Cougars WIN APPLE CUP 2005

Another year in the books, and it couldn't have come any sooner for Cougar Fans! With our first and only Pac-10 win coming in the Apple Cup, it was definitely a tough year to be a COUGAR! Granted, if you are only going to get one win this is the win all Cougar Fans want, even if it is against a horrible Husky team. We now have a Apple Cup winning streak, hard to believe since it is the first one we've had since 1982/1983 were we got back to back wins. With such a promising begining and so much speculation that the Cougars would be Bowl bound come December it was a very disappointing season for Cougar Fans.

One bright point was having the Space Needle painted in the wonderful colors of CRIMSON & GRAY! As part of a fundraising competition the Cougar Faithful came through and donated over $97,000 and won the rights to have the top of the Space Needle painted with the Cougar Logo for the week leading up to Apple Cup along with the Apple Cup weekend. Of course the weather did not cooperate, the fog was so thick you could'nt see 200 ft up. Oh well, we know we won and that's what matters!!!
