At WVU, tradition brings us together. 💛💙

This December marks 50 years since the iconic Peach Bowl victory, take a trip down memory lane and relive this special game and era of Mountaineer football.

From welcoming back Bowden Era alumni to creating new memories on campus today, the Mountaineer spirit connects generations.

Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer.

Members of the Bobby Bowden-era WVU Mountaineer football teams reunited some 50 years after the 1975 Peach Bowl victory.
