Another NC ring is available

If that would be the reason -- I think a couple of benefits for Bobby would be a nice gesture -- he was before my time, but no doubt a popular Vol QB -- Deerpark posted Dr Scott wore the ring all the time, I hate to see him sell it off

I've seen many wealthy folks lose their savings and even homes over late in life medical costs. Yeah a GoFundMe for a VFL like Bobby would easily eclipse the 4k Dr Scott wants for his ring

For those that would like to have one for their memorabilia showcases. At least you won't feel bad that someone had to sell their ring.

I see it as a piece of memorabilia. Not something one would or should wear. Just for show.

This. It would be like not wanting a player worn jersey.

If you can get something like that to add to your collection, why not?

It never fails to crack me up that Butch had Gator Bowl instead of Taxslayer Bowl on the rings as if the Gator Bowl is relevant to anything.

Sad to see this for 2 likely reasons IMO.

#1. The owner likely needs the money, unless his harpy of a soon to be ex wife wants half the value in a settlement. Hope neither is true.

#2. I just do not understand why an actual fan would want to have one of these, it's not like you played or even were part of the team. To me, it's like the stolen valor guys wearing military medals one did not earn.

Soooo you are serious gonna act like you wouldn't want to own a piece of championship history?

Yes, my Lenoir City Grasshoppers team played in the Eagle Bowl when I was 7. I don't recall my coach referring to it by a different name, though.

wrong

 

[BruinVol]

If I am not mistaken players can get another ring made to replace theirs. Why wouldn't they sell one for 4500 and buy a new much much cheaper?

Only one #10 on the roster that year.

 

[BigSteve09]

There was a cab driver in Knoxville who had one ~10 years ago. I rode with him a couple of times and he had all these great stories about the 90's Vols. I think a relative played for the Vols and gave him the ring at some point.

 

[SHOWOFF]

The ring was actually stolen in early 2000s from Benson. I heard from him, that they contacted that guy, and Benson now has his ring back.

Plus, Bobby Scott is a long time rep for Jostens' rings.
