Now that I am a member of a church that is directly across the street from a major university, it behooves me to familiarize myself with the sports schedule of said university. Even basketball, a sport I have never much been interested in.

I was at the church for something yesterday afternoon, and there was another basketball game, creating more congestion around campus. I only got a spot in the lot (WITH my borrowed church parking permit) because someone had coned off the staff spots and I removed a cone and parked in one. The rest was occupied by basketball fans (at the $10 Event Parking tariff). The student helpers must have had a bear of a time (all puns fully intended) finding some place to park; must have been a hike in the rain. Blergh.
