Will they never learn?

Aaaaahh . . . yes . . . wlayton, you bring back QUITE the memories . . . at least what I am ABLE to remember.

However, I sure wouldn't have done any of that stuff just after my head coach had just let go of a linebacker and a potential starting quarterback, if I was just a backup punter. At least not if I wanted to continue to don the Red and Black on Saturdays. Talk about being a potential poster child for \"example setting\"!

ok wlayton you busted me lol.

But on the other hand, I wasnt in the position to be part of a MAJOR college football program either!

Apparently I was just having another binge myself, considering I just accidentally re-posted that same comment!

Sorry.

He's not either, really.......senior back up punter? The waterboy gets more action AND is more valuable.

I understand the fact that they are KIDS ( I say kids and mean kids) in college. That does not excuse their behavior though. I don't think it's an age thing or a college thing. I honestly think it's a \"raising\" thing. As time goes on, and the more students I see. The more I start to see and understand the mentality of these kids. My students are around the same age as these kids. What I see, is and attitude of \"You owe me\", and/or \"It's not my fault\". This attitude does not know a color or a creed. Parents of today's youth do not hold their children to a standard. It's everyone else's fault. \" My baby would never do that\". Add in a little \"no child left behind\" , take out a little classroom/behavioral competition, then add a little more \" parents not including discipline as a method to raise children\". What do you end up with. A kid, who thinks he can get away with anything. No matter how bad he acts, it's okay and it's never MY fault. I know their are exception to the rule. Unfortunately, the exceptions are the good kids and the norm are the bad ones. Unlike these student athletes(my students), they do not get the chance to play for the Red and Black. They get a chance to protect, fight, and/or die for the Red, White, and Blue. This by no means changes the attitude. Bad apples are bad apples, and they start to rot at home!

Of course this is my opinion. This is years of teaching young military kids how to fly in a helicopter and be rescue swimmers. It's always someone else's fault. Never theirs.

Yep flyin dawg, right on the money. Discipline starts at home.
