Quote from: hawk on December 10, 2025, 03:45:42 PMI have to roll with DoctorV.  I think tis team is getting better bit by bit.  I think if Jones is healthy the rest of the season they have enought in place, that if somebody,anybody, gets 5points or 4stops or 4rebounds per game more going forward I thhink there is a chance to be decent by the end of the season.  The board is sort of tough on Parham but I think he's coming around.  I like Stevens getting more minutes and I can see Philips getting some time.  This team as it is has some pieces but notput together coreectly yet.  Gold holds back my optimism.  I have given up on him ever being more than he is.  The team needs some attitude. 

I'm glad you're rolling with me because I'm not quite sure I'm even still rolling with my prediction

This UW team isn't good. Shaka called Blackwell an NBA player after our game and he's now 1-8. I think maybe we just don't have a defense.

Everybody seems to have their best offensive night against us. Doesn't matter who it is.

Quote from: MuggsyB on December 10, 2025, 09:10:53 PMThe thought that Nebraska is vastly superior right now to MU is extremely upsetting.  Just sayin...

And playing much smarter - they're chasing  over screens to keep Blackwell from getting open looks. And they have beautiful ball movement on offense.

And there is absolutely zero excuses that we do not have players that can shoot at all.

Quote from: MU82 on December 10, 2025, 08:53:42 PMFrom The Athletic:

Indiana defensive lineman Stephen Daley will likely miss the College Football Playoff after appearing to suffer a freak leg injury in a postgame celebration Saturday night.

Following the Hoosiers' 13-10 win against top-ranked Ohio State to claim the Big Ten championship, Daley jumped to give high-fives with fans in the end zone at Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium. Daley came down wrong on his right leg and started to hop while continuing to slap hands.

"I can confirm that he did sustain an injury, (a) serious injury that will probably not make him available for the remainder of the season." Indiana coach Curt Cignetti told reporters on Wednesday afternoon.

Have we learned nothing from Martin Grammatica?

Quote from: GB Warrior on December 10, 2025, 06:58:03 PMI missed the part in which wages weren't incorporated in operating income.

Not sure what you mean by this. Explain further, please.

QuoteThis is largely disingenuous because it ignores the expenses associated with running a franchise that are and aren't avoidable...namely, you can avoid paying players, but there are some fixed or rigid costs that can't be and are largely uniform across franchises.

No doubt there are fixed costs that are the same/similar across the league. There are also costs that are going to fluctuate from market to market. Think taxes, facility costs, non-baseball employee wages, travel, etc. On that, I think we can agree running a multibillion dollar business in New York or Los Angeles is going to be much more costly than one in Milwaukee or St. Louis.
I bet a parking lot attendant at Dodgers Stadium makes a lot more than one at the Great American Ballpark. And the Mariners spend more on travel than the Guardians.

QuoteAlonso is going to be a good example of this as a contract that would destroy a team like the Brewers but be absorbable by wealthier franchises. I think it's a stupid contract for any team for what it's worth.

Wealthier franchises ... like the Orioles?
Orioles revenue: $338 million
Brewers revenue: $337 million
