"“Our players — we have bowl games and we have money allotted to bowl games so they can get what they want,” Stoops said. “I could care less what they get. They want a ring? We’ll get a ring. They want a t-shirt, we’ll get a t-shirt. They want a sweatsuit? We’ll get that. That’s for those guys to decide. So, I really don’t give a crap what anybody else says.”

Yeah well…it doesn't matter how you try to defend the reasoning…buying rings for a team that goes to a ****** bowl game and then proceeds to lose that ****** bowl game is just wrong and is very
"everyone gets a trophy-ish". Especially since there are 40 bowl games. FORTY!!! So congrats, football Cats, congrats on finishing somewhere between 41st and 80th in college football…here's your ring. smh
Guess what? All those little kids playing soccer this past season that played on
Team-Unicorn in the
New Johnsonville Township's We Don't Assume Gender And We Don't Keep Score And Everyone's A Winner Co-Ed / All-Genders Welcome Intramural League went 0-12 but still got the same trophy as the team that went 12-0. Why? Because they wanted one. And they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. And because it was in the league budget…because the parents had to pay $100 to watch Little Johnny pick his nose and watch butterflies while standing on a soccer field for an hour every Saturday for two months. And mostly because this effing world has gone completely mad.
Work hard. Accomplish something. Earn something. Get something in return. Real World truth right there.
Suck at something…you don't get jack shite. Just the way the real world works. The sooner little Jonny Nose Picker learns that…the better off he will be in the long run. TRUTH.
Riddle me this…what kind of trophy does the kid who finished last in the Spelling Bee get? What about the kid who finishes 5th? Hint: they both got the same thing…jack shite.
In HS, the valedictorian and salutatorian winners both get medals. What does the kid who finishes 3rd in a class of 350 students get? What about the dumbass kid who finishes 350th? I'll tell you what they both get…jack shite…that's what.
What did you get the last time you came in 2nd place in a job interview? JACK SHITE!!!
Coffee is for closers. Rings and trophies are for winners.
