Saturday should have been the last Apple Cup

If you were at the 2022 game in Eugene you are purple pilled forever. I don't care how gay it is to admit that.
Joey's almost at the acceptance phase.

In the interest of tradition, I think throwing em a bone and scheduling 2 for 1 would be fine. Given the insane in conference travel, it makes sense logically for "us" to play games in state. But more than that, it would shame the fuck out of Wazzu and OS. /shrug

We've had 10 years of two dudes standing in the middle of the ring throwing haymakers. Nobody on the ropes.

Do you think that continues if 1) Cuog is never/rarely competitive in the game and 2) it is never played in Pullman anymore?
I don't see how the athletic department gives up a 7th home game, especially not until we're getting a full share of TV revenue.

UW is borrowing future B10 earnings to close the gap on this half share nonsense as we speak. Is that 10 mil a year? 15? So when UW gets a full share in 2031 they’ll still be at a deficit to the rest of the league except for probably cuck UCLA. I don’t think Oregon is borrowing money, pretty sure Phil is covering that gap or at least most of it. This program needs revenue flow and playing games in Pullman is a financial drag for the AD. The arguments for continuing are valid and make sense from an emotional and regional perspective but strictly from the black and white financial side, it is in UW’s best interest to part ways.

You'd think a boomer would want this to continue but the ugly truth is that I have never liked the Apple Cup since I was a young pup. My dad hated all the NW teams because he didn't think they belonged in the same league as UW and the California schools. I like that kind of Husky arrogance. He hated the games, except Oregon because he hated them more, and never once got excited to play WSC
82 and 83 sealed it. Nothing to win everything to lose
Same as it ever was

Almost? Still have a purple pill boner

Your Pops wasn't wrong.
There was a disparity in the old Pac 8 in terms of prestigious institutions- i.e., Stanford, Cal, UW, UCLA and USC & the cow colleges/UO.
Also, of the famous interstate rivalries in college football, there was probably no greater disparity than UW and WSU in terms of wealth and prestige.

I didn't go to school for school, pal.
