I would love to live in your world, just for a bit. Message boards have no messages, as nothing is board worthy. Flowers smell like vomit. Rainbows kill people. It sounds wonderful.

Why is a post about the apparent actions of a recent QB of our major rival not worthy in your eyes?
Right now there are posts about University of Nike, MNF with Miami vs TB, and what an OSU WR said about playing Bama and FSU. You haven't posted a comment in any of those threads demanding that they be deleted, and they're no more relevant to Michigan football than Pryor selling his ring.

What do you have to worry about, exactly? Is there anything that falls on your plate as "things that Michigan needs ME to do to have success?"

yes, because we're having trouble winning football games we can't be interested in anything else.
as fans, we must focus all of our attention on the problems this football team faces. it's the only way that we, as, you know, FANS, can solve them. everyone - wave your fingers towards your computer screens, like the maize rage during free throws. IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE.

Damn, mate. You sure do like commas.

How many tattoos did he get for $16,000?

On pawn stars they where saying to retail value of Division series rings where 2,500 to 3,500. I'm guessing somewhere in that range. If i had 13-16 grand laying around i'd buy a U of M big ten championship ring all day. I was actually looking for a 97 national championship ring for my wedding ring lol

I forget - are we chastising collegiate athletes for selling memoribilia and/or making money off of their likeness or are we praising them? I can't keep up with the times anymore.

it's highly unlikely he needs the dough. Assuming that this really is his ring and it wasn't stolen from him, it's a pretty stark message about how he regards his time playing for OSU. I'd hate to think that UM players would be hocking their 1997 and 2003 rings, but I suppose it's already happened.

You realize that this isn't Pryor selling the ring on eBay, right?
This is one of the items that he sold to the tattoo parlor that started the whole scandal. This appears to be someone associated with the tattoo parlor in some way attempting to re-sell the ring. Presumably the items were returned to them after the owner was investigated in the unrelated drug sting that started the mess, as there is nothing illegal about buying a player's item.
November 12th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
but the intent of the previous post is the same, TP gave up his B1G championship ring.

I remember being in college. I remember besides the 20 bucks a week my mom sent me, all I had was whatever was left over in my bank account from working every waking hour for peanuts at the NCRB over the summer or during Xmas break. Some video games, some dvds, a baseball glove, one of my video game systems (etc...) that I had all bought myself were victims of my need to have more money in order to have any sort of existence outside of just going to class. If I was willing to sacrifice those things for a few bucks as a 19 year old, who I am to chastise Pryor for doing the same kinda thing. As an adult with at least some means now, I can hypocritically look at Pryor with disgust for doing what he did. But to be honest, while I may not have actually done it, I sure would've thought about doing the same exact thing.

Don, even if it were Pryor who is selling that ring, it would not be an issue of need, rather want. People who are rich and set for life (along with countless generations after them) don't do what they do because they need to; they do it because they want to.
November 12th, 2013 at 10:02 AM ^
The thing I find most fascinating about all this is that the seller's other items are basically a mix of cheaper football kitsch, Disney and Christmas items and a Winx Club comic book. I am guessing the proceeds from the ring might go to purchase more Miami Hurricanes stepping stones and inflatable Texas A&M chairs and Winx Club comics, if his list of items for sale is any indication.

Was Ebay even around for our guys to sell shit back when we actually won rings?
November 12th, 2013 at 10:07 AM ^
Who cares?
Threads like this lower the collective IQ around here. And it aint that big to go messin' around with in the first place.

TP needs to make room for the 10 Super Bowl rings he is on pace to win.
