It's not a class ring.
It's an Aggie Ring.
Each Aggie's ring is the same.
It's about solidarity and family.
Something I've noticed about the SEC: Many fans claim to respect & appreciate the game of college football and its inherent traditions--more so than fan bases in other parts of the country.
Yet whenever a school has traditions that stray from the SEC norm, many of you start in with the insults. Y'all want everyone to be the same.
Texas A&M University--in many ways--does things very differently than do other schools. That's how it's always been, and it's not likely to change. And all of the sophomoric, "we're too cool for that" comments won't cause any of us to do more than chuckle.
We don't laugh at your homecomings; cut us some slack on our dead dogs scoreboard.

So it's a ring that you wear when you graduate. That is a class ring. Just because I call a turd a block of gold doesn't mean it's not a turd.
This isn't a big deal and is just another unique tradition but still.
