What is Ol' Crimson?
1.
The name of the Washington State University (WSU) school flag that is flown on the television show: ESPN College Football Gameday (CGD).
Originally the flag was a 3 foot by 5 foot crimson colored field with a white WSU logo. In 2005 the flag size was increased to 5 foot by 6.5 feet. It has been flown on every CGD show since the middle of the 2003 college football season (including Houston 2005 -- it was there).
After each season the Ol' Crimson for that season is retired, having been autographed by all WSU fans and alummu who flew her on the shows, by the CGD show celebreties, and by other WSU sports-related people-of-note.
We saw Ol' Crimson in the crowd behind Chris Fowler on the College Gameday show last Saturday.
