Marc Cuban didn’t say. At least not that I can find.

Geezus, its not that hard to understand.

Its not in November.
We no longer get an opportunity to play spoiler.
We are a cupcake/ speed bump on their way to a CFP berth.
Even if we're good and they are not, it has no weight as far as season out comes because a) its early and b) its non-con.

This game has lost all meaning and value that it previously had, save we might make a couple of bucks from TV revenue for being a P4 bodybag game.

Why devalue the Apple Cup by naming this new matchup the same thing when its not even close? Hell, UW hasn't considered us a rival for 20 years - its been Oregon.

You do realize that if WSU beats UW, and or 4 out of 5 of Texas Tech, UW, BSU, Fresno St. SDSU, and goes 11-1, that WSU will get 1 of the 12 CFP spots, and might probably win the first round game before losing 2nd Round game to Georgia, etc.

In that way, sense, the UW game does have meaning, and WSU's chances of beating UW, is about 50.5%. And WSU's chances of going 11-1, going to CFP, if beat UW, is about 53% to 56% to 59% to 63% to 67%.

Ok, while I don't like it any better than anyone else, WSU had had (and still has) ample time to make it a 50/50 stadium. Hell our 50% "allotment is more than Martin Stadium holds. Think on that.
And the series got turned on it's head into a Lumen game, then home and home for the next 4. So 3 for 2 if you want to consider Lumen a home game for the mutts. Would be interesting to know what the financial split is for those home and homes, since muttville holds twice as many fans as Martin.

To the previous post, the series has been 3-12 since Husky Killer graduated. Hard to believe we went 3-1 in the 4 prior years. 4-1 if you count Wulff's first year (part of the 3-12).

Traveling 5 hours on a bus (or pissing money away by flying) to get to a Home game in Satan's backyard is as Ludacris as Speeding through the galaxy in Spaceballs

By Friday you’ll be able to get tix for $30. My Husky brother bought his for like $150 right when they came out. Apparently he didn’t notice all the empty seats in Husky stadium even during the midst of a historic season.

Historic because they haven't been put on probation yet. That is indeed history making.

UW has a much better D than TT and PSU so it will be interesting to see what Mateer can do against them. I think he is going have to stay in the pocket more and be patient. This is going to be a tough early season game.

Not if they drop 8. Although $5 sez they line up in a 3-man line but blitz a LB or 2 in to stuff his runs.

I think saying the Apple Cup no longer exists makes our fan base look like crybabies. As if we wouldn't have done the exact same thing to UW if we had the opportunity to join the B!G without them.

Apparently he set a new NFL record - the highest completion percentage by a losing QB in their first game with a team.

Why anyone is tracking that stat is beyond me...

Useless sports trivia stat, like Kenny Stabler playing football for the Spokane Shockers. Who lays awake at night searching completion stats for new teams?

Game wasn't on TV for me, but I did watch the highlights (below). Not a bad game overall. 25-33 for 257 yards. His fumble was quite the bumble, looked like he thought he had a receiver in the flat and lost it as he pulled back. His int late was deflected, so not really his fault. And down by 12 with 1:50-ish left the game was pretty much lost. Raiders coach taking a lot of justified flak for punting on 4th and 1 from LA's 43 down 6 with 7-odd minutes left. Talk about playing not to win. LA went on a long TD drive subsequently to pretty much seal the game.

There's always someone.

I almost lost it with the idiot behind me. He spent most of the game yelling f-bombs at the field and at someone across the aisle. My 8-year old eventually asked me to switch seats with her because "he keeps saying bad words" (clearly, she doesn't spend much time with me at work). Apparently he was also kicking her in the butt every time he stood up to yell...if I'd known that before the game was over I may have lost my mind.

Worst part was he had no idea what he was talking about. Kept claiming that Parker - a freshman - has had issues with fumbling for years. Poured out a long string of obscenities about the replay reviews, which I could somewhat understand...except that he was most pissed off about the review for targeting Mateer that went our way. Me and another guy pointed that out to him and his answer was something like 'I don't care, get the game over with, I want to go home.' Well, dude....then f'ng go home. We'll all enjoy it more if you're not here.

He really was a great reminder of one of the benefits of watching games from my couch. When I do that, the person yelling at the screen is always right.

His name is associated too many turnovers.

You don't have to be Tom Brady, but having fumbles (it was an issue in Indy too) AND int's isn't going to keep you in the starting role.

He does enough good things to be effective, but he's gotta keep the ball out of the other teams hands.

I saw parts of the LV/SD game. LV O-Line was not impressive. They did not make much of any holes or any type of push for a run game to get established or protecting the qb. They got stuffed on a 4th/1 earlier and that may have played into their decision later on in the game

I don't see the talent difference between UW and WSU moving forward becoming any different than it's been the past 50 years. They've always held massive advantages over us. They've won 70% of the Apple Cups. Last year they were in the National Championship game and proceeded to lose over 30 players and their head coach to the portal/greener pastures. That threat will always be there for them because they play in Seattle. They're not a blue blood. Good coaches will leave them. Good players will leave them.

We would be fools to walk away from the Apple Cup.

I don't think it will be as different as some may expect, but that's mostly because WSU recruiting was near the bottom of the Pac-12 anyway, and was more like G of 5 level with a bad head coach. There is still a massive difference from lower-end but still legitimate power conference level to average G of 5 level. It isn't like WSU could expect to be a dominant program in the MWC or to easily outrecruit the top programs in that conference over time simply due to trying to beat out cities that aren't backwaters, and in some cases are pretty enticing (e.g., San Diego, Vegas), with Pullman. Couple that with the portal and unfettered transfers with NIL money largely powering it and you can expect to see a lot of UW games shaping up as top-15 talent vs. top-65 talent in a G of 5 or similar scenario for WSU. Does this differ that much from top-15 vs. top-45? Depends on how much you like winning 1 out of 8 instead of 1 out of 3. The past decade has pretty much been like that anyway, as we all are well aware.

I wouldn't refer to it as the rivalry's former name anymore. That went by the wayside when they left the conference and tradition behind.

So are we. It's an interesting matchup.
