Mullet man Mike Gundy guided the Oklahoma State Cowboys to an Alama Bowl victory.  We can all agree, they deserve a ring for their bowl win.  It's what's on the side of the rings that makes them abnormal. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="575"]@BP_State @BP_State[/caption] Oklahoma State had a 10-3 record, not 11-2.  Gundy isn't counting the Cowboys last-second loss to Central Michigan.  The game ended on an untimed down, an untimed down Central Michigan should not have been awarded.  The Cowboys lost on a miracle play thanks to an official's error. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a24Vg-0QSzU Even though they were wrongfully handed a loss by the officials, Oklahoma State still got embarrassed by an unbelievable Hail Mary.  If I was wearing the ring, the edited record would only remind me of that painful loss every time I wore it.  It's silly to change the ring, but I can't hate on anybody's athletic ring because I wish I had one. "They hate us, cause they ain't us." - Mike Gundy, probably.
