The Texas Longhorns ignited championship fervor on April 28 by unveiling their ornate Peach Bowl victory rings commemorating their historic 39-31 double-overtime win against Arizona State.
This game has already been etched in college football lore as one of the most dramatic playoff clashes ever, and the unveiling of these rings has fans buzzing about the upcoming season.
Texas’ official social media channels showcased the rings featuring dazzling jewel arrangements surrounding the Longhorns logo and Peach Bowl emblem, the engraved final score from the Jan. 1 thriller at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and a “Back-to-back CFP Semifinalist” inscription celebrating their consecutive playoff runs.
The rings were player-specific, with customization including Quinn Ewers’ name on select pieces.
The design commemorates Texas becoming the first program to win all six New Year’s Six Bowls, achieved through what coach Steve Sarkisian described as “March Madness-level emotional swings” during the nail-biting contest.

However, not everyone was impressed, with some critics dismissing them as “participation rings” and others sarcastically calling them “back-to-back ‘we almost won but came up short’ rings.”
The rings immortalize several key moments from the game, including Quinn Ewers’ miraculous 28-yard touchdown pass to Matthew Golden on 4th-and-13 that forced the second overtime, Gunnar Helm’s 25-yard overtime touchdown catch, and Andrew Mukuba’s game-ending interception.
After the game, Ewers reflected that the victory was “just a testament to how mature this team is,” particularly in surviving Cam Skattebo’s impressive 139-yard, 3-touchdown performance for Arizona State.
Championship Pedigree in the Details
The symbolism on these rings runs deep. Design motifs reference Texas’ 11 previous Cotton Bowl wins, while diamond clusters represent the two overtime periods needed to secure victory. The “39-31” score is permanently etched as a reminder of their survival in this thriller.
This hardware celebrates Texas’ impressive 13-2 season and their record 32nd bowl victory, while simultaneously serving as motivation for their 2025 title hunt.
