Beano Cook, thorn in side of Iowa football coaches and fans, dies

[Cosity82]

Talking crap about a dead guy is cool....

This. Lighten up. Hawk fans carry grudges worse than knitting circles. RIP Mr. Cook, I couldn't care less who you picked in a regular season game 27 years ago or whatever minor slights some fans have perceived.

Beano was a pompous azz, who's knowledge level was matched by his narrow-mindedness... a classic Notre Dame azz-kisser. Him being dead doesn't change that.

I don't know. But I can't wait to hear your old people dying trend theory.

"The fact is I don't hate the Big Ten. What I do resent is the arrogance"

--Beano Cook

Ironic considering his lovefest for da domers.

I carried no grudge against Beano. He sucked consistently to the end.

Normally I would agree with you.

For Beano, an exception can be made.

He was the first football talking head I can recall. One of the first such on TV. Bill Jauss dying yesterday, from the Old Sports REporters on TV show..that was also another guy I loved to watch on a trailblazing program.

I guess you answered my question.

Section136 must be Beano's son, or secret boy toy.

Never found that slob beano to be insightful, in touch with reality, or entertaining. I never understood why he was on the air.
Ditto lou holltsszh.

Supposedly he was so funny. I just found him to be old and cantakerous. Seems like he's been 81 for the last 30 years.

"When Beano Cook, the newest member of ABC's college football announcing team, was the Pitt sports information director, he got a call one day from a woman asking for a copy of the Panthers' football roster. "But lady," Beano replied, "there are 120 guys out for the team right now. You really oughtta wait three weeks, till we make the cuts and are down to 75 or 80 kids. Otherwise, it's really a waste of your time."

The woman, however, was adamant. She needed the roster. Pronto. "But why?" Beano asked, dreading the hours it would take to round up the name of every tackling dummy cluttering up the practice field. "Because," she said, matter of factly, "I want to sleep with everybody on the Pitt football team."
Beano gasped. "Well," he said, clearing his throat, "in alphabetical order, starting at guard...Cook, Beano.""
