Saturday should have been the last Apple Cup
The Huskies went over to Pullman to play in front of 32000 people, a sellout btw, and split the revenue with the Coog. Yay. So now next year they come home and play in front of 70000 and have to split it again. But at least they have to go back there in 2027 and do it all over again. JC Dannen was a fucktard for doing this. Keep the damn trophy and don’t return it. Tell them to fuck off and get off our lawn. You already kicked them out of your house, tell them to LEAVE already

My argument has always been to rotate WSU, OSU, and Cal.
Which illustrates the real problem: WSU truly needs this game when it comes to Pullman.

I was unaware of the home and home split revenue, 50/50 cut every game. Not surprised but that needs to end or the series ends. TYFYS

We get 💯 of the ticket sales next year.

Yes and still not worth it

When you bring in 2024 I mean they're never ending it.
It was like two mini-playoff atmospheres at each pro stadium that day.
All the surrounding businesses and everything both fanbases spend too much money still.

When Dannen was asked about the Apple Cup at his introductory press conference he was about to bury it and say something smart about needing every home game they could get to be financially as healthy as could be and then Cauce slid over, grabbed his mic and said there were ongoing negotiations with WSU and that their desire was to continue the series. Dannen looked annoyed because he knew it was a bad idea but Cauce was running the deal. If the new president has balls and a spine he and Chun end this bullshit. Don’t let feelings interrupt good business.

New President, new attitude!

Apple Cup will always be a sell out at Husky Stadium. Ticket sales will out revenue every other OOC game and pretty much a guaranteed win at this point.
