On Friday evening, Bryan and I embarked on a 315-mile journey from Seattle to Pullman, WA to attend the Apple Cup, an annual football game between Washington’s cross-state rivals, the University of Washington Huskies, and the Washington State University Cougars (and a big thanks to Rich and his lucky wife for the tickets!). In the process, I saw more rolling hills, grain fields, and crimson-covered college students than I’ve seen in my entire life.

I’ve posted pictures from a short visit to D.C. in the gallery, so feel free to go over and have a look. Yes, this is actually my second trip to D.C. this year. I did post pictures from my first trip earlier this year, but they were posted into my Gallery 2 albums, which, as you may know, I’m no longer using. I’ve actually yet to reupload those pics so there’s really only one batch available at the moment, and in any event the pictures from this trip are quite different from the first batch.
Well, we fought valiantly… for the first few minutes at least. The Seahawks’ season came to a screeching, somewhat inglorious halt last night, after a 42-20 thwomping by the Green Bay Packers. The Packers played their hearts out, and you certainly have to give them credit for being–on that particular day–a better football team, but the snow clearly had an effect on the Seahawks.
There’s no doubt that the Seahawks have a tough game tomorrow in Green Bay. They’re not the best team on the road, and it’s no secret that their running game is not exactly the strongest in the league. They’re also facing a team with the second-winningest record in the NFC whose QB has been throwing bullets all season.
