Big changes in how UF basketball games are being done this year was
announced today. They're doing some kind of
weird reservation system, which I personally don't see the point of. There's never been a problem getting a student seat for
basketball games, people just waited in line to be the first 1,000 students to sit in the Rowdy Reptile section down by the
court. Out of the 16 or so home games last year, only about two were even sold out for the students. And if you want to
sit in the Rowdy Reptile section, you still have to wait in line, only this time they don't allow it for as long. Which will lead
to a crush of people standing on the street corner opposite the O'Dome waiting for 1 PM to hit so they can all run across
the street and get a place in line. On the other hand though, I know there were a lot of complaints from the dorms surrounding the
O'dome last year about how loud the line was (as people are up at all hours of the night), so I guess the new rules just
reflect that. The one thing they do need to fix is cutting in line, but this new plan doesn't solve that at all. At least I went
to at least eight games last year so I can "register" for the semester early. But I don't like the idea of being penalized for 3
home games if I can't make it, as sometimes things come up and you can't really help it if your grandfather died or something.
Anyways, Midnight Madness is this Friday
so I'm really looking forward to that.
Remember kids, Stop, Drop, and Roll
Mandrake 9.2 was released today. Unfortunately for me, at the
moment it's only via BitTorrent, which is banned in the UF dorms, so I can't get it. I really do hate DHNet.
I recommend K's Choice - The Paradise in Me. Muy good CD.
