Why do you think the players don't like cook enough to be a captain

by tanfan! 01/09/15, 04:13 pm

Here is a guy that has lead them to come from behind victories in the Rose and Cotton and yet the players don't want him to be a captain. Weird.

by **Rocinante** 01/09/15, 04:17 pm

Because you touch yourself.

by **Turtleneck** 01/09/15, 04:17 pm

They like him just fine.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 01/09/15, 04:20 pm

My guess is the other players that were voted captain are more outspoken and vocal towards the team. Cook seems like the dude who will get in your face when you fuck up or something but not exactly "rah rah" in front of everyone like Cousins was.

Cook is a silent assassin, man. Love me some Cook.

My theory is that Cook is not a bible thumper

by **Tim Wakefield** 01/09/15, 04:27 pm

Because he's a douchebag

by **steveschneider** 01/09/15, 04:27 pm

I thought it was BS the guy is flat out a winner and probably the best Spartan QB of my lifetime.

not a bad theory, actually

Because he's an asshole.

I heard he was an alien.

Doesn't the dude wear a cross around his neck?

Cook plays better when he can do him. Worry about everyone else is not his style. He's too carefree maaan

I think Blanch is right. Cook is not a captain because the chickens are not in the coop and Dale forgot about Maggie's birthday before he left for Spain.

He did attend the Christian Academy of Louisville.

By the way, he is not a captain because he is not playing at MSU anymore.

Maybe he wouldn't piss in a condom for Max Bullough.

Speaking of pissing in a condom, when does the tradition of kissing the 50 yard line at Spartan Stadium begin?

Cousins started the tradition of Saluting the Spartan. I hope Cook does this his last game, too.

If you started this thread on rcmb, how many downvotes? Lol

Legit question though. I think they like him a lot just they like the other 3 more.

by **NigelUno** 01/09/15, 05:04 pm

I think he probably just finished 4th in the voting.

He was 85th, Nigel.

by Guest 01/09/15, 05:17 pm

Who would he replace? We've got pretty strong Captains in my opinion.

by **Floyd Robertson** 01/09/15, 05:36 pm

Because 23-3 and cause don't rock boat

by **steveschneider** 01/09/15, 05:47 pm

Andrew Maxwell was a captain.

Connor Cook is not a captain.

WTF???????

by **Giant Moose** 01/09/15, 06:45 pm

The only reason I'm sad about Cook not being named a Captain is because we miss out on some good pirate jokes.

"Personally, I could consider it (the season) a success because the way I look at it, I'm lucky and blessed enough to still be playing this game at this level,'' Maxwell said during his Tuesday press conference.

The captain compass is upside down this year, and it was definitely upside down that year.

This is probably the biggest slight to Cook since he was benched in the 4th QTR vs. ND for Maxwell.

Good thread, will read again...

Why don't you folks let Cook decide how he feels about not being captain.

Hmmm. I had never heard him talk about it once unlike Cousins

“Absolutely no doubt in my mind he could have been a captain,” Harris said of Cook after Thursday’s final practice of preseason camp, and after learning teammates had voted him, fifth-year senior defensive end Shilique Calhoun and fifth-year senior center Jack Allen the 2015 captains. “If we had four captains, he could have been the fourth captain. He’s on the leadership council, he’s a leader, he’s the leader of the offense. He commands the huddle. Being the linebacker and being that close to them when they huddle up, you can tell his presence. And people feed off of him. He’s incredibly competitive out there, he gets the guys in the right places. And he has a fantastic command on this offense and this team.”

Clearly #Tanfan is outraged. Steve is a little upset, too.

by MasonGuy 01/09/15, 09:05 pm

I wanted to be upset until I realized I wasn't chosen as the captain...again.

The headline was a good attention grabber though. Someone should start that on the RCMB
