At first I thought this was an odd post but then it immediately kicked in the OP is spot on. I flew to DTW and back over the long weekend. Half of the F cabin in the 'bus was college kids both ways. They were excited about it and were calling their buds to exclaim. They weren't disrupting during the flight at all and were polite. I just found it odd that it was so obvious.
Why I asked myself? Simple. FCM at work.
