I think this ring comment really tells us a lot about Cruz, in that it exposes him as a guy who doesn't have any "guy" friends. Think about it, even if Cruz was considered to be the idiot among his group of buddies who occasionally get together for a beer and some hoops action on TV, the "ring" comment could have never happened. I think the obvious explanation is that Cruz is a loner, nerd with no friends..... Makes me nervous....
