While college football rivalries across the country take a hit, an earlier Apple Cup is on deck

SEATTLE (AP) — Aggie Clark and her partner agree on just about everything 364 days out of the year. They go their separate ways, howefver, when the Apple Cup rolls around. The college football rivalry game between Washington and Washington State will be played for the 118th time this weekend, and it turns out that Clark went to Washington while her partner is a Washington State graduate. “You always look forward to the Apple Cup,” Clark said. “It was that end of the year stamp on the season, and you worked up to it every year. And, it was a great way to end the season.” Clark fondly spoke in the past tense because the Apple Cup is no longer the culmination to the regular season and Pac-12 Conference slate for both teams.
