Fans traveling to Faribault for Austin’s first football game of the season on Friday will experience a new program launched by the State Patrol.

At high school football games across the state, troopers will use T-shirt launchers to pass an important message intended for high school students: Wear your seat belt.

The loud, neon-green T-shirts are emblazoned with “Everyday I’m Bucklin.”

The events will be accompanied by stadium public address announcements as well as morning school messages that reinforce the important “buckle up” message.
