Fans Gear up for the 110th Apple Cup

Fans are getting ready for the 110th Apple Cup.

The Huskies are favored to win and have won the last four Apple Cups in a row.

This year, fans told KIRO-7 they expect it to be a closer game.

"I think it will be close. I think it will be a nail-biter," said Butch Ernest, who flew in from Sacramento with his wife to go to the game.

"I think it will be insane. I think it will be fun. I think it will be crazy," said Callie Ernest, already wearing her WSU crimson and gray as she walked the Seattle Waterfront Friday.

WSU is ranked 14th; UW is ranked 15th. If WSU wins, it will give them the Pac-12 North Title and they'd get to play USC for the Pac-12 championship.

Husky fans are hopeful the Dawgs can block WSU's chance at the Pac-12 North Title.

"We're super-psyched and we do have a rivalry because our friends are here from Spokane and they're WSU fans and we're Husky fans. It's going to be a good party tomorrow and a good game," said Kelli Sullivan from Maple Valley, who was buying UW socks at the University Bookstore with her daughter, Karen.

Larry Kalahiki graduated from UW and was picking out a new Husky pullover to wear during the game.

"The Apple Cup is about tradition. You bring everybody home, everybody comes home to watch the game," said Kalahiki.

The annual cross-state rivalry game will be played at Husky Stadium on Saturday at 5 p.m.
