APPLE CUP: Need some help caring about this weekend?

by Jeff Nusser on Nov 19, 2008 4:14 PM PST

I gotta be honest. I was having a hard time getting fired up about the game on Saturday, for the obvious reasons.

Then I visited UW Dawg Pound, and it was like I was suddenly hooked up to one of those defibrilators. Duly jolted, I remembered why I hate every last one of those bastards* and hope they lose every game in every sport from here until the end of eternity. I feel rejuvenated.

In what has become a debacle of a football season, if we can somehow figure out a way to win on Saturday, I will take as much joy in cementing their winless season as any Washington State University athletic accomplishment in my lifetime. It would feel that good.

They deserve every last bit of misfortune that comes their way just for being the pompous jerks that they are.

Screw them.

Screw them all.

* Erika, if you read this, I don't hate you, since you're family and all. (Even though you did buy that hideous shirt for my son.) And my dad? He doesn't really count, since he paid for a significant portion of my WSU education and buys my son WSU gear.

But Drew? Yup! There was nothing more fun than watching him drink away his sorrows last year. I look forward to that again on Saturday.

I would be bitter too...

If we were losing constantly to every team with an ounce of talent in both basketball and football. Especially if we had such highly touted recruiting classes, that always fail to live up to expectations.

I've had a hard time getting fired up to

But I’ll be in Pullman for the game and I’m sure once I see that purple clash with a sea of crimson in the stands, I will be ready to go.

It's all in fun

It is an Apple Cup tradition!

I actually root for WSU 11 games a year which of course makes you hate us more!

Good luck on Saturday!

I know it's meant to be in fun

But I still hope you never even sniff success for the rest of your mortal life.

Too funny...

So I went over to Dawg Pound to see what you were talking about. Holy crap. Not only is the content the usual Husky drivel about “Coug’n it”…. brilliant & original, by the way… but equally astounding was the utter lack of cohesiveness, punctuation, and spell-checking. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the fellas at CougCenter for furthering the perception of WSU as a legitimate educational institution. Always well-written, intelligent, and original. Wow. I want WSU to win so freaking bad on Saturday, just so I can see what they put up on that site in response.
