Well, I agree with the first part. The "My team(or league) is better
than your's..." is stupid and has no place here. On the other hand, if
someone's favorite team has a title of some sort, I have no problem with
a little bragging at the end of the post. So for example, a recent post
bragged something to the effect that the Gopher's played clean hockey as
compared to other schools. That is bullsh**!!! However, I think that Gopher,
Maine, UMD fans or whatever should feel free to put a "199* whatever champs"
tag on their posts. After all, is anyone out there not proud when their
favorite school wins? I know I am.( By the way, I don't think that somnething
like "MAINE 1993 NCAA champions!" is offensive to anybody, however,
Something like "Maine: the BEST team in college hockey" is.)
