(Note that I owe Stu for the fine phrase "irrelevant noise." Stu is one of various people I'd like to chat with at half-time, because he knows so much more about basketball than I do, except that we have to scream in each other's ears.)

I just sent a polite but pointed e-mail to Josh Hummel (Senior Associate Athletics Director, Facilities, Events & Capital Projects, I'll have you know) and three other facilities management types, in which I complain about the damned noise in Haas. I included the fact that my husband wears hearing aids, which he has to remove at Haas; even then, it's too loud. The loudest noise in Haas should be our vocal support for WBB.

I encourage others to write:

Thanks! I should mention that "irrelevant" was not the first adjective that came to mind, but using terms which more accurately describe my feelings could get me banned from BI.

Can't be worse than the adjectives expressed by some of us. And "fin" is a perfectly genteel expression.
