Oh dear. Indiana sophomore guard Remy Abell just posted this picture of IU’s new Sweet Sixteen rings on Instagram.
That’s just precious.

NO ONE CARES..
We want #Petrino2UK news….
November 9th, 2012 at 11:10 am
That’s so sweet. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:11 am
Perhaps you should give credit to where you saw this first on Twitter. Typical.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:12 am
see name above
November 9th, 2012 at 11:15 am
What’s next? “I did my best.” rings?
November 9th, 2012 at 11:15 am
That cant be real is it?
November 9th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Oh dear God…..just when you think Indiana couldn’t get anymore sad..they go and pull this s***. Handing out rings for the sweet sixteen ? that’s like handing out Gold medals to all the retards at the special olympics for just being retarded.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:16 am
Let me fix that for you: #WeAreOnAMission
November 9th, 2012 at 11:16 am
What color ribbon is for 16th place?
November 9th, 2012 at 11:16 am
coming from where they had been, I think that was a nice gesture.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:16 am
What…the…eff? IU writes their own jokes at this point. How pathetic!
November 9th, 2012 at 11:17 am
@3 – Who pi$$ed in your Wheaties? The caption under the picture says it came from Instagram.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:18 am
Wow, the standards of success have really fallen at IU huh? That suprised me, like I am not even joking, thats kinda messed up.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:18 am
I thought Tennessee’s Elite Eight banner was pretty bad, but this is worse.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:18 am
I gave a girl a promise ring once, but she still wouldn’t let me go all the way either.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:18 am
And notice the “Defeating #1,2,5″. How sad that they commemorated their non-conf win against us on their ring. This coming from the preseason #1 team in the country. Act like you’ve been there before…….
November 9th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Can you say, participation award?
So, this season when everyone is predicting a final 4 – do they give out rings if they ONLY make the sweet 16? I would be soooo embarrassed if my school did this. It almost seems like iu tries to top itself at doing lame things. Keep up the good work, clappy.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:19 am
to change the subject due to IU being so sad, did I just read Thomas Robinson is suspended for throwing an elbow at somebodies neck? No big deal to me, but think if that was Boogie, on the same team the media would be calling for his expulsion from the league
November 9th, 2012 at 11:20 am
and I heard Memphis has one better, I heard they have a banner that says 2nd round NCAA….for last year….2nd round really meaning first round.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:21 am
3, I sent it to him on twitter to share here, but I did think he would reply back with something like, “Thanks, I’ll share it with our fans.” I got it from rupp rafters though.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:21 am
And they commemorate their win against us on it too! Rings for winning a regular season game! Almost as funny as 15.’s comment.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:21 am
lol
November 9th, 2012 at 11:22 am
One part of me says “This is cool” because I know Remy and went to Eastern High School with him, but overwhelmingly, the rest of me says “Really? A ring for a Sweet 16?”
November 9th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Too bad it doesn’t have the final score on it as well.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:22 am
GREAT EFFORT!!!
November 9th, 2012 at 11:25 am
Watford’s ring has engraved inside the band, “I got lucky too.”
November 9th, 2012 at 11:25 am
What? It didn’t mention their Espy?????
November 9th, 2012 at 11:26 am
This is sad!!! Like hanging a banner for participating in the NCAA (which I understand for teams who never get there or rarely get there), but IU has been there before….
I guess its typical of our society in general these days, everybody gets a trophy for PARTICIPATING. Back in the day, you had to WIN to get a trophy.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:27 am
That’s the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality now in college. Where’s the desire to do better or elevate your playing level..the need to read Randall Cobbs tweets for a champion mentality…. #5 awesome response
November 9th, 2012 at 11:27 am
7. Could you be anymore offensive? Maybe one day your child will be born with a mental or physical handicap and you’ll find out how hurtful or insensitive that last sentence was. I know you are trying to be funny but obviously that skill escapes you, so give it up.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:29 am
30, good point. I just briefly read these comments and that one was out of line.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:30 am
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
November 9th, 2012 at 11:30 am
LMAO positive reinforcement maybe?
November 9th, 2012 at 11:30 am
This is sad… IU is so desperate to recapture the magic of the 80s… Silly to get a ring for that, but then again, UK football players got rings for the BBVA Compass Bowl… Which was more shameful than this!
November 9th, 2012 at 11:32 am
So not only did Kentucky get national championship rings, we also got a shout out on these dumb sweet 16 rings? Gross
November 9th, 2012 at 11:33 am
#7 I don’t usually call assholes out (what’s the point) but someone needs to straighten you out in painful way with your Special Olympics comment. Wow, you’re a piece of work.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:34 am
34-You’re trying to compare UK football with IU basketball? At least have a cup of coffee before you roll out of bed and start posting comments.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:34 am
Maybe we should calm down about this. Don’t forget that 20 years ago we hung player banners in Rupp after losing to Duke. Similar emergence from NCAA circumstances.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:36 am
And, Loserville hands out rings for first round loss accomplishment! Guess IU has a I need to be recognized symdrome.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:45 am
if you can’t win a ring, just make your own
November 9th, 2012 at 11:48 am
38–not similar. those banners were hung because those players stuck with UK thru the dark years, not because of the dook game. get s**t right hoosher
November 9th, 2012 at 11:52 am
Wish they would have done something charitable with the money they spent on rings. Maybe they could have had a telethon for Hurricane Sandy victims?
November 9th, 2012 at 11:52 am
IU is supposed to be one of the top programs? They need to act like one!
November 9th, 2012 at 11:57 am
I agree that this did not need to be done but what a comment by # 7. You are a complete idiot.
