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.

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!
