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….
That’s so sweet. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
Perhaps you should give credit to where you saw this first on Twitter. Typical.
see name above
What’s next? “I did my best.” rings?
That cant be real is it?
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.
Let me fix that for you: #WeAreOnAMission
What color ribbon is for 16th place?
coming from where they had been, I think that was a nice gesture.
What…the…eff? IU writes their own jokes at this point. How pathetic!
@3 – Who pi$$ed in your Wheaties? The caption under the picture says it came from Instagram.
Wow, the standards of success have really fallen at IU huh? That suprised me, like I am not even joking, thats kinda messed up.
I thought Tennessee’s Elite Eight banner was pretty bad, but this is worse.
I gave a girl a promise ring once, but she still wouldn’t let me go all the way either.
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…….
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.
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
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.
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.
And they commemorate their win against us on it too! Rings for winning a regular season game! Almost as funny as 15.’s comment.
lol
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?”
Too bad it doesn’t have the final score on it as well.
GREAT EFFORT!!!
Watford’s ring has engraved inside the band, “I got lucky too.”
What? It didn’t mention their Espy?????
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.
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
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.
30, good point. I just briefly read these comments and that one was out of line.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LMAO positive reinforcement maybe?
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!
So not only did Kentucky get national championship rings, we also got a shout out on these dumb sweet 16 rings? Gross
#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.
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.
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.
And, Loserville hands out rings for first round loss accomplishment! Guess IU has a I need to be recognized symdrome.
if you can’t win a ring, just make your own
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
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?
IU is supposed to be one of the top programs? They need to act like one!
I agree that this did not need to be done but what a comment by # 7. You are a complete idiot.
#7, as the father of a special needs child, i sincerely, honestly hope you burn in hell you little shit. STFU
#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!
I guess this means they will get Preseason National Champion Rings as well!!
When you do this, you know it has been a while between rings.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
#7 you have serious issues. I hope you are a UofL fan trolling.
@ #47, LMAO!
How long before they hit ebay
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.
I agree with #36 and #45. #7 ought to be shot!!!!
Maybe I should send one of those to Mitt Romney…
Next thing you will know that they have started handing out rings for finishing last. The more you KNOW message from NBC!!
wow…………It’s not where you start it is where you end! I guess Crean gets a trophy when he takes a —-! lmao
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
#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.
#7- Deer season opens up tomorrow, I recommend you dress up like a white tail and show up in my Greenup Co. field…
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.
They can’t be serious.
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.
This is exactly what is wrong with this generation of athletes. We as a society have to stop giving “participation awards” for everything.
Hey everyone! #7’s comment was from a Louisville fan trolling.
Some idiot Louisville fan tweeted out he did that!
Do you suppose Crean gave a ring to HooHoo and the Truth? Or maybe someone he had been thinking a lot about?
We fire coaches for this level of achievement.
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?
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!
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.
wow did anyone zoom in and the the wildcat logo ?in the middle of the #1 and #2?
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!
We poop ice cream rings
Did DRAKE get one?
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!!!
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!”
Where are all the PEEGS idiots over here defending this?
Question: How did IU not pick up the Wofford player named Indiana Faithfull?
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.
Why dont you post a pic of the 2010 Elite 8 ring UK gave out.
#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.
