Buffs Nation Mourns Loss Of Decades-Long Fan Betty Hoover
"While we have many great fans, none have been more visible and loved than Betty and Peggy," said CU Athletic Director Rick George.
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – Forever Buffs. The University of Colorado Boulder is mourning the death of one of their biggest fans. Betty Hoover, one of the schools beloved twins, passed away at the age of 95.
Betty and her sister, Peggy, also known as “The Twins,” attended more than seven decades worth of CU athletic contests. The uber and “relentless” fans served as grand marshals at the 2016 CU Homecoming parade, an honor shared by coach Darian Hagan, Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam and Olympians Emma Coburn and Shalaya Kipp.
