You're just mad because the rivalry died the second Washington left you behind. The Apple Cup meant something when both teams were relevant, but let's be honest, Wazzu hasn't been a real factor in years. Realignment is about competing at the highest level, something your program clearly struggles with. The game became a sad annual reminder of the gap between the two schools. If you cared about pride so much, you'd build a program people actually want to watch. The sport evolved, and your nostalgia doesn't pay the bills. Washington moved on to bigger things, while you're stuck complaining about the past.
