Ron Cook on Pitt’s March Madness chances

[sonofabit]

Cook standing at the bar at the cranberry restaurant called Domenicos. He probably gets his college hoop info from the other 10 regulars who know nothing also. I think he is a lazy research type when it comes to writing unless it’s a steeler piece on a particular player. He blows

They call him ‘Norm’ at that establishment.

Yeah Cook is a Pitt hoops fan. He just doesn't know much about basketball. That's part of the problem with generic all-sport talk shows, like how are you going to follow NCAAF, NCAAB, NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL, and maybe even other stuff with any level of expertise? Many of these guys go a mile wide but an inch deep (usual exception for the NFL which they all seem to know we'll.)

The problem with Cook is that he gave up trying at his job.
Idc if he likes pitt or not, I think he does like pitt kind of
But he's just as informed as Joe blow down the street because he truly doesn't care about that or much anything.
Just reminds me of anyone riding out their time at the company until it makes sense financially to retire.

RIP Beano.
Only true Pittsburgh sports media that would unapologetically pump up his beloved Pitt.

Didn't he say Ron Powlus was going to be the best QB ever?

Cook doesn't love anything anymore.
He needs to retire.

He loves Jamison

Lol they have lives outside of pgh sports. That's just strange to say.

I was quoting/responding to a previous post, in that context it wasn't strange. More strange that you defend Cook

I'm not sure about that, may have but after reading his book I have a deep appreciation for his love Pitt.

Zeise was there, I saw him at the half walking around and I chatted with him.

I was going to mention that. He was talking to the PG beat writer on the radio when I was on my way to the game and when the interview ended he told the guy that he would be seeing him at the game shortly.

Sorry Ron Cook is not a Pitt fan.

Football? No. Pitt hoops? He was clearly a huge Dixon guy, I think he just pays even less attention to basketball than before, which is not much.
