We will never leave those kids on the field alone. ❤️

[@DJJustJayOK]

Yeah I felt that! Spoken like a true mother.

[@RiriLadi57]

That part

[@backtolove]

Naw if I was on Colorado that would light a fire from within 😤.

[@reginaldrodges9358]

DUDE THAT HIT ME LIKE A BRICK!!! I IMMEDIATELY STARTED CRYING!!!!!!!!!

[@sleazemcsleazerson1723]

My mom always said it was a sin to leave games early. Thought it was just a pride thing. It all makes sense now.

[@303goonie]

When Peggy eventually meets our maker, those seats at the stadium should never be sat in again by anyone else. A memorial should be at those seats

[@millizaable]

I don't think she would accept that... but definitely another plaque or inscription, something like that...

[@derrickburwell7777]

A picture of them with the words: "We will never leave those kids on the field alone." One in the locker room, one in the stadium. And, a statue of them, telling the world who they are, near the gate they entered to get to their seats.

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

Excellent idea.

[@tamago11111]

💯

[@NSmith-hh1ys]

They should take those 2 chairs out and build a memorial with them, replace them with 2 different chairs.. They should never be sat in again.

[@jaxjax49]

Coach has my eternal gratitude for showing so much love to the woman who has shown this school unconditional love over the years. The twins are iconic to CU. I wish Betty were still here to do it with her ❤

Wow. Why am I crying right now.😢 So beautiful to watch. “Tired of being a good loser. Happy to finally be a good winner.” God is good. Coach Prime is definitely on an assignment from God. Let Him use you coach.❤

I cried. Couldn't help it.

[@stanleyfontaine25]

Peggy is more committed to Colorado (win or lose) than most people are in their relationships.

[@geeniality4215]

"We will never leave thise kids on the field alone" This should be a rallying cry to all adults and parents across the country. It doesn't matter what the field of play is, we need to stand behind and beside them as they ascend to the next level. 🖤💛

Amen

The government is just waiting for us to leave them alone . Creepy joe

This!!! What we've seen in how coach Prime has embraced Ms Peggy made her part of the team & show overall respect for & to her is who his mother Ms Connie raised Jay Norvell.

[@lasha4585]

Exactly!!! ❤❤❤

[@Annmarie211]

My husband and I met Peggy and Betty years ago at church. You could never meet two nicer, more generous, more special ladies. I’m so glad Coach Prime and the team have taken Peggy into their hearts.

[@Kawale04]

I agree such a great story to have shared with the nation. Regardless if you are on your knees or your feet , it’s a feel good story that you wouldn’t have heard about if you wasn’t a CU fan ( so who cares) . Thanks to all the coverage it’s a story we can all fall in love with.

[@sylvesterhurt447]

“I’m tired of being a good loser”… I felt that on a spiritual level 😂

[@IfbbProRolandcHazard]

I'm tired of being a good looser, I want to be a good winner. Coming from this sweet lady, my heart just melted and eyes watered.

[@mommatia6095]

This content is about, Ms Peggy, allow her this moment. This senior is 98yrs old please allow Coach Prime and Mr Rogersl to give this amazing lady her flowers, this is history for her, she shared 95yrs with her twin sister who now deceased. Sometimes in life we must know when to hold and where to fold. Monumental moment its a shame Colorado has never done a thing for this Gem. She's a beautiful diamond 💎 Momma T Columbia SC

When I see stories like this I just wish I knew of people like this that lived near me. In the end, in the Army, it was all about taking care of people. Godbless you Peggy and Go Buffalos!
