Somebody had to burn those kids alive.
90% of our NIL money cannot make a damn layup. This is so damn frustrating to watch when the two guys we put everything into from a money perspective just shite the bed at home over and over again. At least Pettiford is putting forth a solid effort defensively despite the offensive struggles. Hall is just a steaming pile of crap tonight to the point it almost looks intentional.

Cannot believe Pearl did not intentionally get a T and stand up for his guys tonight. Instead, he benched Hall and stood around with his arms crossed for the final 10 minutes.

Got a tech and Pearl benched him.
Have a men's golf national championship, SEC basketball title, and a final 4 within the last 2 years. What does bama have?
This game was lost the last 2 minutes of the first half when the defense fell apart and gave up 3 easy open look 3's. Just an awful giveaway of a game.
So tired of Pettiford's bad decisions.
It depends on the PE firm. If it is one like KKR, you're likely screwed. We got bought by one out of France in 2015 and when sold to a corporation 3 years later most of us netted a pretty good payday. Of course the size of it depended on how much of your personal money you invested after the PE acquisition. I have always preferred working for private over corporations but if you are up for sale due to funds being tight and unable to do capital projects that is the one positive of getting bought by a large corporation. The negative is all the focus on DEI and ESG scores that in the long term damage performance and cause the good people to leave.

Duke did neither of those.
Bought $15k of NVIDIA several years ago at $9/share. Sold all but 10 shares of it at 300% gain to help with an all cash condo purchase in Florida that we use 3 months a year. Would be worth $300,000 today and I wouldn't be spending $22,000/year on taxes and HOA fees had we just walked away. I could rent the nicest unit in the complex every year for 3 months for around $18k. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
One of my kids has OCD which was extremely severe from 7th - 10th grade. He was put on a plan by the school (they called us in to discuss) that allowed him extra time to take the ACT which resulted in him scoring a 34 and getting a full tuition scholarship offer from AU. Turned it down, went to Samford on a much smaller scholarship, and never tried to gain an advantage by claiming a disability in college. Will be a pharmacist in May and has his job secured but said it would have been much easier had he used the disability claim like a lot of his class has done with stuff that is not legit. Also admitted he would not know as much or be as well prepared had he taken the easy route. Fortunately, he is not competing for a residency where a 4.0 gpa is necessary to even be considered which is what he says drives a lot of the kids to make the claim to get extra test time.
Unfortunately, we are not ranked and do not match up well with them. I expect them to hit open 3's all game if AU tries to defend them like they did UF. Too may holes on our squad to be talking crap about another one.

Looks like this one is over. Wasted opportunity.
Every time we have a shot to grab control we melt. Bad Pett and Hall missing everything (until that 3) is killing us. Would be huge to steal one but I just don't see it happening unless Hall goes off the final 4 minutes.

Pett is just awful sometimes. The last 2 minutes we went from possible lead to down 10 due to wide open misses by him. That foul call was BS though.
The real job in that whole thing was that the ball never hit the rim on the free throw attempt. We should have had 2.4 seconds but it took a complete self implosion by AU to even be in that situation in a game they were in control of most of the way.
Would have been tied for first with wins over 3 of the 4 others at 5 - 2 and no losses. That was massive change based on the blurry best photo available. Yes we gave it away in a 28 second span of complete ineptness to be in that position but AU should have easily won that game.
