A 14-point win over the Cougars somehow felt like a loss, and 12 flags for 130 yards explain why.
What happened
Washington beat Washington State 24-10 in the Apple Cup and left the building sulking. The turning point wasn't a snap; it was the flag count climbing past double digits, 12 penalties for 130 yards, until the scoreboard felt like an accident rather than an argument. One fan called it "one of the most miserable wins I can remember in years." Another wanted accountability: "Fisch better fucking answer for that." The record reads 1-0, which is technically the goal, and nobody in the fanbase seems comforted by it.
