Apple Cup
Washington State hosts the Apple Cup in even-numbered years. Except for 1954, the Apple Cup was played at Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane from 1950–80, rather than in Pullman. The Cougars went 3-12 in these fifteen Spokane Apple Cups (winning in 1958, 1968, and 1972), while winning the previous games played at Rogers Field in Pullman (1948, 1954).
Since 1982, a Cougar victory, the rivalry game with UW has been played at Martin Stadium, with the Cougars winning just six of the sixteen Pullman games.
