveling party.
“It shows the class of the bowl to go out and spend the money they do for the gifts you receive,” linebacker Marcus Freeman said.
Last year, the Buckeyes received a Nintendo Wii game system as the main gift. The year before, it was an XM radio.
“I’m good as far as electronics,” Freeman said.
Some of the other gift packages this year:
BCS championship game: $300 Sony gifting suite. Members of the official party may order gifts from a Sony suite set up at the team hotel.
Champ Sports Bowl: a $400 shopping spree at Best Buy during the bowl trip.
Emerald Bowl: Sony noise-canceling headphones.
Independence Bowl: Trek mountain bike.
Insight Bowl: Vizio 26-inch LCD HDTV.
