Francisco Franco Is Still Dead. Are Preston and De Sousa Still Not Cleared?
-
Question: if the car reputedly involved in the Preston issue were a late 2017 model and a new model year were to have since occurred, would depreciation have to be factored into decision making?
-
@jaybate-1.0 YES … De appreciation has to be factored into the equation !!
-
I have all my eggs in one basket today… having predicted by the end of today we would hear something about Silvio.
Hope I don’t have to clean up a basket of broken eggs…

I don’t believe you can use a depreciated value, you have to use the value of the benefit at the time of the infraction.

@JayHawkFanToo @Red-Rooster @jaybate-1-0
True story from my Army JAG days representing soldiers convicted in courts-martial around the world. One client was a PFC pleading guilty to a simple assault. In a guilty plea the Military Judge goes over all the elements of the offense, and the accused tells his story to ensure he actually is guilty. The MJ then explains what the possible punishments are.
MJ: Now, Private Jones, you understand this is a Special Court-Martial with power to impose, among other things, a bad-conduct discharge?
Jones: Yessir, I do.
MJ: Do you understand that one of those other things you can be sentenced to is a forfeiture of 2/3 pay and allowances for a period of 6 months?
Jones: Yessir, I do.
MJ: And you understand that you also face a period of confinement up to 6 months? Do you have an appreciation of that as well?
Jones: No, Sir, I don’t! I don’t appreciate that at all!

Some of my clients were literally barely competent to breathe. Back then 60 to 70 % of enlistees tested in the lowest acceptable quartile on entrance IQs (something like 75 to 85).

This was during war time then? Because that’s rough.
-
@BShark Not war time. The army was hurting for enlistees at the end of the 70’s, post-draft era, when no one wanted to volunteer to join an outfit where you might get sent to die, for the exciting pay of something like $450 per month (1979).

PHOF for the private!

Sources say that today is the day, and a decision could be coming at any minute.
Sources say tomorrow. And they’re great sources.

Time check. 9:16 pm. About 2 3/4 hours for the eggs to survive.

a reminder of how these work. The NCAA has all of the power.
“we don’t have to prove you are guilty, you have to prove you are not guilty”

It’s today.

So when was yesterday if it was today yesterday?
-
Today is the tomorrow that you dreamed of yesterday.
-
So…nightmares: memories or dread?
-
Probably all of the above?
-
Ok. Idk who Francisco Franco is. We got De Sousa! Bout freekin time. Thanks NCAA for sitting on that one as long as possible and even longer with Preston.
Off topic. @jaybate-1-0 I am waiting for you to post one of your WWI or II history stories mixed in with KU Basketball.

@Lulufulu Ah, youngster, you missed so much!

I’ve been trying it a different way this season. I have been interweaving the metaphor of Guadalcanal through intermittent references to The Canal in a succession of posts.
This regular season has so far been the six month campaign on Guadalcanal–trying to get ashore and fight without the necessary man power and with the needed reinforcements of the short handed team that is already ashore and trying to simultaneously hold Henderson Field and fight their way through tall grass and jungle with attrition of personnel. Think General Vandegrift trying to wage the first phase of a Soloman’s campaign with a skeleton crew green Marines and Army that can barely get resupplied because the troops and supplies keep being delayed off shore by the NCAA.
I have carried the metaphor up to the coming visit to Morgantown being this team’s apparently decisive Battle for the Tenaru River that culminated ultimately in hand to hand on a sand bar.
If the team were to prevail in this encounter with Huggins’ mashers, then the rest of the season looks like a Solomon Island Campaign island hopping up the slot to try to cut off Rabaul by taking both Bougaineville and New Britain and part of New Guinea, during the remainder of the front nine of the B12 campaign; then moving on to Tarawa, Guam/Saipan, for the Back Nine of the B12, then into post season Iwo and Okinawa, where the impossible will take a little longer.
Alas, if the team gets massacred on the Monogahela in Morgantown, then it maybe time to look for another metaphor.
