UCLA coach Jim Mora announced he and his wife, Shannon, are separating after more than 30 years of marriage. Here’s a statement from his agent, Jimmy Sexton, who also represents Clay Helton and Lane Kiffin.
“After much thought and careful consideration, Jim and Shannon Mora have decided to separate. This was a very difficult decision and they appreciate the respect for their family’s privacy at this time.”
is this how YOU respect their privacy, wolfman??
i’m not sure if you are getting in invite out our Season Finale GOT party on Sunday….right now i’d say it’s 50/50.
#StandDownSuperScooper
I can only imagine a GOT party at Bucket’s.
[SHUDDERS]
The horror . . . the horror . . .
we’re wearing costumes….at least until the show’s over….
#AnythingGoes
I am assuming you are cosplaying Khalessi.
Actually . . . I see you more as Ceresi.
Yeah, I see Scott more of a Khalessi roleplayer. Wearing a long blonde wig. And riding boots.
more like Hodor
i see you noticed wolfman’s “hold the door” comment during the Q&A…
#AstuteObserver
I see all. I observe from the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to pounce.
Hodor is off limits!
#RIPHodor
sorry….what happens in these parties STAYS in there.
frankly, it’s too shocking to discuss.
#TotallyOMG
No uncensored videos coming out on the market this year?
What are you and bucket’s plans for this evening? There will totally be a nice sunset this evening, and it will be a romantic evening for everyone.
XtraStupid32 is back along with CowPolyFan3.0!
Death threats!
You must have mixed up with someone else, Scott.
Oh my.
#blushing
Sweet having that clown blocked.
#ChickenSwitch
russoviet is so drunk he thinks blocking people from reading his drunken rants is punishment.
it’s always the big mouths who end up being revealed as the thin-skinned ones.
#TrumpSyndrome
Well now the ‘news’ shifts’ to the Moras.
Shannon just couldn’t take any more apologetic face cuppings.
Lol
Puts Mora in the same class as Kiffen and Sark.
That’s usually the ’cause’.
He’s a drunk too?
Mora’s wife grew to hate him even though he’s sober. The guy’s such an obvious a-hole.
Something we don’t agree on.
That’s really pretty unusual. Crappy marriages for all those Los Angeles coaches. Seems like you’d have to be a saint, and a perfect one at that, to be married to a college or pro football coach. Not sure how these football widows stick it out.
Something we can both agree on.
Or are these Coaches gravitating to all the tail at USC and UCLA?
That’s the reality on any college campus and always has been.
How’s that?, Mora hasn’t been fired by UCLA and relocated with about $15 bozo u millions and relocated to Alabama or forced to participate in a 45 day dry out session at the B. Ford Clinic.
I mean Commie SUCC unloads his wife, an empty bottle(s) of Ripple a daily – no biggie.
#bolsaMr.SUCC
Your right. Not the same class. Kiffin and Sark at least beat Stanford and Oregon.
OUCH!
True but he hasn’t lost to Boston College after leading 21 – 12 in the 2nd qtr. .
#Remember the BC Massacre.
His daughter is a Trojan. Just saying. Was that a big FU to daddy?
i’d say so. every spare moment, i bet he thinks about all of that $$$ he is pissing away on mediocre education.
Blocked jackass
Wait, you are rewarding him for that epic smack down on sas.
so no christmas card from you this year?
i’m devastated.
Ouch.
You too Sam, really?
You’re right bro. Safer in Westwood drives up my blood pressure. My apologies pal.
Yeah, the screen name says it all, I get it. It’s been a while, How’s Vegas? I’ll be out there for the first Saturday of the season.
I don’t live in Vegas. I believe Michael Gaurino or Ray does. But I’m bud. Thanks for asking. How you doing in NY?
My bad. Just got back to NYC, I’ve been dealing with Brexit in London this week, so I have some sleep to catch up on.
Hope that works out. Be cool!
You too.
Gosh Mr. Greenspan, so you’ve been dealing with Brexit. Was the game afoot?
