Let it ring

Ricky Williams and Cory Redding are the latest football players to receive their T-rings, a time-honored tradition for student-athletes at Texas.

Texas Athletic Director Mike Perrin arrived on the set of the Longhorn Network's GameDay show prior to the K-State game bearing gifts for two of the University's all-time greats.

Sitting between former Texas football stars Ricky Williams and Cory Redding, Perrin revealed a pair of small white boxes, handing one to each of them. The two men knew the contents before they even opened them.

Williams revealed a ring — a gold band with a topaz inset and white "T" — and broke into a wide grin, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye.
