From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peggy Coppom (born November 19, 1924[1]) and Betty Hoover (November 19, 1924 – August 5, 2020[1]) are identical twins best known for being superfans of the University of Colorado Buffaloes. The two were known as the "CU twins" and started attending games in 1940.[2]
The two were born in Walsenburg, Colorado in 1924 to Maple and Lester Fitzgerald, and grew up in Haxtun before moving to Boulder in 1940.[1][3] While growing up, they would dress identically and wouldn't leave the house if it wasn't all the same.[4] They graduated from Boulder High School in 1943.[1] Both attended the University of Colorado, but left after a year and didn't earn degrees.[4]
