It's very American to create mementos for everything. Yea, the crowd was huge--and that's wonderful--but it was still just a regular season game. If some entrepreneur wants to produce rings (or t-shirts or other merchandise) and people want to buy it, fine--but to give rings to players for the game? Rather lame, like the trophy. Trophies and rings SHOULD be for real ACHIEVEMENTS--i.e, a championship, not just participating in a game with a big crowd. There are other ways to remember the event--some sort of nice plaque rather than a trophy for the schools and something for the players other than a ring. Is it a big deal? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? No, but it's still a bit lame.
