Apple Cup 2009 Score, We know all the reasons why the Cougs are going to kill on Saturday – Washington has improved considerably and has Jake Locker, while the Cougs are terrible and horrible game on the road .

Looking for a reason why the Cougs might actually be able to stay within the estimated 24-point difference tomorrow? Here is the best I could find.

For all the problems we have on defense, I argue that the biggest problem Cougs’ is the general, there is the nature of the offense.

It has been organized by director Spike Lee, who once worked with Michael Jackson. And apparently, the public celebration had to be moved, because of the expected crowds, which jumped from the estimated 2,000 to 10,000.

Rev. Al Sharpton will apparently deliver a prayer at the party, whil President Marty Markowitz will present a proclamation declaring August 29th as Michael Jackson Day in Brooklyn. Then DJ Spinna will play all Michael Jackson hits.
