Pullman, Wash., is finally making its College GameDay debut, as ESPN’s travelling college football pregame show will visit Washington State on Saturday for its game against Oregon (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX).
Cougars fans’ long-held hopes of the show coming to campus have finally come true, a culmination of a years-long grassroots connection between a college football Saturday staple and a program that rarely spends extended time in the national spotlight. Washington State’s flag, also called Ol' Crimson, has appeared on the broadcast 216 consecutive times.
So how did the Wazzu flag become a College GameDay tradition?
