You can probably get a pretty sweet Tat in exchange for one of these bad-boys... never-mind that rings are normally reserved for National Championships.

Ohio state...home of the ..."hey look at us! everyone loves us too right" for way tooooooooo long

These could go right on a shelf right next to XUs final five rings in terms of cheesy self-love.

The rings tOSU created by themselves for winning their division should frost the NCAA (but won't) since it is really tOSU's way of throwing their ban back in the NCAA's face.

I think it's pretty dumb to create a ring for winning a division like tOSU did. Whopee you won your division. Those players that get them will likely sell them because in the end it's a stupid reason for a ring. Who wants to wear a ring from a season when you won your division but didn't get to play for the title? Just a reminder of a season of lost opportunity.

However, rings are awarded for more than just national titles — many conferences award rings to their overall conference champion, Big East included.

Let's see. That will be entry No. 183,898,346 of why I hate Ohio A&M.

They will end up here.

to$u...does that stand for teflon o$u?

from espn today...."Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has broken his silence, defending himself and the University of Florida over the treatment Aaron Hernandez received while playing for the Gators.
Hernandez, who played under Meyer at Florida from 2007-09, has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Odin Lloyd near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass. Prosecutors say Hernandez arranged Lloyd's shooting because he was upset at him for talking to certain people at a nightclub.
"Prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim," Meyer texted to the Columbus Dispatch. "Relating or blaming these serious charges to the University of Florida, myself or our staff is wrong and irresponsible."

Until now, Meyer had declined comment about Hernandez. He said his text to the paper was prompted by inaccurate reports about the treatment Hernandez received at Florida.
"I just received an email from a friend where there is an accusation of multiple failed drug tests by Hernandez covered up by University of Florida or the coaching staff. This is absolutely not true," Meyer texted to the paper. "Hernandez was held to the same drug testing policy as every other player."

Meyer continued to defend himself and Florida in the text.

"He was an athlete at Florida 4-7 yrs ago and there are some comments being made that are not correct," Meyer's text continued. "Our staff, myself and our families worked very hard to mentor and guide him."
