Side note - I just watched the video for the first time.  I thought it was pretty cute.  It was a VERY large turnout for her.  Lots of friends, family, and students in the stands.  She had to say "I will be attending the University of..." twice before her friends walked out with the super fluffy husky.

It was clever just like Megan's where she popped the balloons for Texas and ND leaving the UCONN balloon unpopped.

I get that some like to point to Stewie's low key approach of calling the coach, making her decision, and letting the media announce it for the most part (she signed her LOI on the hood of the car, but that's not when she announced her decision was it?).

Either way, this is their moment in the sun in high school.  It's probably the single biggest decision they've had to make in their young lives.  Do we bemoan the pomp and circumstance surrounding a high school graduation (procession, caps and gowns, handing out the diplomas)?  No.  Graduating is a BIG deal.  So is deciding what college to attend, and when you are the top recruit in the nation (or even if you are just in the top 20), why not make a bit of a fuss about it?
