Florida State football players get most bogus ‘championship’ rings ever

Florida State football players received “championship” rings for the 2015 season as a reward for accomplishing absolutely nothing.

The 2015 Florida State Seminoles didn’t go to the playoffs; they didn’t play in the ACC Championship Game; and they didn’t win their bowl game. They went 10-3 on the season, and were upset by one of the worst teams in the conference, Georgia Tech.

They finished their campaign by being absolutely hammered by Houston in the Peach Bowl, 38-24 (trust me, the game wasn’t as close as the score).

Yet somehow, Jimbo Fisher felt the urgent need to reward his team with a ring commemorating…

Nothing.

The FSU Football Twitter account tweeted out this picture of the ring in celebration of the 2015 “State Championship” – which roughly translates to beating a mediocre Miami team led by a lame duck head coach and winning against a Florida team with a first-year head coach and no quarterback to speak of.

Wow, Seminoles. That’s some impressive, ring-worthy work right there.

You get rings for winning championships….national, conference, bowl game, even division. The rings Urban Meyer gave his team for their 2013 undefeated probationary season make more sense than these useless pieces of bling.

This will go down as another example of the narcissism and ego that Jimbo Fisher totes around like a vuvuzela which he blasts into the ears of unsuspecting passers-by, “Hey look at us, look at me, look at our need for attention!”

If Fisher wants to hand out jewelry, perhaps he should give pairs of garnet-embedded golden handcuffs if he ever has a team who avoids having players arrested or charged with a crime.
