Favorite Apple Cup Ever?

2023 was very fun after getting to 12-0. Chanting the record over and over while we had my football practice mix playing loud outside the bus. Probably 20 silver bullets I’m by that time there was some serious shit talking going on. We sometimes have time to wait till the players come out so the kids with us can take pictures and congratulate them on a victory. Best part I still have a video still on my phone of ZTF Going to shake hands with my son, but making sure he blows his vape dragged to the other direction before he dabs him up. So that probably makes it my favorite.
I'm glad you had fun.
I didn't enjoy any of it until I stopped at Matchless on the way home and got to enjoy the aftermath of the cougs realizing they let a program defining day slip through their fingers.
In that Apple Cup book this week Dickert practically asphyxiates himself about it with quotes like "Ruining everything they've ever worked for".
 
Night before my first ever row boat Apple Cup, it snowed a couple inches in Pullman. Drank a six pack in the hotel the and had a few Kodiak dips that evening. Race was still over in 10 seconds.

Snake River, coldest row boat course in the Pac-10!

Dick Hurt should have focused on not losing to abysmal ASU and Stanford teams and losing to Cal and UCLA teams they should have beat. That's a team that Leach gets to 10 wins with but gets boat raced in the Apple Cup.
About 60% of the team walked by our tailgate after the game and weren't the least bit celebratory. I think they were scared of the Fanduel spread against Oregon.

It’s true they walked by us like “what’s so exciting?”
 
1980: My intro to the Apple Cup…Last one to be played at Joe Albi, getting in for free with somebody’s WSU ID, smuggling in about 2 cases of beer, beating Samoa Samoa, with about a 12 hour after party.
2002: Free admission again, went with one of my bff’s who was working in Cuog AD, and my boy white-hat Gordon Riese (a long story for another tim, but I know him), made the backward pass call, and I spent the rest of the evening/morning drinking with a bunch of despondent Cuog alum beisbol guys…
The majority of my friends are Cuog, and it is strange that, in thinking back over the decades, the most fun / best stories of the AC were after Husky losses, during the postgame…that isn’t what this thread is about, but I find it interesting in retrospect…
 
not sure what the outcome of the game nor which one - but the band honored the Cuogs pregame with their fight sone and played “farmer in the Dell” - I am sure we won
