GO COUGS!!!!

This weekend was the world famous, always anticipated, never duplicated, Apple Cup. Okay, well maybe not world famous...and maybe not anticipated...but each year isn't a duplication of the last that's for sure.

This year my team, the WSU Cougars, rose victorious against the University of Washington Huskies. This is the second year in a row we've won the Apple Cup. Or as it was known this year the "Crapple Cup". See both teams SUCKED this year. The Cougs went into the game with an 0-6 in the conference record. While the Huskies went in with a 1-6 record. Impressive isn't it. But more impressive is the Cougs lost three conference games by only 3 points. And in three conference games were ahead between 17 and 21 points each time...and yet they managed to "Coug It". (For those of you not from this area, Coug'ing It means you've got the win in the bag, and you blow it...enormously.)

But who cares, right. The point is the Cougs won the Crapple Cup. But I must say its not nearly as exciting to win when you're basically going to be TIED for dead last. Its much more fun to be the spoiler...of which either team's spoils this year would have been ... well... nothing.

But the season's over and as one famous Husky friend put it... " Mercifully, another forgettable UW football season can fade into the mist."