I’m hoping you were long in Pounds.
Please don’t tell us you and Mushy, Mushy dined late at a very private table for 6 at the Club.
You’re a clown.
Much, if I don’t mind me asking, what kind of work are you in?
Private Equity.
Thank you. Also, you have always been kind to me and I thank you for that. I try to reciprocate with u as well
It’s all in good fun.
With u it is fun and respect for you. Others who come on I here not so much due to them looking for trouble
I don’t disagree with that.
Do you work for a private person or a business?
That’s a little more tricky to answer: we are a private partnership, similar to a law firm, but we raise capital from our limited partners (LPs) (pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, high net worth individuals, etc.) and without that capital we wouldn’t exist as a company. We usually charge are LPs a 2% management fee depending on the check size and then we take 20% of the profits from our investments once we clear a certain hurdle (between 8-10% annually depending on the fund). I hope that answers your question.
Yes you answered my question. Thank you. With this situation u have to be more astute to the market since your exposure and liability are larger than a regular trading house. Be careful. Reward is higher but liability is worse for u
Yes and no, a hedge fund has the same business structure we do, but a different investment strategy. They invest in public equities which has daily volatility. The companies we own are all private and we hold them for between 5-7 years, so daily exposure isn’t as big a factor for us as long term macro trends are.
Let me ask you another question, do you like REITS? I have shares with Annaly, NLY, and the yield is strong.
I think they are great cash flow vehicles and far less volatile than other 40 Act companies like BDC’s, imho they sit at the nexus between equites and fixed income. They rarely outperform the broader market, but they are also relatively insulated from daily volatility, although not as safe as a state or municipal bond, which I love since they’re tax free. With all that being said, I wouldnt claim to be expert on the subject.
I like the one I have. It stays with in a $1.50 range and sells around $10.50 a share. U can buy a lot at that price. I lucked into this one. I’m not that strong dealing with the stock market.
I’d look into REITs that invest heavily in retail and cold storage. A big but still long term trend effecting a lot of retailers is that consumers are just as likely to shop online as they are in the store, which is going to eventually catchup to the commercial space. But companies will still need storage facilities for their inventory. I think cold storage is pretty interesting because it’s a supply chain necessity for parishable goods and no matter the economic climate we still need to eat.
I believe the one I have invests into apts with tenancy. That is a necessity. However, maintenance is higher with tenancy compared to storage. The nice thing about REITS is that they have to pay 90% of the profit to share holders
He’s much worst that that but regardless that’s why we all blocked him.
“You’re a clown.” That’s it, from heap big financial wiz. You were long in Pounds in weren’t you? Way to go Greenspan.
My problem is you, the”Ugly American,” bragging about dealing (or saving the empire?) with Brexit, but still having time to post on a bozo u blog – you’re quite the multitasker.
D. Cameron, I’m sure, has you on speed dial.
NYC you’re a discredit to UCLA. It seems you have your finger on the pulse of UK failure.
Sure, whatever you say.
Not much left after the bozo u blog sales pitch?
Hey Greenspan how many times a week do you use the noun “Nexus.”?
You must have been North Campus.
That gives me an excuse, what’s yours?
Perfect response. Not much more needed. And think about this, he’s trolling another Bruin fan on a Trojan blog.
Yes, I live in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas.
Sorry Ray, wasn’t trying to tell your buisness.
No problem
CowPolyFan3.0 lives in Vegas.
Interesting to see what happens to their ‘ Count On Me’ foundation and that ‘Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament’ at Riviera CC.
Surprise surprise – nothing on the inside socal dot forward ucla site.
A pure ‘homer’ site.
No, Thuc has plans on Friday nights in June, SW doesn’t.
Thuc seems to have plans every night.
They ask for privacy and you post for dialogue..lol #facecupU
Due Respect…
The story is his wife got tired of the face cupping and painting. Plus she stated she wants a husband that can win a big game.
