On a lighter note.... so as not to sound so depressing. The Apple Cup is the trophy for the winner of the rivalry series... which pitted my school Uni of Washington (The Huskies) against Wash St. Uni (The Cougars).Which we won of cos. :)

Ode to APPLE CUP!!

Twas the end of the game, and inside the house,
Lil’ Danny was sitting with his foot in his
mouth.
Tears flowed swift from his sad little eyes,
but to anyone smart it was no big surprise.
Those cougars all thought that the game was won,
but those darn Dawgs were just leading them on.
UW again walked away with it all,
and the cats would stay and argue the call.
So how many straight? Is it 6 or 5?
Oh, I forgot, cougs can't count that high.
Either way, it is getting old,
seeing cougars killed by purple and gold.
You wanted that trophy, but what can you do?
Why don't you try sticking it up your WAZZU.
And now it's time for us to say,
"goodbye, goodbye to the crimson and gray."
Try again in another year,
but for now just go back to drinking your beer.
