He once borrowed Billy Joe Hobert’s Rose Bowl ring. Now UW long snapper A.J. Carty wants one of his own

We’ll get to the discussion about the algorithm A.J. Carty helped create to improve the nutritional intake for his teammates on the Washington football team.

But first, a little story about a Rose Bowl ring.

The ring belongs to Billy Joe Hobert, the Washington quarterback who was the co-MVP (with Steve Emtman) of the Huskies’ 34-14 triumph over Michigan in the 1992 Rose Bowl. That win, of course, secured for Washington a share of the 1991 national championship.

The ring right now, on a Friday morning four days before Christmas, is sitting in the center consolte of a Dodge Ram 1500 on Interstate 5 somewhere near Sacramento.
