Peanuts was the first strip I loved. My affection for it — and for Charles Schulz — has only grown deeper as the years go by. Happy 75th Anniversary, #Peanuts

I told the missus after the game that it felt like the 2007 curse had been lifted. But I think @hollyanderson.bsky.social and The Dean, Hoppy Kercheval, had it right: Winning the Backyard Brawl on his return to Morgantown exorcised some demons for Coach Rodriguez. #hailwv #wvu #cfb
