Probably should’ve called Jostens and canceled your order for these.<\/p>\n

Not like this!<\/p>\n The Tigers didn’t even need to embarrass themselves and the rest of the Southeastern Conference with these rings.<\/p>\n They were regular season SEC champs in 2025 and that alone seems like an accomplishment that is worthy of ending up on a championship ring.<\/p>\n For crying out loud, it’s called a “championship” ring for a reason.<\/p>\n I don’t want to be the arbiter of what you can and can’t celebrate, but it doesn’t get much more of a “consolation prize” than this.<\/p>\n And if you think I’m the only one taking Auburn to task for this latest transgression, you would be wrong.<\/p>\n A quick scroll through the comments section would show otherwise.<\/p>\n On second thought, this is pretty on-brand for a program like Auburn.<\/p>\n\n
