Saturday should have been the last Apple Cup

I didn't go to school for school, pal.

Coogs don’t want it either. Bury it.

You'd think a boomer would want this to continue but the ugly truth is that I have never liked the Apple Cup since I was a young pup. My dad hated all the NW teams because he didn't think they belonged in the same league as UW and the California schools. I like that kind of Husky arrogance. He hated the games, except Oregon because he hated them more, and never once got excited to play WSC
82 and 83 sealed it. Nothing to win everything to lose
Same as it ever was

People forget Montana was in the old PCC till 1950 and Idaho through 1959.

I was in the camp of nuke the series, be done with Coug forever.
…until I went to the game last Saturday. I witnessed a throwback to a regional football game where families and alumni on both sides got together and enjoyed a day of tailgating and football. Almost all Coogs I talked to rescinded themselves to knowing they were getting plungered.
Salty….there was a lot of angry, salty fans that hate all things Husky. Walking around in purple was interesting and entertaining.

The gayme was sold out, student section packed and chanting F’ the Huskies on and off, we walked by large bands of Coug frat bros and got a ration of shit.

Good atmosphere, and now that I’ve seen it from the other side, I absolutely believe this series should continue. It’s good for Washington, good for local/regional football fans, the Coogs need to get their shit together and put a good product out.

I don't think this is at all sustainable more than 2 - 3 more years. WSU is going to get its ass beat mercilessly and their fans will want an end to the beatings. UW fans who aren't already bored playing WSU will soon become indifferent to the game.

With the ACC going to 9 conference plus 1 P4 non-con, but needing 1 team to only play 8 conference and instead play 2 non-con P4 (LOL how ridiculous), the opportunity is there for a scheduling alliance with UCLA, UO, Cal and Stanford.
Cal & Stanford rotate which one has to play 8 + 2, which gives them 3 Power 4 games to fill.
Those 3 Power 4 games rotate through UW, UO and UCLA.
(USC is good because they have ND). Cuog and Beav can keep playing in-state rivalries if they want and they should want the TV exposure at that point.

Next year it'll feel like beating on Eastern going forward.

My only beef will relegating WSU to non power conference status remains that I want this process to be uniform across college football. There's a lot a wheat to be separated from the chafe in the B1G, SEC and ACC. Am I right @Sandra6 and @SECDAWG or am I right?

 

[NeGgaPlEaSe]

it’s Joe Bidden’s fault

I disagree with anyone trying to end it. CFB is all greed, and we will survive the supposed financial hit.

Cuog are our little brother and the game should be played every year. It’s a good non conference game. It’s a lot more fun than playing a random patsy.It’s fun for the casual fan and for split families. Keep the game.

Disagree. Their fans are insufferable. I've had so many beyond ridiculous interactions with Cuog fans over the years, I've lost count. And ever since I had empty fifth bottles thrown at my head after the 2002 AC… yeah, they can all go ahead and fuck right off.

Leaving that shit hole last year with how their fans were, I waited patiently for last week/last weekend/this week.
Has lived up to it so far.

Now that I think about it, I think I started to resent their fans way less because they were neutered because they lost so much but when they won in 2021 leaving the stadium was an endless parade of Cougs trying to start fights. Fuck em.

 

[digits]

ASJ sucker punched by a Cuog fan, Buddha Baker tripped on the sideline by a WSU assistant during the fucking game. But yeah, let's keep this awesome rivalry going. Busch league.

 

[graveyardDEADdawg]

I believe the Cauce wouldn't kill it stuff. Keeping it was important to the blue hairs like my dad and government types I'm sure. I wouldn't be surprised if even they run out of gas on it the time it's supposed to renew. I could see UW greedily hanging on because they know it's a guaranteed big crowd every other year.
I assume everyone would be too scared of injuries to do any kind of game in spring. Maybe an alumni game.

There is zero chance of a scrimmage spring game vs anybody other than guys you can control. Either 2 in HS and one in Pullman or alternate HS and the Clink and if they don’t like that f’em

What does all that even mean, Pod?

If I remember correctly, you’re good with a bunch of news reporters saying who’s the best in CFB instead of playing it out?

I’m saying that Miss St is the Washington State of the SEC, albeit with a much bigger stadium cause SEC, SEC, SEC!!

Checks out. Mike Leach was great at both places without winning anything of note

Relegation now, relegation tomorrow and relegation forever.

Last year was way, way, worse than 2021. Not actually being at the road team's stadium, there were way more out of control drunk people there than previous years.
After the game, it's kind of unbelievable to see all these cops around controlling traffic while a bunch of cars are swerving all over the road as they honk at anyone with a purple license plate.
They all hid last week. FTG for real.
