Did you buy a National Championship ring? If so, that’s weird. 

It was a gift. Why would it be weird to buy Husker memorabilia?

To me, a championship ring isn't Husker memorabilia.  It's not like a jersey, or helmet, or signed football,  A championship ring is a reward for being part of a championship team.  You didn't :"earn" that ring, so I just think it's weird to buy a championship ring.

So what should I do with it since I didn't earn it?

I guess you can put it on display in your home, but it's especially weird if you are wearing a championship ring, for a team which you had no part of, out in public.  You may think it's perfectly normal, but I think most people would agree with me.  In fact, most players who earn championship rings keep them in a random box in a desk at home, and some of them end up selling them if they are in need of cash.

 

If you are wearing it out in public, you are doing it to draw attention to yourself.  So, when someone asks you "hey man, cool ring, were you on the '95 team?" you have 2 choices. You can be honest, which draws questions of "why do you have that ring then?", or you can lie, which makes you look like a bigger d-bag.

You certainly have some strong opinions!

I just think it's weird to have something which is given to OTHER people as a "reward".  Do you go around collecting bonus checks or trophies which aren't yours, too?  Do you wear a Masters green jacket to church on Sunday?

I'll be sure not to wear it around you.

I'm sure the ring is a hit at Beatrice Country Club.

So whose ring is it?  Don't they have a name/number etched into them?  Or wasn't that a thing in 1995?

 

Also, it is totally weird to wear a championship ring out in public from a team that you weren't apart of and didn't earn.

It's my ring! It was my Uncle Shot's. He was Assistant Athletic Director for HuskerVision when he retired 2018. I've been asking him for it since he first showed it to me some 27 years ago. He's got 94 and 97 NC rings, and all the conference championships rings from 94 on. The 95 ring rocks like sweet awesome. Now I'm hounding him for the other 2.

Button nipples? Button nipples.

 

 

What is he packing there, exactly?
