Not likely, but I would love it if the students at the December Graduation would accept their diploma and just walk by Watts and refuse to acknowledge him after all this mess.

That would be fantastic. I don't know how he can show his face on campus again.

I like this idea. Walk on stage and don't shake his hand, wear a FreeUAB armband, etc.

They should turn their backs to him when he speaks and refuse to shake his hand. The man is a traitor.

Excellent idea!

Like this idea as well though not sure Watts will make it til then. Maybe the December graduation.

When he reaches out to shake your hand, give home a small bag with 30 plastic coins.

I'm betting he is going to be ill and unable to attend the December graduation.

Hand him one of those little squeeze-toy footballs.

Spit on the stage at his feet as you walk by.

If an when he pulls that bull**** move, then write on your football/bag of silver "for Ray Watts" and hand it off to whomever gives you your degree.

The students should make it hard on him but do it in a tasteful way.

Watts turned his back on the athletes and university. The students should turn their backs on him. Don't face the man as he speaks. He deserves your disrespect.

Remember the little chocolate footballs in the gold foil wrap?

THIS, a thousand times this.

Someone with some funds (like Mr. Filler) should buy a couple thousand small toy footballs to give to graduates in December.

Students should sit in their seats and not get up when names are called. Technically you do not receive your diploma that day anyways

Yes! He can't possibly have the gall to show his face at the ceremony after those 2 videos I've seen of him at the Football Office. They should unleash the dragon on his *** if he does!

This and more...His vote of no confidence is already etched in stone.

Unless it's changed very recently, that's not how it works. You just start at the front and bring a card with your name on it. People aren't arranged by name in the seats.

If the graduates do have something in mind to send this bastard a message (if he has the stones to show his face), I support them 1 million (bleeping) percent!
