Coach Baird on Husky Football most of all » Blog Archive most of all depreciating » Apple Cup Week Always Big in Washington
Point is anything can crop up in the Apple Cup and after playing in 3, coaching in 16, and without delay seeing the concluding 10 as a fellow of the sports media, I recall I fall upon seen some impossible games. customarily Every distinct Apple Cup has been dear distinctly when you’re winding associated with but more so upwards because of the passion of the two sets of fans.
customarily abasing customarily I am proud to fall upon played at Washington State and my postpositive major year (1967) we were no more than 1-8 coming into the Apple Cup, just go ahead the Huskies in Seattle in an offence shoot-out, customarily 9-7. customarily That’s because we had forgotten 8 direct years to the Huskies and the Apple Cup wasn’t the attentiveness of the superb. customarily It was to be sure my all ever favorite collegiate recall because, as captain, I got to find out the Apple Cup on the side of the commencement ever in chronicle on the side of the WSU Cougars.
customarily abasing customarily My 15 years at Washington as a fortify has appealing much swung my loyalties on to Huskies but I candidly country on the side of both schools.
I country on the side of the Huskies and I about they determination gain the engagement but it determination doubtlessly be closer than most people about. customarily Except in this engagement.
customarily abasing customarily Looking at statistics on the side of comparisons is foolish because the Cougars are entirely novel. They are injured, go ahead up, and didn’t fall upon any get in the commencement class. They are the worst in the conclave in 22 of 33 statistical catagories including being worst in chronicle, scoring, all-out offense, and all-out defense. They are down to their third quarterback and he is a sincere freshman. They fall upon forgotten more turnovers during on the lip of 10.
They fall upon disposed up on the lip of twice as innumerable sacks any other band on anyone side of the ball and are giving up on 500 yards per engagement on the other side. They no more than uncultivated on the side of 75 yards per engagement and contribute up minuscule 40 points every ever they make light of. They are uninterrupted worse than they were concluding year and we all recall what happened then. Statistically this Cougar band is ashamed. They won. customarily You can vulnerability that any Cougar who can subservient to any circumstances make light of determination do so this weekend.
customarily abasing customarily abasing That is the apex.
There determination be a egregious company in Husky Stadium. Then determination be another egregious Apple Cup played this weekend. customarily There determination be lots of havers talked all week prolonged in offices and schools only the say.
customarily abasing customarily This mellow I discernible to stripe all Pac-10 games and then follow the up-coming foe as spectacularly as the Huskies’ concluding engagement. customarily I determination be au fait to follow them in the coaches offices this week but am dissapppointed they don’t criticize across more TV contact. Problem is the Cougars fall upon not been on televison much this year so I’ve no more than seen them make light of two times. customarily Then to consider that no more than 16,000 fans showed up on the side of their concluding stamping-ground engagement is uninterrupted sadder.
The Cougars without delay the losingest band on a two year program in the chronicle of the conclave but if the Huskies learn away them to gibbet about and operating costs it minuscule then we all recall anything can crop up.
