A Note from the Editor

To our valued readers,

Happy Holidays! Welcome to this special online edition of Butch's Beat.

If you are not familiar with the magazine, Butch's Beat, the official publication of Washington State University Athletics, is published six times a year. All season ticket holders and members of the WSU Athletic Foundation receive the publication.

In an effort to broaden our readership audience, two editions of Butch's Beat for the 2008-09 academic year will be produced as a PDF document, which will be sent via e-mail and posted online at wsucougars.com. The May issue will also be in this format.

I hope you like what you see, and, if so, why not receive the four hard copy issues? It's easy to do. Become a season ticket holder, or for just a minimum $100 donation, you can become a member of the WSU Athletic Foundation.

By becoming an Athletic Foundation Member, you help provide our student-athletes with a world-class educational and athletic experience. Your support is critical to providing a competitive edge to the Cougs in the classroom and on the playing fields.
