sheer potentiality

My prediction for the Apple Cup was 24-21 Washington State. Instead, it was 29-26 Washington. The Huskies won the game in triple overtime by recovering a fumbled backward pass by Kegel.

That’s right. Kegel. Some junior who happens to be the backup quarterback. He was in because Jason Gesser, the finest quarterback the Washington State Cougars have ever had, was sacked and injured.

I’m not bitter about it. Just disapppointed. I really wanted to see WSU go to the Rose Bowl, but that won’t happen this year. The Huskies won fair and square. Though I am comforted by the thought that there was only one thing that allowed the Huskies to win, and that was the injury to Jason Gesser. WSU could have still won the game without him, but if Gesser was still in, the game would have been won by the Washington State Cougars. There is no doubt in my mind that that is what would have happened.

Oh well. There’s still the Green Bay Packers.
