My kids are Junior Huskies here in Washington. It is very fun for them to hang out with the athletes and get a t-shirt. The athletes are gods to my little boys. The men's basketball team just sent my son an autographed birthday card. A few weeks ago they were in the tunnel when the football players were walking out for warm-ups and got to give everybody five. On Friday they are having a pizza party with the volleyball team before a match. We totally plan our schedule around the Junior Husky events. Does MSU have a program like this? We would defiantely pay a little to sign-up our kids to be Junior Bobcats as well. It is a great community outreach program and the athletes seem to enjoy it, too.
