Col͏orado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders continues to inspire his team and fans alike as they gear up for the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio. With star players Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders leading the charge, the Buffaloes are on the brink of achieving a significant milestone. This upcoming game holds immense importance for the program, as they haven’t tasted postseason success since 2004, when they triumphed over UTEP in the Houston Bowl.
Miss Peggy: The Heart of the Buffaloes
In the midst of this exciting atmosphere, Colorado’s iconic superfan, Peggy Coppom, affectionately known as “Miss Peggy,” is set to attend the game. A fixture in Buffaloes history, Miss Peggy has supported the team since the 1940s and has held season tickets at Folsom Field for over 58 years. Her unwavering dedication to the Buffaloes makes her a beloved figure among fans and players alike.
During a recent visit to SeaWorld Texas, Coach Sanders introduced Miss Peggy in his signature style, further solidifying her status as a cherished member of the Buffaloes family. “The Greatest Buff of all time. Let’s give it up for Miss Peggy,” he exclaimed, drawing cheers from the crowd.
In response, Miss Peggy charmed everyone with her heartfelt words: “Thank you all, thanks for being Buff band. We got the best team in the whole nation and also the best coach.” Her enthusiasm is infectious, and fans are hopeful that her presence will bring the luck the team needs as they aim to rewrite their bowl history.
Deion Sanders Goes Above and Beyond
Deion Sanders has gone above and beyond to ensure that superfan Peggy Coppom makes a memorable journey to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl. True to his word, Sanders fulfilled a promise he made before the season began: if the Buffaloes secured a bowl game, he would fly Miss Peggy in style. On Thursday, the legendary Miss Peggy boarded a private jet, proudly clad in her Colorado attire, ready to cheer her team on in their clash against the BYU Cougars.
This special gesture showcases the bond that Coach Prime has developed with Miss Peggy since his arrival in Boulder. Earlier this season, she celebrated her centennial milestone in style, running out of the tunnel alongside Coach Prime during Colorado’s spring game. Such moments highlight the deep connection between the coach and the fans, making the Buffaloes’ journey even more special.
