        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.)
