Deion Sanders adores Peggy whom he met at her home when he initially came to Colorado as the Buffs HC. This is what their kitchen table discussion sounded like —

I’m Peggy. Are you Prime?

That’s what they call me.”

Do I call you that or—”

Call me anything you want.”

How about good-looking? That’ll do.”

Thus was born a beautiful relationship with the oldest CU superfan! Along with her late twin Betty Hoover, Peggy has attended over 3,000 basketball, football, and Olympic sporting events at CU since moving to Colorado in 1940. The CU’s “Twins” were inducted into a new Legacy Wing in the Hall of Honor at CU in 2022.
