The tradition began in 2003 at a GameDay show in Texas. Tom Pounds, a WSU alumnus, drove to Texas with the flag to convince the show to come to Pullman. At the time, WSU was in the midst of a nine win season. The flag, christened Ol' Crimson, grew in popularity. [...] Twelve years later GameDay still has not stopped in Pullman. The flag has become a nationally recognized symbol representing the fan base that will never stop its love affair with its football team and school.
