WSU Gameday Flag-Spotting, Centennial Edition

WSU Gameday Flag-Spotting, Centennial Edition

Happy Gameday Cougs, and congrats to the Coug flag-wavers for their 100th Gameday appearance!  That’s right, if you caught some of the Gameday show today, you probably saw the “100” on the flag.  That’s for 100 consecutive appearances on ESPN Gameday!  Just a great flippin’ job by all those involved, led by Tom Pounds, founder of the Ol’ Crimson Booster Club.  Keep it up, all of you, and thanks for making it a ritual we all must do on Saturdays – find the flag on Gameday.

What’s cool is that the flag from today’s show in Salt Lake?  They are actually going to try and get it to Pullman for the game today.  Per a post on Cougfan from Tom Pounds:

Skier intends to cut out a little early from the show in order to make an 11am Mountain time flight out of SLC, landing in Lewiston around 11:30 Pacific time.  Skier has already planned ahead as he has his car parked at the Lewiston airport.  If all goes as planned, Skier will arrive in Pullman in time to take advantage of an exclusively reserved parking spot near Martin, complements of Nitz, rush to the field and display the Centennial Ol’Crimson for all to see with all the other flag waivers, including Tom, prior to tomorrow’s game.

Very cool.  And thanks to Will Walker for the screen grabs, appreciated as always.
