The Ol' Crimson Booster Club
Gameday Home Depot

Posted Sep 11, 2005

THE LEGEND OF OL' CRIMSON, the Washington State flag, continues to grow. Now in it's third season of appearing on ESPN's Gameday--regardless of location, the elements, or hostile fans--the Cougar flag is a testament to the unyielding spririt of the Cougar Nation.

Thanks to a few brave Crimson Soldiers and the financial support of Cougar faithful, Ol' Crimson has captured the attention and admiration of the college football world.


Ol’ Crimson on ESPN Gameday

In order to insure the continuous flying of Ol' Crimson, a non-profit corporation (in the state of Washington)was formed last year for, among other things, the financial support of an effort to proudly wave the WSU flag at ESPN Gameday sites throughout the nation until the aforementioned show is hosted by Washington State University at or near the environs of Martin Stadium, Pullman, Washington.

Johnny Bley

The OCBC and the flying of Ol' Crimson are dedicated to the memory of Johnny Bley, captain of the 1935 Washington State football team. One of the greatest tackles ever to line up for the Cougs, Captain Bley was the epitome of Cougar Spirit and was the consummate team player.
