Mizzou Football Links

Sometime this afternoon, one of the bigger -- if not the biggest -- official visits in Missouri's history begins. Some believe Dorial Green-Beckham has already made up his mind regarding his school of choice (though they disagree as to which school that is), but to say the least, a great visit will go a long way. We'll see what happens; I'm sure we'll be getting to-the-minute updates and rumors on Twitter and at PowerMizzou...

2 prior dui's makes it a felony

but there are many loophole’s as to what constitutes a prior dui. So just because someone has been arrested and plead guilty to dwi twice before, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the court will look at the next one as his 3rd.

But a 3rd dui would be a D felony, up to 4 years in prison and/or a $1,000.00 fine to the court.
4th is a C, up to 7 years
5th is a B, 5 – 15
If the prosecutor gets really creative, they can generally make any B felony an A felony by proving the person up as a prior and persistent felon (as well as a chronic offender for DWI). That would be 10-30 years or life in prison.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jan 27, 2012 8:51 AM CST up reply actions  

well it depends on what you mean by "fixed"

Back in the day, you could get a DWI reduced to a Careless and Imprudent driving.
Watch groups like MADD have applied enough political pressure on elected prosecutors that it doesn’t happen very much.
1st time DWI is a B misdemeanor. That’s up to 6 months in jail (not prison) and up to a $500 fine.
An attorney can very likely make it so you don’t spend a day in jail and probably aren’t convicted of the DWI (though you would plead guilty).

So the question would be, is avoiding jail time and a conviction having it “fixed”?

Keep in mind that avoiding a conviction does not necessarily mean it can’t be used against you for your 2nd DWI.

In Kansas, an attorney can get you a diversion on a DUI.

Pretty much.

If you follow the narrative, you already think that Mizzou “finally” got involved in the DGB sweepstakes when Pinkel flew in on a helicopter. In reality, they have been in on DGB for approximately four years now. I don’t know if Mizzou is going to land him, but the narrative has been amazing.

by Bill C. on Jan 27, 2012 8:56 AM CST up reply actions  

Do you get the impression.

That because Pinkel runs a clean program and isn’t a media hound that the media in general downplay his ability to recruit.? Sometimes I get the feeling the media portrays Pinkel as the seal in swimming with the sharks when it comes to recruiting the higher profile athletes.

I think that's absolutely how it's portrayed.

And to an extent, I understand it. Mizzou doesn’t threaten to pull in Top 10 recruiting classes, and they don’t exactly land many five-star kids, so I understand why people would initially assume that someone like DGB might go elsewhere. But the fact that people have completely and totally ignored Mizzou’s presence in this race, even as it has continued through the fall and winter, has been fascinating.

That's what I thought

It makes sense, I mean if you can only afford to make one game this year(if that), it’s going to be a lot easier for our DC contingent to go to the other Columbia or Athens, for example. I don’t know if that contingent is big enough to really notice in attendance numbers, and like CBonerfied notes there will always be the “come home” allure of going to a game at Faurot, so it would think to be a minor/personal thing for those folks.

Well

I live in Maine, and am fortunate enough to be able to afford travel. For my money, the can;t miss game this year is Georgia at home — summertime weather in Columbia, SEC debut, major early season clash. etc. (Might also do the Bama game, sans family).

In future years, I think it will depend on the schedule. No way am I missing our first game at LSU - but that might be 10 years away. Ole Miss, too. But honestly neither the Swamp nor UT seems that fantastic to me, so it will just depend on how things break down. It’s hard to underestimate the comfort of return trips to Columbia.

i think it could affect me

we live in co and usually attend 1 game in como each year (2011 being the exception, we went to the one state bball game in j-town instead).

i always enjoy visiting columbia, but i never really considered going to a road game except for in boulder.

i would be much more likely to visit athens or baton rouge or gainesville than the crap towns we used to go to.

i don’t know if it would be an either/or situation. depends on if we go to columbus for a game i guess

Out-of-town alumni will always be drawn to CoMO

if it’s one or the other, I’m choosing a home game. However, if it’s more feasible to go to a road game that is closer than CoMO, I’d do that.

Will do then

Mine is nowhere nearly as well rounded as yours, but I has some great things.

If you are looking for a great ethnic/fancy cookbook, I have found a great one. It’s called “Luchow’s German Cookbook” by Jan Mitchell. It’s based off of the food of a historic, extremely up scale (though now defunct) German restaurant called Luchow’s in NYC. The recipes are a fantastic, though some of them are definitely directed toward a different palate (includes a lot of aspics and fish recipes that are definitely German). But man oh man are there some great, hearty (not in the grease and starch way) recipes.

I would be wary of apple butter that old

What we like to do with either chicken breasts or whole chickens, is marinate them in some cajun seasonings (i ilke slap ya mama) and then put on the grill. When your chicken is about half way done, use a brush and just slather the apple butter on. This will give you a good sweet crust on top of that deep spice that has soaked in. It is awesome!

but word is things are starting to look up. Prices in the metro area have already started to rebound, if the radio isn’t lying. Outside of some of the really hard hit areas (Atlanta, Detroit), I think it’s going to start getting better. Also, I’ve been hearing that rents are starting to go up again now (landlord market right now). That will slowly start driving people back to buying, with the interest rates so low, and likely to stay low for some time.

Kenmore Air! THAT's the name of that company.

I couldn’t think of it for the life of me. We took a ride in one of their planes several years ago. It was absolutely awesome.

That's awesome. We haven't done it yet 'cuz the wife doesn't trust it.

They start flying every weekday morning at 8am, and weekends at 9am.

I know I’m in trouble getting to work when I hear the first plane and I’m still in the Apt.

Awesome pic.

The ride was amazing. Went around Rainier and the Sound. And it was very safe the whole time. Trust me, I’ve been on a LOT more sketchy sea planes than Kenmore’s (see: Alaska bush planes).

Just let her know the facts...

It is statistically safer to fly that it is to drive. ESPECIALLY in the Seattle area.

So, St. Pats is on a saturday this year

And I have convinced the wife to spend the day in CoMo. It is also the first day of the 2nd round of the NCAA tourny. Heres hoping Mizzou plays that day, so that the wife will be forced to watch MU b-ball with me at harpos.

Sorry, St. Paddy's day

The wifes best friend recently moved to CoMo for work

So were going to down to spend time with her and to possibly get my step dad drunk and make fun of his 1 eye.

It really is.

I may have to track down tigerbartender and see if I can get kicked out of his establishment.

Well, I was aware of the rugby team's love of McNally's

The love of McDonald’s doesn’t exactly surprise me though.

by Damnatio Memoriae on Jan 27, 2012 1:38 PM CST up reply actions  

Haha I was joking, but yes we are quite fond of that little establishment

And Hey! That’s an OLine joke, not a rugby joke. Proud to say I haven’t had McDonald’s in months

True, true...

But the second row tries to balance it out…
