Every year is a spit in the face of us 06ers, who suffered Tom Brokaw talking about out parents' generation, on a football practice field. As if 4 years of losing to kal wasn't punishment enough, we couldn't even graduate in a proper stadium, as it was being renovated at the time. Backup level speaker to go with the backup venue.

Having also graduated '06 and sat through many others, we definitely weren't screwed by the speaker.  Dana Gioia and the Alejandro Toledo were both way more boring.  Brokaw was at least a good speaker and somewhat lighthearted (from what I remember).

I also just realized that my brother also had a news anchor as commencement speakers (his was Ted Koppel), weird.
