Apple Cup memories

A few years back I was watching a meaningless Apple Cup on Friday and my wife wanted to go out to eat so I said sure.gif.
That right there tells you a lot about the state of the program just a few short years ago. So we go down to a pizza joint sports bar place and order some food and the game is on TV and about this time UW starts blowing a two TD lead and the patrons in the bar are taking up the side of the underdog cuogs and start cheering for them.
My wife is looking at me because the old me would have been looking to fight or throwing things at the TV. Instead I was calmly eating and laughing at the unfolding tragedy. I knew we were going to blow it. Never a doubt.
That was the smiling Keith Price overtime loss, the last loss in the series I think.
Petersen will have the guys ready to rumble.

TLDR == They were stemming.

Was that when he said he wants the ball in OT "so we can score" and then promptly threw a pick?

77-4 Cuog

I recall the doogs blamed the kicker instead of Sark for that collapse

How many scores will scoring at the speed of light constantly from the opening kickoff allow for?CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:77-4 Cuog
...to zero. -
1975 in the rain. Cuogs with a 27-14 lead and the ball on the UW 14. 3:01 to go.
Final UW 28, Cuogs 27. Cuogs Coug'd It.

I was gathered with my family for the last Thanksgiving we would spend together at my dads' cabin in Hood River.
My brother, who gives zero shits about football, called around the start of the fourth quarter so I was only halfway paying attention as we slowly collapsed. It all still seems like a dream in my mind.
When we finally ran out of stories to tell brother about how we had screwed up the turkey this year the game was tied. But UW was driving.
The dads wanted to go for a sunset walk so I said sure I will catch up to you at the end of the driveway as soon as fuckstick makes this FG.
I never got to see that sunset. -
The ruling on the field is a baaahackward pass. Washington recovers that baaahackward pass.
TGIO. -
I had loud mouth coog fan behind me the whole game. We had beat John Fucking McKay for the first time in 10 years and now we're losing the Apple Cup.HanseeHall78 said:1975 in the rain. Cuogs with a 27-14 lead and the ball on the UW 14. 3:01 to go.

Al Burleson, Warren Moon, and Spider Gaines. And me turning around to loud mouth coog fan and saying
WHAT DOES THAT ASSHOLE RACE BANNON HAVE TO SAY NOW? -
The date was November 19, 1988 ... my birthday.
I was banging a blonde girl in my living room I had wanted to bang since I first met her my freshman year. My parents were waiting for me at my grandparent's house. I told them I would be over after the game ended.
The game was on, and it wasn't until my mom asked me who won and I said Huskies that I found out the Cuogs had actually won.
Also, as a side note, the rubber I used had been in my wallet an eternity, and when I went to take it off all that was there was the ring ...