#neverwonanything
Unbelieveable, 90 SW posts on the Mora’s pending divorce topic.LOL.
I know bozo fans, you’re tired of whining about your crummy FB team.
So can we use that same logic about the amount of post you make about USC teams? I would say your 500 Bozo references speak to the kind of year UCLA is having.
#itsallaboutthesoftball
I sure love the block feature..lol
Yeah, Bucket Owns, the bozo u chick are cranking: Beach Blanket Bingo, sandbox, Wallyball NC’s. Hot Box burritos on the house. Snore.
Now remind me BOT, what big boy sport 2016 NC has the bozo u manly men won?
Well if we are measuring by NC guess that leaves you football team in a hot mess.
#neverwonanything
Hey Manny, you’re not going to tell me that you’re a little worked up, are you?
Question to the class – Just how far will Papadakis go on Monday? I’m betting he says little to nothing and shows what a gutless clown he is.
What’s there to say, people get divorced. It doesn’t sound like domestic abuse or infidelity. How does that make for interesting radio, honest question?
Believe me if this were anyone at USC Papadakis would have a field day –
How far do you go in bad mouthing your boss at work? Yes, it’s annoying to hear them ball wash Mora, but you can’t knock a guy for trying to keep his job.
Let’s say te issue wasn’t Mora’s marriage rather something akin to what Haden has done i.e. PMS is just as CNN and MSNBC are – if a fact is thrown at ‘la bruja’ igdore it.
He’ll say nothing, unless she’s dating a Trojan.
If the divorce becomes contentious, I’m betting Mora looks to jump ship, preferably to the NFL as a HC if a job opens up. Gotta pay the lawyers and Shannon for all the money she’s gonna try to take him for. His current UCLA salary won’t be nearly enough to cover the tab.
Getting a divorce is not merely getting a piece of paper that says so. Ask any guy who has ever gone through a divorce. You really can get taken to the cleaners.
Yeah, $3.8mm annually won’t do it….
A higher salary doesn’t make a divorce easier to settle. They usually make it more heated and volatile.
The key thing is how “contentious” the divorce turns out to be.
If Shannon is the woman scorned, well then “Hell hath no fury…”
What ship have you having Mora Jump? bozo u fans chug a glass of wine and start hallucinating about Mora jumping to the NFL.
Since Mora has been the HC bozo u has blown through 5 HFBC’s. Helton alone has been a interim HC twice before “St Pat” took a LOA from his Scholastic Foundation gig. and anointed Helton the real HC.
That’s a nice game plan but he can’t leave before this December and that means he has to do better than he has the last two years.
I wonder who gets that fantastic Manhattan Beach, house ?
Pat Haden thinks he should get it.
#GreedyGnome
Only if there are NO taxes.
yes he is looking for a house to keep his staff in
yeah i’m surprised he doesn’t use those poor school kids as his personal valets.
#ModernDayScrooge
Is there a pattern here with Manhattan Beach being toxic to head coach’s marriages?
You can always spot a ‘male’ from there.; 5 10′ Long sleeve polo, non-descript baseball cap, sun glasses and a 3 day growth of beard driving the ‘de rigeur’ dark toned SUV.
Is that the home with the couch that Rosen visits?
A more reliable source says Mora was married in 1992, so that doesn’t =30 years.
It just felt like it?
So here I am honoring Mr. Mora’s privacy as requested.
It should be noted they are separated not divorced.
There probably isn’t a good reason for this, but I am sure there is a reason. I wish them both well.
It’s probably the same reason recruits don’t want to go to UCLA.
Would that be the baby blue? Which by the way I just noticed is the color of all the comment names here.
Why is my name bruin blue ???
Their new jerseys are darker blue.
Not unusual at all in todays throwaway society.
How about an 8 clap for Jim
That may have been what she got from Mr. Mora.
No doubt you’re an expert patient.
That is too bad. I hope and pray they can resolve their differences.
As a human, I wish him well. Divorces are tough. I’ve been through two myself.
