First Look at Division Championship Rings

Most embarrassing game I can think of that I watched on TV (I was at Montana State and Sac State).

I'd go with Fresno State. 55 - 7 at halftime. 35 - 0 after the first quarter. The Buffs were outgained 516-123 in the first half, and Fresneck had twice as many touchdowns (eight) as the Buffaloes had first downs (four). I was sitting next to an Oregon Duck fan friend of mine at our regular bar watching that one go down. Wow.

Alabama 2002:

Did you know that Alabama received SEC West championship rings?
I didn't either. Not that it's rare or anything -- or even really surprising -- but it was just something I hadn't been aware of.

"Well, rings to me are for winning something," Saban said. "We did win our division. So, part of the bowl gift was that our players did get rings for that."

Apparently, as part of the allotment players are allowed to receive for their bowl gift, the team collectively can choose to spend some of that on rings (rather than iPods or whatever). And the players are part of the decision whether or not to get them.

This time, they said they wanted them. After earning the first title game spot since 1999, I don't think it's a terrible idea. What do you think?

By the way, before Saban finished talking, he clarified the goals just in case anyone had it twisted.

"Obviously the goal is to win the SEC championship," Saban said. "If we can do that, we'll obviously be in the running for the BCS and have an opportunity to do that, I hope, sometime. But there is some great competition in our league right now. And some very good teams. Focus needs to be and our inspiration needs to be on what we need to do to do as well as those teams and what it takes to beat those teams on a day-in and day-out basis. Not the day you play them. The 365 days in preparation to play 'em."

Some people just can't help themselves. They are dicks through and through.

Way to go, Jim. I'm sure your trophy case is full of first place finishes and national championships. Maybe you should go teach Nick Saban a thing or two.
