Thirty-Zip

The waiting is over. For the cup to return to its rightful owners, anyway.

We are going to have to wait a little longer to beat the Oregon schools, go to a bowl game, to win the Pac X again and get back to Pasadena, but it's a start.

The Huskies demolished the Cougars last night 30-0.

On a crispy gray November night in Seattle the Dawgs regained a little of the swagger that propelled them to National Championships (1991), Rose Bowl Victories (the most recent in 2000) and too many exhilarating college football moments to mention here on a Sunday morning when I have so much to do. But that might make a good project for later when the weather REALLY turns.

We had some fun Cup week with the usual Coug jokes, and I will admit that last night there were times I felt a touch of compassion for the hapless felines in crimson, but that didn't last long. We are trending upwards and I like what I see as far as their maturation as a team. We have some exciting young players and the next few years will create the opportunity for a wild ride back to the top.

Where we belong.

It is going to take a lot of hard work. It will come one game at a time. You gotta believe and ya gotta give it up for the greater good of the team. Sometimes ya gotta snarl, bark more and wag less.

The dark gloomy wait is over. The Apple Cup is back in Seattle.

Thankfully then, no more jokes until 2010.

OK, OK, one more:

What did the Cougar linebacker say to the bus driver on his way back to Pullman last night?

A transfer to Washington please.

Kathy came all the way from DC to watch the AC with birthday-boy RG.
Started in Pioneer Square with burritos and Modelo especial.
Where's the bus?
At Husky Stadium
In section 7, row 7. Lucky for us.
