Depending on how old you are, you may or may not recall the Washington State Cougars football season of 2005. It was a maddening season for us fans, as the Cougs would jump out to a lead nearly every week, only to stumble down the stretch and lose heartbreaker after heartbreaker.
The one exception to this was the Apple Cup.
But I (happily) digress.
Before that game, here’s a quick synopsis of the weekly ulcers Cougar fans suffered:
- Led Oregon State 30-13. Lost 44-33.
- Led #12 UCLA 38-21 in the fourth quarter.
