The Apple Cup football rivalry matching Washington and Washington State surely isn't one of college football's most heated or hotly contested. But it's the college game's most distinctive, matching two schools disparate in population, geography, climate, curriculum offering and political persuasion. Washington holds better than a two-thirds victory majority in the 125-year series, but that doesn't necessarily dull the appetite among fans on either side for a spicy rivalry marked even at its inception by disagreement and debate. Now, with the greed-driven, drastic realignment of college conferences, the future of the Apple Cup is far from certain. Too Good To Be Through examines each game in the long series, but more than that, it looks behind the curtain at the relationships involving Cougars and Huskies that make this one of the nation's most underrated rivalries. Based on that alone, the book makes a compelling case for the series to continue.
