Bammer of the Week

My little brother graduated from SPUAT this past weekend (I am proud of him) and this was an interesting experience to say the least. And know that I represented Auburn well with a navy suit and an orange tie.

Here are some of the highlights...

1) Three Bear Bryant references during the ceremony. Can they go one day without talking about him? He's been dead for over 25 years;
2) Alumni Association president listed last year's A-Day game sellout as one of the accomplishments of this graduating class. I don't even have a smart-assed comment here, they don't need any help;
3) He also mentioned that enrollment at SPUAT is higher than ever. My girlfriend, who works at another university's undergraduate admission's office, said it was because they have lowered their admissions standards. Guess he forgot to mention that during his speech;
4) I heard at least four "Roll Tahds" bleated during the ceremony;
5) The guy stating people's names as they crossed the stage had to stop at least twice because of how rude people were, they were yelling "Skee-wee" or "Roll Tahd" or whatever else as the poor person's name afterwards was drowned out. He started by asking people to please refrain from yelling, though Bammers aren't smart enough to listen. I actually felt bad for some of the poor kids;
6) Amidst all of this, one person stood out, this poor sap who fell asleep during the ceremony. Of course he had on a ratty ol' SPUAT cap, crimson polo and boogie chain. The girl sitting next to him had to nudge him awake when she needed to leave her seat. It took him a while but he finally budged (from dreaming about Sa6an I'm sure). He was asleep for at least thirty minutes.
