ESPN's College GameDay is the biggest and most popular college football pre-game show in America. This week, the traveling production anchored down in Columbus before No. 5 Oklahoma faced off against No. 2 Ohio State in a highly-anticipated early season matchup.
What you may not have expected, however, is a Blue Jackets flag making a cameo during the show. That's right, the local hockey team got some airtime on ESPN. Take that, worldwide leader!
Shout out to Blue Jackets subredditor knukklez, who got a beautiful screen grab of the flag (see above).
Situated between GameDay host Rece Davis and former University of Michigan star Desmond Howard, the union blue flag made its brief appearance on camera and Twitter definitely took notice. You can't sneak anything past Twitter.
Some nice #CBJ love on @CollegeGameDay ! pic.twitter.com/3AH19UiJlU

It's an acceptable compromise after our failed campaign to get a Blue Jackets player as this week's celebrity picker.
