ICYMI: The week on Front Row

Longtime ESPN college football analyst Beano Cook passed away earlier this week in Pittsburgh. Beano was 81.

Carroll H. “Beano” Cook was one of the sport’s most memorable commentators. In addition to college football programming, SportsCenter and ESPNEWS on television, Cook was a fixture as a guest on ESPN Radio and had a popular podcast on ESPN.com.

In the video above which aired this morning on College GameDay, commentators Chris Fowler and Lee Corso salute their great friend and colleague Cook.
