Did Utah Football really just buy themselves rings after a 5 loss season in which they finished unranked in both polls?

mulletino ¿Qué te pasa?

Dude, they won the south and lost in the Conference Championship Game and fell apart in their bowl game

Yeah... at this point any smack we try to talk on them in football rings hollow

That is like smack talking after you slam dunk in a game you are losing by 30

When did winning a division ever mean a championship ring? I mean, good job, but

In other words, it's a thing losers do.

No, that’s not how it works. I’m not obligated to keep my mouth shut because we lost to them. It’s ok to still laugh at

Great job. Really weird to make 100+ rings over it.

mulletino

So it’s CB’s fault they bought rings for a subdivision championship?

no, just weird how it was such a big deal before

It's just a rivalry thing. We go to the lowest possible mark.

Put a Banner up in the locker room. That seems more reasonable.

On the bright side, winning the PAC12 South is almost like winning real title.

Winning the SEC West is harder than winning all other Conferences in College football except maybe the Big 10

A ring for it is still a joke—and many of their fans said so...

Maybe. But winning the SEC is actually a major accomplishment
