It looks like the tanned ones are adding some bling to their repertoire. Apparently each time one of their dead lift champions pins an opponent they get to adorn themselves with the “Pin Chain”. If they added a link to the chain each time Snyder pinned someone it would make a nice bracelet. On the other hand, Zain would look like Mr. T, and pity the fool who tries to deny him a link.
We don’t need no stinking chain

What I just added to my own 3" binder labeled solid bronze Intel - lacks originality.
Jason and Bo would never have problems driving in snow.
What happens when the tanners get pinned? Do they wear it backward?
Meh, it appears to be a way to motivate. Not our thing, though it is interesting. Can't imagine the wrestlers thinking "I gotta pin this guy and earn that darned pin chain". Knowing what I know about the subject, I don't see how it would motivate anyone.
They could stick Buckeye stickers to their headgear. You get a sticker and you get a sticker, and everyone gets a sticker.
Maybe a way to add a small sub-plot for fans to follow? An add-on during promos . . . Because, yeah, I don't see the actual wrestlers thinking much of it.
Is that all you've got? I mean, if you're going to troll over here, at least make it worth our while. That lacked originality, subtlety, punch and humor. 1-star, only because there's nothing lower on our scale.
I don't even register what is a pin chain. My eyes glaze over, and I picture middle-school sorority girls' adding friendship hearts to charm bracelets.
On Long Island in the 80s (and I imagine elsewhere but I can only speak to what I saw), certain schools' wrestlers would wear these oversized, almost novelty-sized, safety pins on their warm-up jackets for each pin they got. Sort of like Japanese flags on WW2 fighter planes for each kill. I liked the idea but my coach didn't.
They got the pin chain but ill take our guy Zain giving out the chin pain
Funny -- I had totally forgotten it, but our HS team did the same thing when I was a freshman, except with normal-sized safety pins. I was JV that year, so it didn't apply to me personally (probably why I forgot about it). We got new warmups the next year, though, and I think Coach didn't want us putting holes in them, so the practice ended. A few guys still put pins in their duffle bags, instead, but eventually we came to think it was kind of pompous. Especially considering we were from Maine.
Wish we had a pimp cane like the Aggies football player

Their Compliance Office came up with the idea. Hidden in plain sight is a 50oz. 24kt AU w/silverplate chain

"Pimp cane" is a fun term. As a kid, I enjoyed reading that Generals MacArthur and Patton each carried a "swagger stick."Wish we had a pimp cane like the Aggies football player

Of all our regulars, I see CropDuster as being able to pull off a pimp cane on the mat. The man handles himself with aplomb in hostile places like the Guillotine, so he’d be confident enough to pull off the cane and the strut
Crop is cool, but did you forget Goldbanger?

Better yet, we could just have Goldbanger strut alongside the lucky achiever as he leaves the mat and conducts his post-match cooldown.
I really enjoyed the big chain era. When white people like Tom Ryan adopt the chain, it's officially done.

Every suburban middle school sports team will be doing the same

Damn, you guys (Dogwelder, purescurve) beat me to it.
Japanese flags made sense because killing Japanese planes was the goal. Here, if the goal is winning NCAA championships, what the heck good is a pin chain?!? It's wasting one's attention on the wrong thing!
That gaudy chain makes so much more sense for Rutgers.

This one kid I train comes to my place to workout with my boys. Well he has a bag with a crap load of pins on the top of it. I never asked him or his dad what thats all about. Definitely curious to hear if its for the same thing.
Can you imagine me walking in with a blue and white pimp cane to a Gopher dual to sit next to the 75 year olds that thought Tony Nelson was fun to watch to watch wrestling?
You are absolutely right, LP. There's still students of mine (elementary) who dab, and I have to call em on it. Killed all the joy for the older kids last year, mid-hype (for suburban, white kids).
I hate that this is a craze, now, though. My idea for last year was to bring my love of pro wrestling in and create a Point Scorer's Championship Belt for my club guys. I would tally up total points at Freestyle tournaments, and the highest scorer gets to wear the belt to practice and the next weekend's tournament. I might still do it, but I need a metal-worker and some leather.
I am not sure how this would work at PSU. Zain or Mark pin a guy and no sooner they get it in their hand they have to hand it over to Nolf or Bo. .
I think there is more han one chain. Good lord it's come to this. Posting on the tanners bling
