doesn't have any respect for late night Michigan Basketball games....and also is staying home today because his school is closed. We are going to have an epic nap later!
in case anyone really cares. I've known Butch since high school, he was our quarterback when I was in 7th or 8th grade. Very small town where everyone knows everyone on the shores of Lake Michigan. He was recently seen back at home in Michigan, visiting family. He stopped by a local shop owned by one of my best friends, and said he wasn't looking to coach at all this season, and will wait until another opportunity comes along. All jokes aside, he really is a decent guy, just couldn't coach in the Big Time....
Glad to hear some other people have registered and are willing, just no match for the little guy.... I've been on for years as well, but no match. That was just a quick DNA swab.
I couldn't wait to get tickets to basketball. Granted, it was the Fab Five era (at least 4 of them, as my freshman year was right after Webber left for the NBA and the fifth starter was Dugan Fife...) and they actually had to split seasons for the freshman, so I only got half of that season. Additionally, they had a first come, first serve policy for students. If you got there early as a student, you got closer to the floor. My favorite memory of that year was camping outside of Crysler the night before a Saturday noon tip with Duke (Chris Collins has always been an asshat). My senior year, they switched to assigned seats based on the length of time you purchased tickets, and one person in my group caused up to be in the upper bowl, so we dumped more tickets that I care to remember. I like Brian's idea of a points system for the students, but they should also extend the student's section all around the lower bowl. The upper bowl seats toward the front are still great, IIRC.
So I have spent my career in the law defending people accused of crimes, most recently those accused of things similar to Nasser. I have also been standing next to those defendants when lengthy prison sentences are handed out. Generally what happens next is the following:
1. He will be placed on suicide watch based on the length of the sentence. Where I practice, anything over 20 years gets you at least one night of 1 to 1 observation.
2. Prisons do typically have segregation units for people with these types of charges, but surprisingly there is also a hierarchy of sex offenders (those who abuse adults are higher up the chain than those who abuse children) so his safety would not be gaurenteed even in that pod.
3. The sentence imposed in State court will run consecutive to the federal charges, meaning at a minimum he would serve 100 years minus the year time served and whatever "good behavior" time he is granted. That amount is determined by the jurisdiction (federal time determined by federal department of corrections, state time by state)
4. Judges are usually way more angry and verbose than this one was, given the amount of things she heard. Having practiced in criminal courts for 15 years, she seems like a tame judge compared to some I have run accross.
5. The letter Nasser sent to the Judge sounds an awful lot like the ones I have seen over the years, where they do more harm than good.
Also, shout out to the defense attorneys who had to sit there and hear all of those statements and still show no emotion. They were true professionals and should be acknowledged as such. The fact that there were people threatening them is terrible. I sympathize with them. They were upholding one of my personal beliefs that everyone, EVERYONE, deserves a voice in the process...Even those who commit crimes.
