Is there a "standard" for people that dunk their rings when they announce it "I dunked mine in X# of seconds"?

I dunked mine in a pitcher of Budweiser at a table in the Dixie Chicken many moons ago. 47 seconds (which put me in 3rd place out of 3 guys I did it with) At that time everyone that I knew that dunked their rings in a pitcher in the Chicken. Then I heard that they changed the rule so you couldn't do that anymore. My brother dunked his in a pitcher at our tailgate party a couple of years ago. I see kids doing theirs behind Northgate now.

But I see some people dunking theirs in a schooner and some in glass mugs and I've seen girls dunking it in rum drinks. My question is, do people make adjustments for the quantity of alcohol they are drinking? If they drink a schooner, do they doubletheir time to get their official time? I understand that not everyone is able to drink that much at one time or I guess some people are just afraid that they will get an embarassing score if they have to drink a whole pitcher of beer. I just think it is dumb to claim that "I dunked it in 17 seconds in a 14 oz. cup of flat Diet Coke." Good for you. Do you wnt a lolly pop?

Speaking of lolly pops, I think it would be neat if rings came in the middle of a maroon lolly pop and you had to lick it out of there.

my roommate's girlfriend did it in 24 seconds which i thought was really fast. if i'm done in under a minute i'll be happy.

37 minutes for me

I dont think anyone who doesn't dunk their ring in a pitcher of beer would ever say the seconds. I dunked mine (took forever) but I don't know anyone who dunked their's in shots, rum, ice cream, etc who says seconds.

You are only red-ass if you piss in the pitcher prior to dunking your ring.

You're really red-ass if you vomit into your pitcher while dunking it and continue on.

I dunked my ring two different times!

First, I used an authentic A&M helmet - I just filled it with beer and dropped in the ring. 94 seconds, but I got some on my overalls! Haha!

Second time I used a senior corps boot.....95 seconds!

15 + minutes...in a pitcher.

does it really matter how fast you can drink a pitcher of beer?? i did it and i dont remember how long it took, but i dont think you should take away from people who dont follow the dunking "tradition" just because they chose a different drink.

I did it in 79 seconds, which was nothing compaired to what went on that night at the table next to me. There was this little blonde girl in a wheelchair who probably weighed all of 95 lbs soaking wet! She had to have someone hold the pitcher to her lips (her mom I think), but by-golly she drank the whole thing. It took her maybe 3 minutes. By the end, there wasn't a dry eye in the entire Chicken. It really captured what it means to be an Aggie for me.

Took me a little over 4 minutes with a pitcher.
**GROSS STORY**
I threw up once or twice halfway through it (in another pitcher in my hand) By the time I was through, I had one empty pitcher, and another one 1/2 full of puke. Funny thing is though - The pitcher with puke looked JUST like beer, I had not eaten (on purpose) and you could not tell at all that it was throwup. I have pictures and people always ask why I was holding 2 pitchers of beer..

If this has been answered elsewhere, I apologize. I've always wondered when ring-dunking became common practice. I graduated in '82 and I never saw it done. I worked at the Chicken from '80-'82, so I would think I would have seen it if it was done back then.

I also graduated in '82, and I wonder how this so-called 'tradition' got started.

Back in our day, when you got your ring, you got to whack underclassmen on the head with your ring. Sadly, kids nowadays think Whacking Day is a Simpsons episode.

That's why I never dunked my ring...I personally see no thrill in forcing a pitcher of beer down to only make myself sick.

I graduated in '89. We used to "christen" our rings, but a time factor was rarely mentioned. One guy in a history class told me his roommate was trying to christen his ring 89 times before he graduated. Not sure if he made it, but 89 pitchers is a lot of beer and, at $3/pitcher ('89 prices), a lot of money.

In grad school I heard stories about people trying to drink pitchers in '91 seconds and whatnot. I think it got started in the early-90's.

The real redass Aggies get their mom to hold the trashbag while they puke and get dad to video it. Nothing says "Gig 'em" like binge drinking in front of your parents and recording it for posterity.

A friend of mine dunked his in a pitcher in 8 seconds. It's on video tape, and everyone is trying to get him to send it to the Man Show. haha

MOM and DAD were there. Both were taking pictures and rooting for me. My daddy said he was so proud of me

MY Quaid,

I was there that night. That girl was my sister's roommate. Andrea Callaway. her doctors had advised her not to do it, but she wanted to prove that she was a real Aggie.

She also ended up getting drunk and peeing in her bed that night, but that's a story for another day.

Dunked it in 83 seconds (class of '98). I'm a little girl and out of the seven girls that dunked it together, I was the fastest. I made my parents sooo proud to have a lush for a daughter hehehe....

60 flat back in april. may dunk again tonight or this weekend just for the fun of it with my friends who are getting rings today.

was that legless chick hot?

She had legs, they just didn't work.

I did mine in 87 seconds. I didn't start drinking beer until like two weeks before. So I was pretty proud, my buddy did his in a pitcher of crown and coke. I think we wussed out.

did she get ****ty when she was drunk?

IMO, this new army binge drinking tradition sucks.

not really, but after she dunked her ring, I guess her parents went home and she stayed at NG with her friends, because like 2 hours later we saw her making out with another girl on the front porch of the Chicken. It was kinda weird seeing a handicapped girl make out with a regular girl.

That's just sick with her parents helping her and all. No wonder A&M is in such bad shape. Making up "traditions".

I call BS. I saw a guy dunk his ring at the Chicken in a pitcher that was half Shiner and half VO. I took him somthing like 20 minutes, but that's pretty freakin' red ass to me.

Try and make something idiot proof, and all they do is make a better idiot.

Do y'all actually put the ring in the pitcher? If so, have any of you ever swallowed the ring while chugging? Any record times for passing said ring?

I've never dunked mine. I only drink water and milk. Is that OK? I could get the Kool-aid pitcher out and dunk mine in front of the wife and kids tonight. That would be fun.
