How can you tell North Carolina hasn’t won anything of significance on the football field?

The Tar Heels just handed out rings with “state champs” written on the side after going 8-4 and losing the Orange Bowl to Texas A&M.

Beating NC State, Duke and Wake Forest turned out to be reason enough to celebrate.

Here is a look at the team showing off its “accomplishment” from last season:
