Bo knows friends

It’s all been good for Bo Paske, the Florida kid who became a star when a Florida State football player noticed him sitting alone in the school cafeteria. His mother reported on Facebook that Bo, who is autistic, doesn’t seem to have any friends who sit with him at lunch.

Yesterday, Florida State played its season opener and the kid apparently has a friendship that outlasted lunch period.

Here’s one with the audio.

Bo’s new pal, Travis Rudolph, caught six catches and scored a touchdown in the contest.

His mother said last week her son isn’t alone anymore at lunch either.

Since we're posting pics of all the VIPs, no list is complete without this very special guest. Welcome, Bo! pic.twitter.com/SOMH2SIoT7
