I'd be trading my Gator Bowl ring for a foot long Subway tuna on wheat and a six pack. Or a BJ, depending on good the guy's wife looks that's willing to trade his old lady for a stupid collectable ring.
I did see a picture of jacob Gilliam wearing his to an event he was speaking at last night. I don't know if be actually wore it or was asked to.
In my opinion, killing those trees in Auburn was more pathetic. Just cowardly. And pointlessly destructive.
A 5th year walkon that suffered through Dooley and played with one acl and a broken hand wearing it is okay, to me at least.
given the fact that what 65% of all bcs teams make bowl games, I find this practice silly. not quite on the level of giving kids a participation trophy, but not way different either. my school has been doing this forever too btw.
FSU got it's players and coaches state championship rings for beating Miami and USF. http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/92866/go-ahead-florida-state-flash-those-rings
