Ring #5?

[A1pigskin]

My last ring had 7 diamonds, representing 7 NCs at the time. It's the players' ring, not the fucking fans'. This discussion pisses me off a bit!!

Players should have 100% input.

Would NDSU have won 5 straight national championships without the crowd noise of the dome?

Fan support, both audible and financial, is of course important to any team, and certainly played a role in the success of the Bison over these many years. Would we have won 5 without the benefit of the crowd noise in the dome? Who knows? It certainly didn't hurt.

But until we fans start showing up at 5 AM to lift weights every day, carry a full credit load PLUS athletic responsibilities, and put our physical health on the line every season... (and I don't mean by curling one too many Jaegarbombs)... then I believe the championship rings to be an entitlement that should be reserved solely for the players. They should have input into the design, and they should be the only ones allowed to wear them.

God knows they've earned them.

Should fans wear a national championship shirt/hat? I don't. Wtf is the difference? Anyone with half a brain know the coaches/players did the work and the fans paid the bills that allowed it to happen.

And...they have to earn their spot on the team, then show, everyday, that they are simply part of the "team" no matter how much individual talent each might have. As you said...the "ONLY" ones who should wear them!

Seriously, how many times are we going to get scolded for discussing things as fans?

Biting hands and all that.

I hope we have the opportunity to have the same discussion next year.

This.

Having said that...any fan who wears one of these is a giant tool.

I could see having the replicas sitting in a shelf together in a mancave or something. I don't think I'd do it personally, maybe if I had all 13.

What else would a fan do with one? Are people actually wearing these?
