Being reported via ESPN guy on twitter. I actually liked ole Beano.
It shouldn't be funny, but it is ironic he died in the first year where ND actually looked fairly legit. He pimped them as national title champs every year, without fail.

Beano Cook told me 1 time on phone that going to night game @LSUTigerStadium was 1 thing he always wanted to do. Sorry he never made it.

My thoughts exactly. Used to love hearing him on The Herd. When Herd would bring up LSU at night, his voice would pick up. Always talked about a night game at LSU with such reverence.

Article from 1982 about Beano... First three paragraphs are GOLD! Seemed like a funny guy...

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."

I hated Beano and his over the top Notre Dame Hyperbole.
Ron Powlus indeed.
RIP Beano!

yeah I was going to ask if ever made that night game

I am very surprised he was only 81. He looked old as frick 20 years ago on ESPN. I assumed he was in his 90's.
I'll be DVRing gameday cuz I'm sure they will have some kind of hommage.
