Colorado's 99-year-old megafan Peggy Coppom shows off new drip at throne photo shoot
The offseason is in full swing but that hasn't stopped Peggy Coppom from shining everywhere she goes in Boulder.
Colorado's 99-year-old mega fan recently took on the identity of "drip queen" when she was accompanied by a few members of the Buffs offensive line. She hit the throne dressed in a CU bomber jacket from the Anthony Lawrence Collection, along with Blender Prime shades for a promotional shoot. It was a great moment caught by Well Off Media.
Coppom is one-half of the famed CU twins with Betty Hoover, who passed away in 2020. While Peggy has been solo for a bit, she keeps the memory of her sister alive and well. They've been avid supporters of CU athletics for over eight decades.
Deion Sanders has quickly become one of Peggy's biggest fans, and the two find time to catch up often. She became a featured part of the football program last season with some unforgettable moments, such as making an appearance at Colorado's Black and Gold Spring Game, shouting out for her theme music in the locker room, and dancing with Gronk on FOX's Big Noon Saturday Kickoff show. It's hard not to soak up the energy that Peggy puts out into the world.
Coppom has only missed a few CU football games since her family moved from the high plains of eastern Colorado to Boulder to escape the Dust Bowl in 1939. She became a season ticket holder in 1966, witnessing some of the greatest moments in Colorado history.
Sanders vowed that the Buffs would return to a bowl game with Peggy this year. Not counting the Covid-shortened year of 2020, Colorado's last postseason appearance came in the 2016 Alamo Bowl vs. Oklahoma State.
