The unmatched excitement and thrill of winning the Championship will remain forever in my memory: the roar of the crowd, the ticker tape, the feeling of elation. BUT, there is an equal, if more sublime joy that remains--and can't be replaced--from the day four brave women made the team now and for always OUR team, not the little-sister toy of some rich playboy. <br/>I pray not to be forced to choose between the two events...because, a major satisfaction of keeping the team here is anticipating many more of the Championship thrills!

One of the better days in recent history. I remember reading the news and being overjoyed that Force 10 had stepped up to save the Storm, glad that Clay Clay agreed to the sale rather than fold the team, and immensely proud of the fans whose passion for the Storm was instrumental in Force 10's decision to pursue the purchase. 01/08/08?
