Lame, BostonRam. Look, if my team won the World Series as a wild card, I'd be happy. But I wouldn't go taunting fans of the team that performed better over a 162-game season. If you want to call it a "championship season," go ahead. You won the World Series. That makes you "World Series Champions." But you didn't win it all. Yankee fans have higher expectations, though. We like to win it all. That's what we mean by a "championship season" -- a champion in every conceivable way. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: BostonRam 's message, "Once again, JJ, interesting logic. I think the the term "championship season" rightfully belongs to the team that indeed won said championship. We need not bicker that the Red Sox are in fact the 2004 World Series Champs now. Are you sure you didn't go to Hofstra?" on Mon April 18, 2005 12:40:37

BTW, BR, when your team does "win it all" and achieves a "championship season" by being a "champion in every conceivable way," there is such an immense satisfaction in the accomplishment, that you don't feel the need to emphasize that your championship came at someone else's expense. I know you'll have to trust me on this one. ;) (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Mon April 18, 2005 13:31:42
