    Default Ring #5?

    Just received this in an email for the fan rings.

    Could this be the ring design for #5?



    Looks kinda boring if you ask me.
    Looking good Billy Ray!

    IMO they never should have went down the multi year ring thingy. Every team is different and each ring should be about that one season. I wouldn't have wanted a ring with a year on it that I didn't play but maybe that's just me.

    Or what happens when we get to the 8 peat? Going to need a big ring to get all those years on it! They clearly didn't think this through.

    I get what your saying though. Think up to the 3 peat was good. Then its kind of like well why stop now. Guess I don't mind having this problem. Some teams don't even get to think about ring design and we're deciding whether we want multiple years on it or not.

    I like that last year was subtle about it, with the "diamonds" on the corners.

    The captains choose the designs, then take input from seniors. I love the design. "To each their own" and when you are part of something special as this run has been, its a great reminder to themselves, (and us as fans) for what they have accomplished!

    My feeling is that even the redshirt freshmen this year were considered part of the team. Even if they weren't there for all 5, they were part of the team that did it. Goes with the culture of the program.

    Completely agree I think it ridiculous that they put multiple years on the same ring. The trophy doesn't have 5 years on it does it? Neither should the rings...It's effin stupid and has been since the repeat.

    Really?! Some of you care that much? Are you part of the team?Are you going to be wearing it? Not sure why this s such a big deal. Life must be good if we are debating what should be on a ring after a 5-peat!

    We dont wear the uniforms either but there is spirited debate about them.

    As far as rings for the fans??? if I didnt earn it I aint wearing it.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
