Deion Sanders is going viral for his special bond with 100-year-old Colorado superfan Peggy Coppom, who’s been cheering for the Buffaloes since the 1940s. Their friendship started when Sanders visited Peggy after becoming head coach and invited her to run onto the field at the 2023 spring game. Since then, she’s become a big part of the team’s journey. For Peggy’s 100th birthday, fans sang “Happy Birthday” during a game, and Sanders brought her to his postgame press conference, where he surprised her with an announcement of a custom apparel line created in her honor. He also dedicated the 2024 season to her, promising a bowl game—and the team delivered with a win over Cincinnati. Although Peggy couldn’t be there, the team called her right after to share the moment. Now, Sanders is flying Peggy to the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, where she joined the team’s pep rally. There, he called her the greatest Buff of all time, showing just how much she means to him and the Colorado community.
