Apple Cup

   

The Apple Cup is an annual college American football game between cross-state rivals the University of Washington (UW) and Washington State University (WSU), the two largest universities in Washington State. The game is played in November in either the UW's Husky Stadium in Seattle or WSU's Martin Stadium in Pullman.

Washington State being famous for its apple crop, the game was christened the Apple Cup in 1962, and the Apple Cup trophy has been awarded to the winning team ever since. The first game occurred in 1900 when the UW tied the then Washington Agricultural College. There have since been 97 games between the schools. As of 2004 the UW has won 63 times, WSU 28, and there have been 6 ties.
