Although not a h.uge amount is at stake, Washington is very beatable this year so it is probably the Pirate's best chance in a while.
Although the Husky DC is from Spokane, he doesn't have much use for the Cougs.
After last year's game he said he always looked forward to playing Wazzu because they are so easy to defend. "They have been doing the same thing for the past five years".
Any chance we could hire this guy?
I am always interested in the Apple Cup because I grew up in Seattle as a Husky fan. I suffered one of the coldest games of my life at the 1970 Apple Cup in Spokane. The Husky coaching staff always tried to sensitize out-of-state players to the importance of the rivalry. In the immortal words of one assistant coach: "Listen, guys, you don't want to lose to Washington State. It's like stepping in dog crap, except it's worse, because you don't get a chance to wash it off for a year."
Washington leads the rivalry 73-32-6, and Washington's current win streak is 6.
