Was at graduation today for ULM and noticed that when a certain demographic came on stage the noise level increased. Is this commonplace at most graduations these days? There were times when you would miss up to three names being called because of the noise level.

Yes it happens everywhere. Yes, it's embarrassing for everyone. Damn Asians.

Wouldn't know, I skipped my graduation. Too busy making six figures already.

Am I doing this OT thing right?

yes, for the most part black people do seem to show more enthusiasm at graduations.

But it's always a white dude that sneaks in the air horn.

Not sure who had the air horn but heard it go off a few times.

At practice yesterday, a guy had some sort of problem and almost passed out in front of me. I helped him to the ground because he couldn't stand and then I got a whiff of the most horrible shite smell you could possibly imagine. The guy had shite down his pants leg in the midst of this seizure or medical emergency. Probably the most interesting pre graduation ceremony you could imagine. He was back today and not a word was mentioned about the incident.

I don't mind the extra noise, but cheering into the next person's big moment is really inconsiderate and I've seen that happen too.

Who gives a shite? If anything that next person walking the stage is getting some extra cheers that they wouldn't have.

Practice? You're smart enough to graduate from college but too dumb to line up in alphabetical order without practice?!? What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on where you're at?

It's a joyous occasion. I told my family to make as much noise for me as possible both times I walked across the stage.

The next person's family cares that they get to hear their graduate's name called.

Friday before graduation is practice at ULM, if you don't go then you can't walk.
