Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

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

    You think that's mean, ask @Sledog and @SFGbob how they feel about black people, especially black teenage boys who dare to leave their houses at night and walk outside w/o a permit. They'll rearrange your perspective and make you Tuff!

    I'm looking for some double-or-nothing action from creep on the AC this year.

    He stupidly bet on the Coogs last year, and chances are, he's not any smarter than he was last season, so I think I can get him to do it again.

    Creep? You in?

    CUOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just as I suspected - no smarter than last year.

    It's on then.

    If the Coogs win, which they won't, you get nothing. If the Coogs lose, which they will, I may actually think about collecting on the bet.

    Cuogs think self defense is illegal. Only way they can get laid.

    That said, coogs will lose one before the AC. Which might be bad for us?

    Here’s my in depth breakdown:

    If Gaskin plays and is healthy, UW wins. Probably by 2 touchdowns+

    If Gaskin doesn’t play, it’s a 50:50 ball game.

    I’d also like to add that anyone who thought WSU could win the last couple years probably is functioning at low levels. Luke Falk wasn’t good after 2016. If he won’t throw the ball and runs like corpse with cement pales on his feet, it ain’t hard to see what UWs defense would do.

    You better back em up. Pre Apple cup hostility is growing around here.

    We're going to tear every ligament in Minshew's knee and win by 50.

    Seems it was just last year that the Cougs were supposed to be good and hard to beat and had an all league player that was sacking and stopping everybody.

    Coach Pete decided their D looked like a D that we could run on.

    And we did, for 328 yards in an epic route.

    The end.

    For the last 5 years Coogs were good and going to kick UWs ass. But this time it’s different.

    Mustafa was going to kill Browning.. Gabe Marks was going to kill the UW secondary. Manwich is different. He’s from Mississippi and is going to kill UW in an episode of Last Chance U.
    UW is going for a mustache ride!
