  1. The capital stack for the new Moody Center has some interesting flexibility baked into it.  Aside from the heavily restricted gift by the Moody Foundation, there's an opportunity left in there for some of the liquidity from ubsub-debt to mezz to straight equity to free up a few million, still give those donors/investors their previously promised terms and cash out Shaka.  Since at this point, he's a straight liability to the opening of the facility...more than construction delays, cost overruns, or Covid.  

    Hopefully the prospect of an essentially empty new basketball stadium will get CDC and the big cigars to “find” some money to dump this loser.

  2. I do not understand how this kid is going to get drafted in the first round. Potential, my ass. He needs to work on ball handling, passing, shooting, holy fuck the only thing he doesn’t need to work on is jumping and being large.
    Teams want to draft a kid who won’t make a difference on their roster for at least three years? In the first round?
    I said it somewhere else but if this is what gets you drafted in the first round then it just reinforces what a shitty product the NBA has become.

    All good points but let me ask you - if the NBA is going to pay him any decent money at all, why on earth would he choose to spend another year at this dumpster fire of a program? Also remember that in the hands of an actual coach, he might be able to realize all that potential. Kids got a “high ceiling” so some NBA front office might think they can develop him.

    After the complete waste of this year, I have to wonder if he regrets coming here in the first place.

  3. Not giving up on the 1792 FP.  I drink everything neat so I’ll try again with some ice.   It’s just a little hot for my liking.  

    I’ve had the same experience. Left mine alone for a couple of months before trying again and to my surprise, it was quite good.

  4. You can be happy about the championship without losing a grip on reality

    This.

    Good for the team that’s had to persevere thru this COVID minefield season and won the conf tourney. But let’s not forget they barely avoided a third loss to a vastly less talented Tech team and finally had a little luck bounce their way in not having to play the best coach or the best team in the conference this year to do it.
