Democrat Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts looks pretty excited about addressing Boston University at graduation in a few weeks. His name was trending on Twitter this morning. Unfortunately, many students and alumni aren’t as thrilled as he is.

“@BU_Tweets: .@MassGovernor Deval Patrick will deliver the #BU2014 commencement address.” Ugh what

My alma mater getting the short end of the stick this year. Deval Patrick is great and all, but as your commencement speaker, #BU2014?

Very disappointed in the BU commencement speaker.. No disrespect for Deval Patrick but I'm sure many students have seen him speak before

Deval Patrick is like the most anti-climactic commencement speaker of my 4 years at BU

Now, maybe one of these students can confront Gov. Patrick about #FreeJustina.
