[Husker] Mike Leach Suspended by Texas Tech

[Smith, William]

I'm a college prof and on many occasions my colleagues engage in "kids these days...." or "this generation..." gripe sessions.

This reminds me of the old joke...

Q:   What's the worst year of marriage?

A:   The one you're in.  

Every new crop of students has the outward appearance of being the laziest, most spoiled, most irresponsible, most immature.  Only to be exceeded by next year's class.  Seems to happen every year.

Dr Tom didn't have to deal with the helicopter generation of parents, either.

How many of you own businesses and grit your teeth these days when you're forced to hire 20-somethings?