November 9th, 2012 at 11:59 am
#7, as the father of a special needs child, i sincerely, honestly hope you burn in hell you little shit. STFU
November 9th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
#7 I got it and it was FUNNY!!! Too many people are too easily offended! It’s a joke and appropriate when applied to IU!
November 9th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I guess this means they will get Preseason National Champion Rings as well!!
November 9th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
When you do this, you know it has been a while between rings.
November 9th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Wow #7, maybe you could spend the day feeding, changing clothes, and wiping the as#$# of the retards you talk about. You will not get a ring or banner for that. Next time you at Rupp maybe you can come and sit in the handicap section and help us out and I will give you one of those medals.
Sorry everyone but I could not let that go. GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
I love the fact that they listed beating #1 #2 #5. Actually the ring looks like it may have been made from plastic. I hear you #7
November 9th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
#7 you have serious issues. I hope you are a UofL fan trolling.
November 9th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
@ #47, LMAO!
November 9th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
How long before they hit ebay
November 9th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
This is not the IU i know. Did the get rings making the bus ride too? Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND # 7 YOUR A REAL DICK!! AND # 46 there are better things to joke about than children with special needs. Go work with a special needs school and you will change your mind on how hard they work. Oh, by the way they LOVE everyone they meet without question because they don’t know hate.
November 9th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
I agree with #36 and #45. #7 ought to be shot!!!!
November 9th, 2012 at 12:48 pm
Maybe I should send one of those to Mitt Romney…
November 9th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
Next thing you will know that they have started handing out rings for finishing last. The more you KNOW message from NBC!!
November 9th, 2012 at 12:58 pm
wow…………It’s not where you start it is where you end! I guess Crean gets a trophy when he takes a —-! lmao
November 9th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I wonder if WKU made rings making it to the sweet 16! lol At least they’re not going to be passing it out to non players
November 9th, 2012 at 1:06 pm
#7 — Karma is a real bitch. You will get what’s coming to you for thinking like that and then writing about it. Someone please take down that comment. It is truly despicable.
To everyone really mad about that, don’t worry so much about it. Most people don’t think like that. More than likely, he’s just a kid writing that. Sometimes, you never know what those immature teenagers are going to say.
November 9th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
#7- Deer season opens up tomorrow, I recommend you dress up like a white tail and show up in my Greenup Co. field…
November 9th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
Who cares that they got a Sweet 16 ring? It is something to be proud of for most programs. UK is on another level and our standards are a bit higher but we can’t expect the same for others.
November 9th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
They can’t be serious.
November 9th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
What’s with all the complaints about the lack of Petrino news? Do you want them to just make something up? This is a site that even posts rumors, if something comes up they will post it.
November 9th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
This is exactly what is wrong with this generation of athletes. We as a society have to stop giving “participation awards” for everything.
November 9th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Hey everyone! #7′s comment was from a Louisville fan trolling.
Some idiot Louisville fan tweeted out he did that!
November 9th, 2012 at 1:39 pm
Do you suppose Crean gave a ring to HooHoo and the Truth? Or maybe someone he had been thinking a lot about?
November 9th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
We fire coaches for this level of achievement.
November 9th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Yeah, I don’t get #7 at all. But what’s really infuriating is they let that comment stay on the site. I’ve “said” much less inflammatory stuff than that and had my comments yanked from the site. What gives KSR?
November 9th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Kentucky lost to Duke that year on a miracle last second shot in what has widely been described as the all time greatest college basketball game in history. Their team largely consisted of former walk-ons. The significance of the game was greater too – the opportunity to knock off the defending national champs and go to the Final Four, in the first year after probation ended. IU had been off probation for several years, and did not get close to defeating UK. Completely different!
November 9th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
RE #7: I think God puts people with disabilities on this earth as a test for the rest of us, to see how we will treat those less fortunate. This quickly culls out the real pricks from the crowd, so that He can smote them down later.
November 9th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
wow did anyone zoom in and the the wildcat logo ?in the middle of the #1 and #2?
November 9th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Why would you wear it?
Its not 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.
Its not a WIN, PLACE, or SHOW.
Its not a GOLD, BRONZE, or SILVER.
Its a sweet 16 achievement ring.
By providing a ring for reaching the sweet 16 diminishes the eager want of a championship ring.
May it be a curse, a weakness, a pox on their house that this season, if not forever, precludes WINNING and continues to define the red & ‘whine’ as LOSERS!
November 9th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
We poop ice cream rings
November 9th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
Did DRAKE get one?
November 9th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
If they give out sweet sixteen rings then UK must have rooms full of them! Lets give rings out to the people that lost cause they tried! IU cant call Kentucky people dumb anymore cause this is plan stupid!
GO CATS!!!
November 9th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Soon it’ll come out that Tom Crean violated NCAA rules by giving recruits rings that say “I’ve been thinking about you a lot. A WHOLE LOT!”
November 9th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Where are all the PEEGS idiots over here defending this?
November 9th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Question: How did IU not pick up the Wofford player named Indiana Faithfull?
November 9th, 2012 at 8:02 pm
Thanks for deleting my last post KSR. This wasn’t even reported by IU fan sites; only here. That’s because you know that your retarded fan base will comment on anything IU related. It’s the definition of obsessed.
November 10th, 2012 at 11:54 am
Why dont you post a pic of the 2010 Elite 8 ring UK gave out.
November 12th, 2012 at 2:05 am
#80 Kentucky fans arent on IU sites because we dont care about them so why are you on a Kentucky site? Obsessed? i think the one trolling another teams site would fit that description. If i want ugly, pale women ill go to indiana, if i want championship basketball news ill go to a Kentucky site.
