CougCenter, a Washington State Cougars community

Washington State's 2012 football schedule was released today, and here it is.

In Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins, WSU is facing its biggest challenge since the Cardinal came to town last month. In fact, what WSU is able to do with him could be one of the deciding factors of the 2011 Apple Cup.

Here's a little bit of the most recent Cougar Sports Weekly newsletter, which included this main piece as well as a 2011 Apple Cup preview.

Authors Brian Floyd and Jeff Nusser wrap up Washington State's performance in the Apple Cup and against Kansas State, then preview Wednesday's big game with Gonzaga.

In the last of our series of memories, we look at the fallout from the Cougs' last Apple Cup win, in 2008.

The last time the Apple Cup was played in Pullman, WSU beat Washington in dramatic fashion -- overtime. Relive it here.

The 2004 game was notable to some because it broke a WSU string of six losses to Washington. But we fondly remember it for a different reason: An Apple Cup take on the JibJab classic "This Land," featuring the game's coaches.

Washington State wide receiver Marquess Wilson was so explosive earlier in the season that he'd often force defenses to resort to interference. Whether he can return to early season form will be important on Saturday in the Apple Cup against Washington.
