Texas A&M reveals Orange Bowl rings
What do you get for winning an Orange Bowl?
A big ring full of diamonds, of course.
That’s the prize Texas A&M showcased this week after beating North Carolina 41-27 in the latest Orange Bowl, capping a 9-1 season for the Aggies.
That record was the second-best record in the SEC last fall, behind only national champion Alabama and the best record to date of the Jimbo Fisher era in College Station.
Here is the ring Texas A&M players and coaches earned for the winning the Orange Bowl:

Better with sound muted.
Nice ring. Well deserved.
Now that’s odd. I’ve been told by Aggies on this site that aTm was a 2-ring school, same as Jimbo Fisher said – their Aggie ring and a National Championship ring. They weren’t the least bit interested in an SEC Championship Ring. So, I assume ain’t no Aggies gonna be wearing that ‘big ring full of diamonds.’
Those Aggies must be t-shirt fans. An SEC ring would mean a $#!+-ton to this program. Look at how Jimbo has been recruiting for a program that has not won a conference since ’98. Just a couple more of those elite kids…
Those fans were supporting what their coach said – wanted to make aTm a 2-ring school. You were not one of ’em?
Nevermind, I checked, that was primarily an aTm fan lovindagame
Unlike anything in the state between Mississippi and Georgia TEXAS A&M can afford to give million dollar things to anyone associated with winning an Orange Bowl.
Never mind that last year’s TEXAS A&M football team would have beaten the hell out of Notre Dame and PROBABLY Ohio State and Clemson…
TEXAS AGGIES can afford to buy and sell the university of alabama 20 times over,
Forest Gump.
…Yep. That was GOOD.
eATMe
Seriously… We should just buy Alabama and fire Saban!
Why the hell don’t we do this?
News flash, those rings are not worth that much. Most of the diamonds are small and of poor quality. The same goes for National Championship rings. The schools can only pay so much, and if the rings were made out of gold, the gold alone would be worth more than they are allowed to spend.
True. This aTm ring appears to be stainless, maybe White Lustrium. Bama’s NC rings are made of Yellow Lustrium. (Lustrium is a nickel/chrome alloy infused with gold. Less expensive than even 10k gold fill.)
$415 limit, per the NCAA.
That rule will be obsolete in a few days after the Supreme Court ruling.
Could be. College football with a governing body that can’t make/enforce rules will be ideal…for anarchists.
I thought it was in the $500 range. That really is not that much. Most of what appears to be diamonds is rhodium.
Cubic zirconium with costume “ gold” is cheap too but looks nice.
Yeah, that too. None of the gemstones are authentic. Yeah, the $415 limit is for the total monetary value for the benefits of the award including the ring and that limit is for a National Championship. A Conference Championship is even less…like $315. I didn’t read far enough to get to the bowl games but I assume it’s less still.
if intelligent creatures from another planet ever did visit us, the first thing they’d do, out of sympathy, put us to sleep and free us of those painful looking rings we must have accidentally got stuck on our fingers. Especially those manly earth-men, couldn’t have put those kitty-cat things on their masculine fingers on purpose. Congrats to aTm players and fans, notice I appropriately left out congrats to the head coach.
Intelligent.
Funny.
Corrupted.
