SEATTLE -- The Apple Cup is rarely this significant.Sure, the rivalry has gone through plenty of years where either Washington or Washington State had a significant stake in the outcome. But rarely has there been so much riding on this game as there will be Friday when the No. 6 Huskies and the No. 23 Cougars meet for the 109th time.This is just the sixth time both teams are ranked entering their rivalry week. Its also the first time in 35 years that a shot at the Rose Bowl -- at minimum -- will be at stake for the winner.Its a lofty place for both programs and has fans on each side in agreement: this could be the biggest Apple Cup ever.These kids have been all in on like every game, so to say, OK, this ones like . I dont know. I just want them to prepare like they have and go over and compete like they have, which I know they will, Washington coach Chris Petersen said Monday. We know its like all this hard work kind of comes down to this. But its really hard for me to say, like, `OK, now were really all in on this. I just think theyve really been invested this whole year, every game, and I think thats what youve kind of seen. But itll be exciting.Its not as simple as it was 35 years ago when the then-No. 17 Huskies beat the No. 14 Cougars 23-10 in Seattle to claim the Pac-10 title and a spot in the Rose Bowl. The winner on Friday still must win the conference championship game over the Pac-12 South winner to assure themselves of at least a spot in Pasadena.That 1981 game was the third time both schools were ranked. The other games:- 2001: No. 16 Huskies 26, No. 9 Cougars 14- 1997: No. 11 Cougars 41, No. 17 Huskies 35 (win sent Washington State to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1930 season)- 1972: No. 20 Cougars 27, No. 17 Huskies 10- 1936: No. 6 Huskies 40, No. 20 Cougars 0The past two weeks have taken a bit of luster off the meeting.Washingtons loss at home to Southern California and Washington States setback at Colorado diminished some of the significance.Washington State (8-3, 7-1 Pac-12) no longer has a path to the Rose Bowl via just a win over the Huskies; the Cougars only hope for a trip to Pasadena would come through winning the Pac-12 title game.Washington (10-1, 7-1) lost any wiggle room it had in the College Football Playoff rankings and must beat the Cougars and win the Pac-12 championship game to have a shot at being in the final four.I didnt think we played together particularly well, Leach said Monday of the loss to Colorado. (I) thought we should have played together better. I thought that was the case team-wide.The beginning of the week wasnt without distractions for the Huskies, who were dealing with the departure of reserve cornerback Darren Gardenhire on Monday. Gardenhire first posted on his Instagram page that he was transferring and Petersen later confirmed that Gardenhire is no longer with the program. Petersen said the decision was a bit of a surprise.Gardenhire appeared in 11 games and had 13 tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery.Difference in philosophy is probably the best way to put it, Petersen said.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Swell Bottle Schweiz Kaufen .

Cloud9 and Team SoloMid just found a major backer in their quest for more sponsors, and it happens to be the biggest video game streaming site on the internet.Twitch announced Friday a new partnership with Cloud9 and TSM that will help both major esports organizations court non-endemic sponsors. Such sponsors are brands that do not generally sell gaming-oriented products such as computer peripherals.Our goal is to help introduce more sponsors into the space through broad reach that includes media and now sponsorships, Twitch chief operating officer Kevin Lin said in a statement. The Amazon-owned company will use its resources to help create new experiences for viewers that should appeal to Cloud9 and TSM fans as well as make a better case to incoming sponsors. Twitch is currently experimenting with different models and ideas, such as the recently introduced Twitch Prime subscription feature.Were thrilled Twitch will be representing TSM for future sponsorships, TSM chief exrecutive officer and founder Andy Reginald Dinh said via a press release. Dinh feels that TSM is a brand that can mesh with a lot of other companies, and having Twitchs backing can help seal these deals.Along with this sponsorship deal, Twitch will be tthe exclusive streaming platform for Cloud9 and TSM.dddddddddddd Twitch is a market leader in video game and esports streaming in the West particularly.Famously, for a time, both Curse -- pre-Team Liquid merger -- and Fnatic had exclusive streaming partnerships with South Korean site Azubu. But as soon as that contract was up, both organizations quickly moved back to Twitch, where the audience was much larger. OpTic Gamings Matthew Nadeshot Haag also signed a streaming contract with MLG.tv with the expectation that his Twitch audience would follow. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and his viewership plummeted. Its something he cites as a major regret, as it divided the Call of Duty community between the two platforms.Cloud9 and TSM are two of the biggest esports organizations in the world and may be attractive to new, non-endemic sponsors who are looking for a sure bet. By officially playing the middleman between these teams and such brands and providing the technology to further their reach, Twitch appears to be cementing its role as a significant force in esports in the U.S. and abroad.
