This is dumb.
Of course those kids deserve something to remember the season by. They should be able to remember what they did any way they damn well please. It's for them; not for us.
Yes I am, and I would mock Tennessee if we did this. It's pretty ridiculous. If you want to be in the "everybody gets a trophy" crowd, that's ok. I'm going to call a spade a spade when I see it and not cower just because my team hasn't done well recently.
I mostly wanted to point out that Texas reminds me of how it was at UT right before Fulmer got fired.
I'm guessing you don't realize what all players get for participating in every bowl game. My room mate all through college was a kicker for Tennessee. We used to specifically root for different bowl games because of the gifts and prizes the players would get for each.
Like the brand new gaming system (I forget which it was) when they went to the Cotton Bowl.
Everyone gets "a trophy" at every bowl, win or lose.
I think it's great they get all of the free gifts from the sponsors of the bowl games. The players deserve that kind of stuff, but a ring is different in my eyes. I think a ring should be reserved for championships. Especially for a school like Texas who should be competing for national championships.
