50 years of Apple Cups

That's pretty much what I have seen. I was 12 in 1968 so I was paying attention. I have memories of earlier Husky games like the 64 Rose Bowl but 50 is a round number

Overall UW leads 72-32 pretty much a 70% win percentage right there. Oklahoma is over 81% against Okie State.

The last 50 is 35-15 UW. Well that's 70% too. Eight in a row is the magic number. Never been beyond that. Yes, UW had won 8 in a row as Chuck Nelson stepped up to kick the field goal.

Out of the 15 WSU had won. Bledsoe and Leaf each got one. WSU won 4 out of 5 during the dark decade that brought in this century. That's six of their wins right there. Rosenbaugh got one as did Jack Thompson. That's 8

With a NFL QB or a horrible Husky team the Cuogs have a shot. This year they have the QB and while UW doesn't suck they are shaky to be kind.

Which is my theme this year - UW doesn't ALWAYS win the Apple Cup. A lot but not always. If they are going to drop one this is one they would drop. The myth of WSU being more dangerous when they suck is not entirely true although the Chuck Nelson game is an origin for that myth,

Generally WSU wins when they are better or have a superior QB.

Like 3 out of 10 over a century
