It looks like there might be some confusion about the mascot named "Peanuts." The Peanuts you're likely thinking of isn't a food mascot, but rather a historical dog that was a beloved mascot. Peanuts was a real dog that became a mascot for Colorado State University (CSU) back in the early 1900s. This cute and fearless dog first appeared at a chapel exercise in 1913 and quickly won the hearts of the students and faculty. Peanuts wasn't officially named the mascot, but he was adopted by everyone on campus and even led halftime parades and cheered on the Aggies during football games. He was so dedicated that he even tried to join the military with the Colorado Army National Guard Field Artillery unit, though he couldn't go overseas. Peanuts is a great example of how a mascot can be more than just a symbol – it can be a true part of the school community 🦴.
