Classic Coony! I remember Coony "chasing" the Cullowhhe 5-0! We would always see him around Bob's! Went to MHD this past year, I don't think the new chancellor, et. al., would even let there be another Coony! RIP my old friend.
Yes, he always had that heavy coat on! HAHA- aww COONEY- I tell people about him that did not go to college with me and they are like WHAT?! haha ENJOY EVERYONE -Kristen
WCU 88-92. I can't believe it! Sorry to hear ole Cooney is passed but seeing this brought back so many memories. I remember seeing him at a football game with a jam box turned WAY LOUD with some evangelist screaming. It seems liike he was always hanging around the post office. Oh, yea, he loved babies too...LMAO!!!
I was at Western from 1970-1975 but the classic Cooney was in 1973 (I think) when during a snow storm he stood at main intersection of campus in front of the Post Office and directed traffic while only wearing a pair of cowboy boots, and a toy gun and holster.
WCU 90-95 and Cooney was already a legend. My favorite Cooney moment was watchng a WCU Baseball game and Cooney was at the game wearing a full indian headrest get up doing the FSU Chop .
He walks up to a lady with a new born and says "Can I hold your baby?" Me and my friends went ape shit and to this day when we get together one of us will say in a gruff back woods Cooney voice... Can I hold your Baby.
He the man! Heard about him from an x - student this weekend and then happened to stumble upon this while having too much time on my hands as usual here in the Whee!Send me back to Ireland! Alan D! :)
OMG!!!!! ROTFLMAO! I got this from a friend. I rember the days...SO FUNNY! One time I there was a concert on the UC lawn, greek games I think, and he drove that John Deere right up to the stage and started yelling at the reggae band playing. Classic...LOVE the Truckin' as well! RIP Cooney. Pz!
So what happened to Jimmy?
