UF to receive SEC East championship rings

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Oh...how far expectations have fallen...Damn shame!!!

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Are these SEC East champions rings or Outback Bowl rings that recognize that UF was the SEC Champs? To me that would make a difference. I do not know if Bowls give rings or not, but if they do and you get to design them, why not mention you won the east?

Participation rings.

Hell at least it's something we actually won and we're not giving out rings for made up championships like FSU.

 

[MJMGator]

We've already won the biggest championship of all.

Participation rings.

Which is pretty much what every team not named Clemson received this year. As Insti said, if it's an Outback Bowl ring that also throws in winning the East, I really see no issue with it. You can be critical of things and still acknowledge that these players--many who went through hell much of their 4 years here--accomplished something. If we'd gone all "Bristol" on things, criticism is warranted. As it is, hopefully they view it merely as a building block and aspire to achieve more.

I bet there is a trophy for each accomplishment. I think the ring is for both, it is an sec east ring with the bowl added.

He erased it...Looks like someone at UF didn't like his thoughts on the situation.

I'm fine with conference championship rings but division rings is pushing it.

Yep...once you tweet or post something it's always retrievable.

This is retarded. East championship rings? Is mac one of those coaches calling butch for advice?

It's 2017 folks, you might as well start getting used to this kind of stuff. Outback Bowl Champions! That's gotta rate higher than Life Champions, right?

 

[MJMGator]

I really don't care. Don't think I would have voted for it, but at least we won our bowl game this year so...

No, it think it exactly comparable to being a Champion of Life.
