Mayor Glen Johnson and Butch rally the crowd at a past First Down Friday.

Join Cougar fans downtown Friday night before the game for free live music, performances by the WSU marching band and WSU cheerleaders, chance to meet the athletes, and prizes! 

During the pep rally, Coach Paul Wulff will give a speech and athletes will sign posters for fans. And don't forget to snap a photo with Butch or with the "voice of the Cougs", Mayor Glen Johnson.  For the younger set, free games and inflatable fun for kids will be provided by WSU Athletic Marketing and Promotions. While there will be plenty of free activities throughout the night, First Down T-shirts  and a BBQ meal will be available for sale.

So start your Cougar Football Weekend early by cheering on the team with the rest of the city! It's fun and it's FREE. Go Cougs!
