UNC, State get a similar gift

For all the differences in their football seasons — North Carolina with a hot start, N.C. State with a hot finish — the players on the rival teams will receive the same thing to end their respective years: a Pure digital flip mini camcorder.

The Sports Business Journal recently published a list of all of the gifts the various bowls will give to participating players.

The Tar Heels, who play West Virginia in the Meineke Bowl on December 27, will also receive a Fossil watch, Fossil sunglasses and an Armor Gear backpack. The Wolfpack players, who play in the papajohns.com bowl on Dec. 29, will also receive noise-cancelling headphones, a knit cap and an Ogio bag.
