The Apple Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of an American college football rivalry game played annually by the teams of the two largest universities in the U.S. state of Washington: the University of Washington (UW) Huskies and the Washington State University (WSU) Cougars. It is traditionally the final game of the regular season and takes place on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving at Husky Stadium in Seattle during odd years, and WSU's Martin Stadium in Pullman during even years, but with college football season extending, the game is often played at a later date.

Famous quotes containing the words apple and/or cup:

—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.”
