How does ring chasing apply to college football? Michelle, Angie, and Devin look at the recent trade of former Longhorn star Kevin Durant and the conversations surrounding him about his championships and what it means for the Texas Longhorns.

Texas only claims four national championships, but could reasonably claim up to nine. However, the four indicates just how much it takes to get a program to the national championship level. It takes transcendent players like Durant or Vince Young. Ricky Williams won a Heisman but never won a national title, but that doesn’t detract from his legacy at all as one of the all-time greats. The discussions uses that as further indication that ring culture is a toxic conversation considering only 12 Heisman winners have won national titles.

The conversation concludes with an overall appreciation of how difficult it is to win a national title and how Texas expectations remain lofty.
