Sport Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 We're starting to approach rec league soccer in terms of everyone gets a prize here. Rings for making a conference championship game? No wonder we're constantly hearing about players selling their rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thrill Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Well, the Packers have at least picked a ring company. The design might take awhile, seeing as how the team wanted player input...but a re-instated NFL lockout means teams are forbidden from even asking 'em.Meanwhile, I'm like THIS CLOSE to picking up one of these bad boys.(EDIT: Couldn't help myself. After a month of dithering, I pulled the trigger. Hope I'm not a complete douche...but I did shoot sideline video of every playoff game and Super Bowl XLV.)You might want to send it back - the Packers have announced that as part of their Super Bowl ring with Josten's they'll be offering "exclusive collections made for shareholders, season-ticket holders and a fan collection" starting in mid-summer. So you can have that one, or wait for an official version.Me, I'm looking forward to picking up a shareholder's ring.Hmmm...looking forward to seeing the design on that one. Wonder if it'll have personalization like my new one will. Of course, if more people order the Jostens fan version that this Bradford Exchange version I've got coming, mine'll look different...and I dig that. Quote Now on Facebook. And Twitter.

pianoknight Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Our society of rewarding mediocrity has resulted in Oklahoma State and Missouri (and probably A&M) Divisional Champ Rings. Really? 5/12ths of the Big XII was a "divisional champ." That's nearly 50% of the whole damn conference. And as a Husker fan, I choose not to recognize our "half claim" in 2008 - Missouri won the division fair and square.Unless you play in your conference title game, you don't deserve a half-claim to the division.What's next? Auburn gets a ring for winning the Iron Bowl? Fail. Quote 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF. TITLES | 5th in HEISMAN | 7th in DRAFTS | 8th in ALL-AMER | 7th in WINS | 4th in BOWLS | 1st in SELLOUTS | 1st GAMEDAY SIGN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Don't think these have been posted yet...I already posted a cropped image of the top of the NC ring that I found online, but this is the first time a drawing of the full NC ring, as well as the BCS ring, have been posted here.

Gothamite Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Why the hell does the Auburn ring have the Lombardi trophy on it?Because the basic design was stolen wholesale from the Patiots' Super Bowl XXXIX rings:They made minor tweaks, but apparently couldn't be bothered to remove the last Lombardi Trophy.
