Jumper_Dad Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'd be surprised if they did. I want to look and see now. Check out last years, it's right on the side. Noles did it too, proclaiming themselves state Champs on their ring with Miami and Florida scores on the rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Louisville's rings in the past haven't mentioned the governor's cup? I bet they have! It doesn't look like their Sugar Bowl rings have any mention of the Governors Cup on the rings. It says Big East Champions on it. Sugar Bowl Champions and Back to Back 2011 and 2012 on it.

"News of the rings, meant to celebrate FSU’s appearance in the Peach Bowl and a 10-win season highlighted by in-state victories over Florida and Miami, has been criticized by fans of both schools and viewed as participation awards."

PurplePride92 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 [ATTACH=CONFIG]61388[/ATTACH] FSU did it too Embarassing as hell. National titles and bowl game victories are the only exceptions in my book. If you lose the bowl game then you get no ring IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplePride92 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 FSU got a ring for getting dusted by Houston in the Peach Bowl. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Nole fans don't defend the practice so they have that going for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches like to show off a case of rings to recruits, recruits don't care if they are for wins or losses...they ain't looking that close at the rings.
