Washington State University lands ESPN's College Gameday after 15 years of in-person lobbying

ESPN MediaZone

Since 2003, WSU flags have been shipped around the country for alums to display on College Gameday in hopes of the university one day landing college football's signature pregame show. That day will finally arrive on Saturday, when College Gameday originates from Pullman, Washington for the first time. The WSU flag has been on display for every College Gameday show for the past 15 years, something that the ESPN show has pointed out and even celebrated in a featurette airing last year when the WSU flag was flown for the 200th straight episode.
