Actually they have added another classification in Xennials. Being one I definitely agree we don’t fit the mold of Gen X or Millenials.

I definitely feel my grandparents generation who grew up during the Great Depression is the greatest generation ever. Their work ethic and pride is unmatched. That being said I would vote my generation of Xennials as the 2nd best.

When I read the name my first thought was definitely someone making up a generation cause they didn’t wanna be called a Millennial😂

I wish it was a law that all teenage boys had to spend a summer working in a hay field throwing square bales or in a tobacco field working a crop and then stripping and hanging. And all teenage girls had to spend a summer working at putting in a garden, hoeing, pulling weeds, etc and then gathering the crops. And then spend the evening canning and preparing and cooking a meal from scratch. I know it's a pipe dream and all but would be good in the long run to teach them some valuable work ethic and life skills. Hell, most, not all, throw a fit having to get off their PS4's and cell phones to mow the grass or help clean the house. I supervised and hired young people for years at my previous company and a high percentage of them usually didn't last more than a week or so because they thought they were too good to work that long or that hard for less than $13 hr to start. And it became a daily pain in the arse to keep most of them working and off those cell phones! Most young people today have no clue what a truly hard days work is. And don't even get me started on their personal responsibility and respect for elders. And again, notice I said most. I know there are exceptions. Thank you and good night...…......where's the Tylenol?

Yeah, but the Big 12 has been around less than 15 years. I'm sure the Big 8 has a playoff win or 2. Aikman played at Oklahoma before he transferred to UCLA, so that's at least 9 wins there

Nobody thinks of Aikman being from OU. Did he ever really even play at OU, or was he just on the roster? I can't remember.

He played 2 years but got hurt his second year. Barry Switzer went back to the wishbone with Jamelle Holloway (who was hanging around our tailgate when I saw UT play in Norman). They won the title that year, so Holloway was going to keep his job, and Aikman transferred. Wiki says Aikman was the first freshman QB to start at OU since WW2.
