The Apple Cup for football 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. The game is played in November in either the UW's Husky Stadium in Seattle or WSU's Martin Stadium in Pullman.
With the 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 2005 UW has won 63 times, WSU 29, and there have been 6 ties. Ties in bold

For many the game simply symbolizes an increasing high stakes rivalry of East vs. West Washington, the predominately high income, Western Washingtonians vs. the predominately lower class and middle class Eastern Washingtonians. According to WSU fans the most Cougars three favorite games where a 1992 WSU win (which then Washington State quarterback Drew Bledsoe considers the best game he ever played in) which was played in the snow and as many Eastern Washington residents love to joke about, the UW football team played like Seattle drivers in the snow (a team that was the reigning co-national champions as well). The other was the 1997 come from behind win over the Huskies which gave the Cougars the Pac 10 Championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl. The Huskies most recent thrilling victory was UW's 2003 triple overtime win over the Cougars in Pullman. Near the end of the game WSU's star quarterback and Heisman trophy candidate Jason Gesser fell to a game ending leg injury (which obviously had an affect on his performance in the Cougars Rose Bowl game vs. Oklahoma), leaving three year backup QB Matt Kegal to a a miserable overtime performance. The big stir around was the fact that the Cougars only previous loss that season was to Undefeated Ohio State (the eventual National Champions), many media source projected that a Cougar win could propel #3 WSU over #2 Miami (which was playing sloppy against lower ranked Big East teams at the time) give them the spot in the BCS National Championship game, UW fans grin at the idea of ruining WSU's Championship hopes.
