With all the negative sky is falling on here, thought I'd share a cool positive event recently at MSU and on ESPN primetime last Saturday during the sports dead season.

MSU hosting the AKC dog diving/jumping championship at the Junction. I think it was during spring break but not sure. Cool show in front of our football stadium, got lot of air time. Bully got lot of attention as our vet school and Dak being the face of MSU football. MSU in general got some great national publicity.

Anyway this board is almost depressing now so go look it up if you didn't see this national TV exposure - good for MSU I don't care how bad the portal or NIL is.

Awesome, I had a Lab that could have competed in that event. He leaped like he was Carl Lewis winning the gold medal. He was so smart and athletic.

I didn’t get to see this episode but have watched same at other venues on ESPN. Cool competition!
I had a Chesapeake Bay retriever many years ago that maybe not would have won the jumping into the water competition but he’d would have damn sure made into the final rounds. The most athletic dog I had ever seen. He would jump off the pier at the lake at my ranch/farm and it was crazy how far he could jump. RIP Buddy! You were a good dog!

Yeah, I believe it was during spring break. I think maybe the Greek clubs were involved in it in some capacity too. My German Shepard is only good for snack freeloading and being the center of attention.
