That looks like it was before they added the mailbox. Made it a little easier to hang on them when they didn't have it on.

Oh, and it was only tough to get around them if you were slow getting onto the bar (AKA, not a bar blocker). 330 forced them to play defense on the ground in Archimedes on at least one occasion.
