re: Bob Mann hates on LSU Football, gets told STTDB.......

I don't know anything about Bob Mann, but is there anything to back this up:

I’ve got a suggestion: Teach more classes, Bob. Bring in some grant money, Bob. Make the investment in your salary and your “research” and writing pay off for the university and this state. Get a real job, Bob.

Since when is being a university professor not a real job?

Or perhaps you can’t because nobody wants to hire you in the real world. That’s why you have to live in one made of ivory towers built on the tax dollars of the good people of this state. No Bob, you’re a bad investment and YOU and your ilk are the problem with LSU.

Oh that's right, people outside of academia are quick to discredit those working in a "publish or perish" career path because "all they have to do is teach two classes a semester." Nevermind that academia in one of the most highly competitive fields to get into, and with grant money drying up it is becoming even more difficult to be successful.

Again, I know nothing about Bob Mann's productivity, but this seems like a boastful rebuttal based on nothing but rhetoric.
