sacker12 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 We actually got them last Wednesday. I would have posted photos of my ring, but I haven't been able to borrow a digital camera off someone. But, I found some photos of the ring from Facebook, so here they are. As soon as I get photos of my ring, I will try to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Holy :censored:! Those are huge! I remember one of my coaches for my high school played for Mizzou when they lost to Arkansas in the Independence Bowl, they got a ring for just going, and it was probably about that size. Crazy.How much did one of those things cost? Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Lucky. I didn't get an ACC Championship ring or an Orange Bowl ring. I did get a pretty sweet beach towel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U of Hawaii Warriors 3 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 at my work, we have 2 regular customers that come in, one played on the 1987 (i think, not positive) Troy team that won their conference... and another is an SEC ref that has a championship ring of USC's for refing the SC-Oklahoma championship game a few years ago... both look awesome, but the SC ring looks the best My favorite saying...

That ring was nice, but I side with you on the SC ring. You mean the ref's got rings, too? I honestly never knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cola Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Don't take this the wrong way, but it seems a little over the top. I also think I wouldn't really want a ring if I was a manager or ballboy and what not...because in 5 or 10 years when someone says "hey you played for Troy State in 20xx?" Your response is gonna have to start off with something like, "Weellll...."But still cool nonetheless that you did get one, piece of history.

DrBear Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 By then, he will not only have played for them, but scored the winning touchdown in the bowl game that made them unbeaten and unscored upon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I thought I was getting the shaft by waiting several months to get a bowl watch. Still, it isn't fair that the support staff didn't get any rings. They put in just as many, if not more, hours than the players do, and have to put up with a lot more crap than most people. It only seems fair that they would get rings.

It's a freakin' conference championship we're talking about... I mean, those are as big as some National Championship rings I've seen... As an example, here's Bemdiji State (D-II NSIC conference champ's) ring's for this past year:Second, where's the Troy logo? All I see with that ring is the rocks on the top... Don't you want folks who see that on your finger to immediatly know what it's for?Sorry, I'm not a fan. Sure it's neat you got one, but they are pretty poorley done...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only gave us a few options that we could use for the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get used to it after a while. Plus I really wouldn't wear it out of the house. Like, ever. Just more of a memento of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
