Beano Cook.
RIP to just a great man.
He was one of kind. He was a great Pitt man, but also he was a great guy in general. Great for college football. A true character.

Re: Beano Cook.
This is perfect...
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."

Re: Beano Cook.
Still remember Beano being on Sportsbeat with Stan and Guy during the football season. Always had some good stories.
