SPORTS WEEKEND 11/22/02 2:58 AM Page 2 2 | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2002 SPORTS WEEKEND THE DAILY EVERGREEN ’Twas the day of Apple Cup WSU vs. Washington rivalry evokes “Night Before Christmas”-like expression Hannah Herbig Sports Weekend was the day of the Apple Cup, when all through the Palouse ’Tthe fans were getting ready, missing the game was no excuse. The uniforms were hung, by the closet with care, in hopes that the game soon would be there. The Cougars were arising, out of their bed, while visions of the Fiesta Bowl danced in their heads. And the fans in line, decked out in crimson and gray, bundled up tight, in the cold of the day. When out on Martin Stadium there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter. Away from the bench I flew like a flash, grabbed my spirit sticks and began to bash. The sun glazed on the new-fallen snow, gave the luster of midday to players below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but our mighty Cougar Butch, and our players so dear. With the little helmet car, so lively and nice, I knew in a moment it must be coach Price. More rapid than Huskies, his players they came, And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name: Now Gesser, now Trufant! Now Bush, now Darling! On Basler! On Green! On Dunning and Derting! To another first down, to the end of the end zone! The UW Huskies, we will dethrone. To their every touchdown, we will reply, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. So on the field, the path they flew, with the book full of plays, and Coach Price, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard in the air, it could be heard through the Palouse, I swear. The cheering and screaming of each Cougar fan, students and alumni, and even the newsman. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, down the field the Cougars came with a bound. They were dressed all in crimson, from each head to each foot, and their uniforms were all marked and colored like soot. A football in hand as they flung Huskies off his back, and he looked for the pass from our Heisman quarterback. His eyes — how they twinkled — his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His feet were quick as he dodged to and fro, and the face of Neuheisel was as white as the snow. The end zone he saw it, it looked so near, when all of the sudden, two Huskies did appear. CATCH SOME CULTURE APPLE CUP WEEKEND!! He looked to the left and he looked to the right, and sighed in relief when teammates came in flight. And I cheered when I saw it, the Huskies they tackled, they fell to the ground, looking all dazzled. A wink in the Cougar’s eye, and a nod of his head soon let me know I had nothing to dread. He paused not a second, but went straight to his work, and as he ran to that end zone the crowd went berserk. HOLLAND/NEW LIBRARY MUSEUM OF ART/WSU And holding that ball in the air, the Huskies froze, giving a nod, up the Cougar fans they rose. And the score was final, the Apple Cup was won, and down the fans all flew to the field with the sound of the cannon. And I heard it exclaimed, as Huskies ran out of sight, Cougars fans were all yelling in the heat of the night. “Look who has won, the score is true,” “Forget them damn Huskies! Forever WAZZU!” Copyright © 2002 WSU Student Publications The Daily Evergreen Board. All WSU Student Publications articles, photographs and graphics are the property of the P.O.

    Coach Mike Holmgren January 12, 2007 (On the status of the team…) “I think we are as prepared as we could be. We have some things we are going to do in Chicago tomorrow, but the physical part of the practice is over. I think the attitude is good, we’re prepared to play a really fine football team, we know that, but we will give it a go, we’re ready.” (On the status of Darrell Jackson and DJ Hackett…) “Those will be Sunday decisions. They did not practice as you know, and they are going to have to show me on Sunday that they can do something. But I am hopeful that I will have one or maybe both of them on Sunday.” (On how this team is different than the one that played the Bears earlier in the season…) “Well, some guys are going to be playing that didn’t play that first game. Some guys are going to be playing at different positions. From a practical standpoint, that is real. I think in the playoffs, when you are thinking about the finality of playoff football, I think probably both teams in their minds, may be a little different than a regular season game, but I am glad we have a couple guys that can play that didn’t play in the first game.” (On how the special teams practice went this week…) “I think it went fine. That is a situation where we, I referenced it earlier in the week, where you are having to sign guys to come in and play, and you are having to move guys up because of different situations, we’ve lost a couple key guys on special teams, but we’re counting on the new guys to come in, fill in and do their jobs.

    Washington State at Washington Post-Game Quotes Husky Stadium Nov. 29, 2019 Washington Head Coach Chris Petersen Opening Statement: I’m really happy for the seniors, there are only so many groups of guys who can go through here and say they never lost to their rival. We played good team ball today, our defense did a great job once again, playing that ‘bend and don’t break’ defense, it’s about points and not yards. We forced turnovers, and they got one too but that made it a lot easier on us. We did a good job holding the ball, dinking and dunking, running the clock, and I’m just proud of how our kids finished. Did Washington State do anything different strategically from past games? They run the same offense every single game, and they do a great job of it. I thought our guys were patient and tackled well, I knew that was going to be a big key. Their guys are slippery and hard to tackle, but we did a good job of playing to that. How do you think Jacob Eason bounced back today? I thought we took a step forward with him. He set his feet a little better, he had some good balls. It is still hard against those ones that are really open with a chance to score. There was a lot of progress there for him. That is what it is about, progress and moving forward. Why did you have so much success going to your tight ends? We have good tight ends.

    HUSKIES Heritage the Apple Cup Dogs and Cats

    Heritage HUSKIES Heritage The Apple Cup Dogs and cats. Could there be a more natural rivalry? Huskies and Cougars. The annual Washington-Washington State matchup is definitely one of the best rivalries in college football today. Up for grabs each year is the Apple Cup, a trophy sponsored by the Washington State Apple Commission and presented by the state’s governor. The series dates back to 1900 when the teams played to a 5-5 tie in Seattle, but only since 1962 has the winner been awarded the Apple Cup. Washington holds a 61-27-6 record in the 94-game series, and is 29-11 in Apple Cup games. Like most rivalries, each game is a new chapter with unpredictable results, regardless of records, mo- mentum or history. It is a game based more on emotion and determination than scouting reports and talent. Though the schools are on opposite sides of the state, creating a geographic split among fans, the annual meeting splits the state in other ways — some- times between members of the same family. Such was the case in 1990 when Husky freshman Travis Hanson waged a personal kicking battle with his brother Jason, the Cougars’ All-American kicker. But while individual stories give the Apple Cup its The Apple Cup trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the game between Washington and character, its enormity and magnitude come from the Washington State. The Huskies lead the series 29-11 since it became known as the Apple Cup. number of times the game has determined Rose Bowl fate for either team.
