BOULDER — They have been as much a part of Colorado Buffaloes Athletics as black and gold, Ralphie, Folsom Field and the Flatirons.
As CU Athletic Director Rick George said Wednesday, "If you know CU Athletics you know Betty and Peggy."
Indeed. For roughly eight decades — yes, 80 years — "The Twins" have been rock-solid devotees of all things CU. Through thick and thin, good and bad, national championships and difficult times, their support and love for the Buffaloes has been unwavering.
They are, of course, Betty Hoover and Peggy Coppom, twin sisters whose devotion to the Buffaloes has been legendary among Buffs faithful.
