Favorite Apple Cup Memory?

theknowledge

Two come immediately to mind, my first was the 1991 game. My first attended game ever. I got a free 100 years of Husky football poster which I still have to this day. Our Dwags destroyed the Coug and roses covered the field. Amazing. Two, I happened to get AC tickets to the Pickett to Williams game. Being of age for that one I was quite drunk. I remember wandering around the stadium because I'd lost my seats. I came out of a random tunnel and started partying with a small portion of the band that had popped up on my side of the field, shared a shot of my flask with a drummer and trumpet player and then celebrated with and hugged a gaggle strangers that I didn't come with or sit with all because I was too drunk to find wherever the fuck I was sitting when the pass was completed. Unreal.

Aside: Does the Husky band still send out pockets of the band to play in different sections? Used to love that as a kid.

2016 it was around 28-0 in the 2nd quarter.

Next morning on shitty local Pac 12 show Gesser was throwing a tantrum claiming Colorado was going to beat us down in P12CG while Cam Cleeland was laughing right next to him. Lot of unintentional comedy on that show which had a chucklefuck from each of the 4 schools every week.

Since my first live attendance in 1980 (Joe Albi Stadium), through the last one (turning back to see Gabe Marks' knee shredded on the way out of "the Greatest Setting"), many of the details have been lost to time (and, excessive alcohol consumption at said games).

The motto of my "crew" over the years, which has been about 50 /50 Dawg / Cuog, has been "Win or lose, we booze"...no sulking, no pimping, have another beer. It was always our favorite weekend of the year. Ironically, most of the great memories / stories have come after our Mighty Men of Montlake have been defeated...

Chuck Nelson's shank sailing right over my head, finishing with a bonfire in Clete Casper's front yard (with part of a goal post).

In 88, one of my guys was a GA at WSU, and we played quarters with Jack Daniels post-game with Uncle Denny...One of the boys didn't have tix (a former teacher / coach of mine), and he marched in through the tunnel with the Cuog band, out onto the field, and ran to the sideline and jumped into the stands before they could catch him.

With no tix, having a dude throw a ladder over the fence under the scoreboard to us (which we quickly climbed) to get into the Snow Bowl.

Probably the one I cherish the most was the triple-overtime debacle in Pullman, sitting with my best friend (a Coug), with free Cuog tix (he was in the AD there). Bitter, bitter tears were tasted that night...and they were frozen.

I also remember 09 well...Got back from 2 weeks in Cabo the night before, hosted my guys pre-game, Jack Lockner goes off, and
being woken up by helicopters flying around our neighborhood for 2 days looking for the guy that shot 4 policemen in Lakewood (we apparently lived 2 blocks from his sister)...

We always approached it as being more about the experience than the score, as much as I wanted the Dawgs to win, it wasn't going to fuck up a great time...csb

Marquis Cooper #88 bringing back the INT. Husky Stadium was shaking as hard as ever.

Helped rush the field in Pullman….twice

Jumping up and down with Patrick Reddick…him yelling at people on the goalposts. “TEAR THAT MOTHERFU**ER DOWN!”

Getting SWAT lined up and getting me off the field was fun too a few years later

Corey Williams touchdown at the 2003 Apple cup. I was 10, It was my first Apple cup. My dad and I have been to a lot of awesome football games and Apple cups together since but that game kicked off my Husky fandom and is part of the reason I went to Uw for undergrad.

Although my Cougs lost the ‘89 AC in Seattle I was thoroughly entertained when police maced UW students rushing the field. ‘We’ had a lousy team and lost by a ton, but the post-game cops v. kids scrimmage was heart-warming.

2016 and 2018 clinching the pac 12 north was fun.

All three were in Pullman and in person:

2018 Gaskin running 70ish yards for the winning score.

2016 The scene at the end with team coming over to the visiting section after the game and the celebration

2002 Apple cup going on to field after game and having projectiles whiz by my head, then trying to get back to the car alive.
