Who said Kager is better than Kon? I'm guessing he won't be nearly as good. That said, Kon is better than any MU player since Wade so his "not as good brother" could be a good player for MU.  MU needs some guys who know how to play. The team bball IQ currently is not great.

I also suspect that the Knueppels will not be the head cases that Joey Hauser was.

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 09:24:53 AMIt's fine. Donate to whatever organization you want to. No one cares.

I was mostly referring to your "why aren't they asking about their favorite class?" nonsense. The listener doesn't care. That's why.

...and why is that nonsense and why don't they care?

I was probably one of them!

Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 10:00:42 AMYou don't comprehend what #FTsNoMatta means. 

You were the one comparing FT% of Iowa and Michigan. I was just testing your apparent hypothesis that comparative FT% isn't relevant to deciding which team wins.

Some interesting data in The Athletic about how teams do when they pay their QBs huge money.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7091240/2026/03/06/seattle-seahawks-super-bowl-roster-blueprint/?

Contrary to popular belief, a highly paid franchise quarterback has not been the shortcut to team success. Of the 10 highest-paid QBs in 2025, five made the playoffs, and four were on teams that finished below .500. Tua Tagovailoa became the first $50 million quarterback to ever get benched for performance.

It wasn't a one-year blip. Taking the 10 highest-paid quarterbacks each season since 2011 — when salary structures changed with the rookie wage scale — 65 made the playoffs, while 62 finished under .500 and missed the postseason. Of those, 18 advanced to a conference championship game and nine made the Super Bowl, with four winners.

Now, compare that to QBs whose annual salaries ranked in the 11-20 range: 61 made the playoffs, while 66 finished under .500 and missed the postseason. Eighteen made a conference title game, with nine advancing to the Super Bowl and six winning it.

My bad, got up my own ass and read all of that wrong.

Quote from: Zog from Margo on Today at 10:21:52 AMI have no idea how tall he is other than he's at least a couple inches taller than Kon.

I don't think anyone predicted how good Kon would be. The hoops IQ for this family is off the charts. It'll be interesting to see if any team stays within 20 of WLHS in the State tournament.

Joey was supposed to be better than Sam.

Quote from: Hards Alumni on Today at 10:09:47 AMonce again, that isn't how this works.

In 2014 they were still saying that. Between that, the treatment of McAdams, or the treatment of Jodi O'Brien people came up with all sorts of ridiculous reasons.

I'm actually surprised they still call for donations. Many schools shut those programs down years ago. No one answers their phone!
