Seahawks vs Patriots

Let's Go Seahawks! 

WSU Scores Huge Apple Cup Win

 In an exciting game that went down to the wire, The Washington State Cougars beat the Washington Huskies 24-19 in the 2024 version of the Apple Cup. 

This was a very satifying win for the Cougars as they were left behind along with Oregon State, while the Dawgs joined the Big 10.  While other schools joined The Big 10, Big 12, and ACC, the Cougs and Beavs were left on their own, allowing a new version of the conference, which will come in a couple of years.

 Go Cougs!

Pac 12 Expansion Announced

 

Rumors have apparently been confirmed, as Pac 12 officials have announced the addition of four new schools.    I guess numbers no longer matter in the names of college conferences. 

From the Mountain West, original members WSU and Oregon State, will be joined by Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Colorado State, all from the Mountain West Conference.

According to Pac 12 writer Jon Wilner, two more school will need to be added to the conference by the summer of 2026.

Speculation is that UNLV may join as fans look for desirable travel destinations, now that the schools from Los Angeles and Arizona have left. 

Lionel Richie Concert 2023

This came up as a Facebook memory.  The Lionel Richie concert.  Earth, Wind, And Fire opened up the evening and did an amazing job.

Trump vs Harris Debate

Trump and Harris started the debate with a handshake.  

Given the animosity between the camps, it was a little surprising

This came up on my Google Photos.  On September 11th last year, we attended the Lionel Richie Concert, although Lionel's music is not heard in this video, here are some visual highlights.

 

Early Apple Cup 2024 Or Is It

 The Apple Cup, most of our lives or as far as we can remember, has always been in November. It was close to the last game and often a must win game for either side as conference positions and bowl games are to be decided.  This year, Washington and WSU are no longer conference rivals.  The game will be this Saturday (September 14th, 2024) and what used to be a fun week of jokes about either team, has now turned to bitterness.  

Last year, Washington announced, along with Oregon that it was leaving the PAC 12 for the Big 10.  This along with defections of other schools, left the PAC 12 to crumble. Many Cougar fans will probably boycott the game, possibly for good.  

I plan to watch and root on the Cougs, happy to see some form of this tradition to continue. 

Go Seahawks!
