This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

If you think of the Joyce Lot as divided into three sections E-W, with traffic able to get straight through the lot between them, the third of the lot closest to the Compton is definitely some sort of reserved parking. I can't recall ever getting an option to buy into that, which makes me think that it must be part of the O'Brien's Club STH package...but then again, it's not something I'd be terribly interested in, so maybe I just never noticed it as part of my "regular" STH invoice.
The extra couple minute walk means nothing to me. However, as I do enjoy my pregame beverage or two at The Backer, the only nice thing would be having a guaranteed spot so not having to get there really early on those rare games when MBB/WBB is also home. The walk from the Library Lot is not so fun.
