Oh no! Not 11-Win Rings!! We'll never be able to be the same again. Recruits will see this and never want to come around this program again.
Oh wait no, we got a commit today that had offers from at least 9 other SEC schools, guess they don't care. Our program is saved.

It get why they did it last year but it's gotten lame. Seems like Spurrier would say no more rings until a SEC or national championship.

Each bowl gives the schools $387.00 for each player to use as they see fit ... some just give it to the players for bowl spending money. Some buy cheap watches with it. Others do other things with it but all teams usually let the players vote on what they wanna do with the money.
Spurrier has a long tradition, since his Duke days, to recommend rings if they win ... and he always recommends something unique. He did it at Florida too, and now he does it here. They've got a deal with Jostens or Badours, I can't remember which, to do the rings for the accepted price as a promotion.
When our guys win bowls recently (past two) they have elected to have the number 11 put on them ... not just for the number of wins but, in honor of their coach who they all admire and worship from what I understand. It's the team secret ... Spurrier's #11.
Spurrier has taken it as an honor and he has really attached himself to the school and the players in, and dare I say this because it is probably not going to be well understood ... but he seems to really love these guys. Of course, he told them to go ahead and get a 12 win season and they'll find another hidden meaning to share among themselves.

Exactly, Allen-Williams out of Georgia who also had an offer from Saban (among many others), and he said he is going to spend from now until February recruiting for South Carolina. LINK
Those damn 11 rings and that damn #11 wearing Spurrier ... gonna be the downfall of our program yet.

I'm sure Ole Miss will unveil their "greatest recruiting class ever" rings soon.

Almost as bad as putting "2nd Nationally" on a ring and being proud of it.

That's really bad

An 11 win ring? 
Talk about a school with zero history and an even lamer AD and Coaching staff to allow this. Has this really became y'all's goal?

This coming from a school who painted "Division Champions" in the stadium, when in fact they didn't even play in Atlanta?

You weren't even co champs .. co champs does technically mean you were SEC west champions.
