Apple Cup
Today's annual rivalry game between the Cougs and the Huskies was one of most poorly played, penalty-ridden, badly coached debacles in College Football history. I think there were more yards gained and lost over penalties than those in actual play. I've seen Rugby matches that were less brutal.
I enjoyed every second. It was sure exciting to watch. A well-deserved "WOOF!" to the Cougs who IMHO deserved to win this time. Well, maybe....
It was fun.... First time I've actually watched the entire game.

And yet, even with the ugly loss, I'll be spending a week in Vegas at a bowl game (or wherever) while the Cougs are still in Pullman. In December. With one conference win. I can live with that every four or five years

Personally, I would have taken an Apple Cup win over a no name, 4th tier bowl game. I live in WA. My dawgs couged it. WE certainly didn't do ourselves any favors with in state recruiting.

Hope no one took offense. Wasn't directed at anyone. Just expressing my frustration about the loss.
Congratulations to the Cougars for the Apple Cup win and the Huskies for a winning season. Great for both programs..

Most consider the Apple Cup the state of Washington's bowl game, so the Coug's will be sitting fat and happy not only in December, but all year long. They're already bowl winners.

The Las Vegas bowl may not be top tier, but the players have fun and it's a reward for their hard work and sacrifice over the last year. The team also gets an extra 15 practices, which they can really use.
