If there's a limited amount of bulletin board space and someone's taking up more than their share for that sort of thing, I might be secretly cheering on the person posting the losing articles even if I knew and liked the kid in question.
(This from someone whose parents never bragged *that* overtly, but would proudly give info if anyone *asked* after one of us. And I'm still not sure how I feel about the whole "My kid is an honors student at school X" bumper sticker phenomenon - I think it's a little tacky to be running around town with that plastered to the back of a minivan.)

at least the dad wasn't bringing in the trophies to show them off, was he?
No trophies to show, he was just a member of a wrestling team. I was only doing it as a joke. They wrestle twice a week. When I noticed that the article stayed the same for a week I got some back issues and saw he lost. So the next time he lost, I waited a day then put up the new article. (I didn't remove the old article, in case the parent was saving them.) It was gone within an hour. I don't want to say it thrilled me, but I thought "A challenge!". I can't help it.
