    Beano Cook (1931-2012)

    I'm trying to remember when I last heard him on ESPN or ESPN Radio. I want to say on Gottlieb's show a couple years ago.

    May he RIP, but to be honest, I was never all that impressed with him. He famously declared his confidence in Ron Powlus winning not one, but two Heisman Trophies, back when such bravado was not standard issue, as it is today. But it was more than just that. To me, Beano was basically a shill for midwestern football in general, and Notre Dame in particular, and offered few real insights that I felt I could ever have confidence in. I'm not saying he was a bad guy or anything, and he could be "colorful," but at least in the last 20 years or so I'm not sure what substance he really brought to the table.
