SteelerNation mourns a friend. Myron Cope, inventor of the awesomely cool and pitifully imitated Terrible Towel has died. In addition to bestowing the greatest team and fans in sports with the equally great Terrible Towel, Cope was the voice of the Steelers.
He was their broadcaster starting in 1970, and continued in that role until 2004. It makes me a bit sad that I never lived in Pittsburgh, and therefore never heard a game called by Myron Cope. I can refer to archival material, but I'm sure Pittsburghers would tell me that's not the same.
Farewell Myron Cope - and thanks for the Terrible Towel....long may it wave.
