    B1G considering $2B private equity deal

    $2 Billion for a 5% share. If you assume a 9% cost of capital and a 4% growth rate, that values the B1G’s athletic departments at a total of $2B/(.09-.04). Or $2B/.05. Or $40 Billion dollars. Each school gives up 5% of what they would have otherwise received, in perpetuity, in exchange for a...

    Personal Finance: Financial Planning & Investing

    Following up on my post above on having Private Equity and other private investments in your 401k -- the primary criticism is that they're not as liquid as you might think. Additionally, investors don't have the same legal, regulatory, or financial reporting protections as they do in...

    Video: SEC Shorts - SEC Loss Claims Department...

    Agreed. And low-character guys didn’t magically become low-character with the offense that got them busted. They’ve been low-character since childhood, and there are dozens of things in their history that just didn’t become public. BTW, I’m guessing Mrs. Petrino made her peace with it long...

    If you thought Senator Tubby was bad…[Finebaum considering run]

    Whether you agree or disagree with Fxxxx, he doesn't live in North Carolina anymore. He moved to Mountain Brook (a burb of Birmingham) about a year ago. And yes, he really does live there.

    Pictorial Evidence of the Apparent Current Definition of Targeting

    I think we've arrived at the OP's point -- there is no definition of targeting.

    If you thought Senator Tubby was bad…[Finebaum considering run]

    Take a look at the alternatives. Political hack Steve Marshall is the most likely, along with another guy on Tuberville’s staff. Each of them will try to out-Trump the other. I actually think Fxxxxx would be better than either of those guys, and am 100% sure he’d be an upgrade from Tuberville.

    Personal Finance: Financial Planning & Investing

    With the end of the year — and attendant year-end tax planning — coming up, I thought I'd pass along something I found out in today's WSJ. If you’re over 50 and make over $145,000, this is the last year you can make pre-tax catch-up contributions to your Traditional 401K. Starting in 2026, you...

    Pictorial Evidence of the Apparent Current Definition of Targeting

    Also, targeting is one of the few penalties than can be called from "the room," even if it isn't called on the field. So missing the superman targeting call isn't the fault of only the refs on the field. The guys in Birmingham were playing Three Blind Mice too. (Side note for UGA fans: So...

    Pictorial Evidence of the Apparent Current Definition of Targeting

    Pictorial Evidence of the Apparent Current Definition of Targeting

    The biggest lesson was the answer to, “What is 2 + 2?” The correct answer being not 4, but another question: “Oh, I don’t know….what do you want it to be?”:unsure:

    Pictorial Evidence of the Apparent Current Definition of Targeting

    Not targeting, but take a look at the 4th down play where LT Overton tripped up the UGA RB. The RB clearly had a grip on Overton’s facemask. It should have been our ball 15 yards upfield. No way the call would have been missed if Overton had hold of the RB’s facemask. SEC refs, example...

    Pictorial Evidence of the Apparent Current Definition of Targeting

    Due to the speed of the game, I cut the on-field refs a bit of slack. They still should be better, but given how fast things happen, and with only a couple of tenths of a second to make a call, I get how they could miss some. But how the review crew so often gets it wrong and/or...

    Hmm... Do we now have a QB controversy?

    The media narrative on Ty has been a prime example of why I have no more faith in talking heads or ink-stained wretches that I do politicians. Actually, they have a lot in common. Wet their finger, put it in the air and go with the prevailing wind. Media generally do have a greater facility...

    Trump's Attack on the First Amendment

    BREAKING Mac Jones may start for 49'ers on Sunday

    There are worse things than being a career backup QB in the NFL. Multi-million dollars. You don't get your head beat in. No, you won't get to wear the gold jacket in Canton. But you make generational money and have the physical and mental ability to enjoy it. Pleeezzeee don't throw me in...

    What Are the Keys to the Game for an Alabama Win?

    I agree that the bolded part is accurate, and that Proctor has to have help. I just find it flabbergasting that a so-called top draft pick would need help that necessarily deletes a receiver from the pattern.

    Bruce Pearl to retire

    I didn't remember that, but you're right. Still, it's another example of an unsuccessful nepo hire. He was fired after three years, going 50-61 (.450) overall, and 16-42 (.276 -- ouch!) in the conference. I'm not aware of a son succeeding his father and the hire working out.

    CFN: Alabama vs Georgia Prediction: Can We Please Get Another Classic?

    We don't have to have a great running game, but we do need to make UGA at least respect the threat of the run. If we do that, we have a good chance. If we can't, we become one-dimensional and the chances of a win are greatly diminished. I do note that the betting line has gone down from 4 to...

    Link: Aubarn whines about "hideout" trick play to the SEC

    The barn got jobbed on the missed calls against OU, especially the deceptive non-substitution that led to a TD. If it had been us getting jobbed, we'd be raising Cain too. Still, Malzahn and Freeze based their whole offensive approach on making it hard for refs to enforce rules on...
