Game-Winning Apple Cup Kick 2008

Dear Apathetic Coug fan,

Shame on you for staying home on Apple Cup Saturday to watch the game on TV. As bad as this season was (and it was historically bad), you just never know when you might miss a classic ending like this one.

Even when there's no snow in the air, magic moments happen in Pullman, Washington. This inconceivable ending washed away every trace of gloom in the heart of every Coug.

It's great to be a Washington State Cougar!

In 1992 I was a senior at WSU and did snow angels in that same endzone after Drew Bledsoe and Shaumbe Wright-Fair led the Cougs to victory in one of the most fabled Apple Cups in its 101-year history.

On November 22, 2008 I took this video with my wife and kids by my side and could only urge the students back onto the field to celebrate like I did 16 years ago.

Go Cougs!

Best Video EVER!!!

I especially appreciate the pan over to the Huskies fans standing in stunned silence. If only their kickers were worth anything... GO COUGS!!!

@17swag17 A field goal from the 28 yard line is a 38 yard field goal. The endzone is 10 yards deep. This isn't the 1940s, the goalposts are in the back of the endzone now. And we were rushing the field because we just beat our biggest rival in what was to this day, the worst season that WSU has ever had. You would storm the field too.

@17redskins17 Dude, the field goal was 38 yards, almost 40. I remember cause I was there, it was without a doubt the greatest day of my life. I remember the 4th quarter drive to get us into overtime so well, I even appeared on tv twice that game. GO COUGS!

I was there and am a student at WSU. Very exciting finish, but the uniforms are ugly, and I'm really worried about the next few years...
