TUCSON, Ariz. — Memo to the Sun Bowl: the Stoops brothers would prefer not to face each other in El Paso.

With speculation swirling about Arizona’s bowl destination, Mike Stoops said he hopes the Wildcats won’t have to play brother Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma Sooners in the Sun Bowl, one of two bowls pitting the Pac-10 and Big 12.

A few weeks ago, TotalBeauty.com deemed El Paso men the ugliest in the nation. It’s even inspired commentary from other cities ranked below El Paso. (Here is one from Mobile, Alabama, titled “Feeling Ugly? Go to El Paso.”)

Now, people of El Paso can own that title with El Chuco Ugly shirts. From their website:

Don’t look in the mirror El Paso men. Total Beauty.com claims you are the ugliest dudes in the country. Represent with one of our shirts. Proceeds go to charity

Their line includes pet bowls, aprons and canvas totes, so you can wear your El Chuco Ugly pride at all times of the day. Or give the El Chuco Ugly pride this holiday season for a good-humored friend.
