Yoiks, and Double Yoiks! Long-time voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and inventor of the Terrible Towel, Myron Cope passes away at age 79. His voice was the type that made you laugh and cringe. He will be missed. ESPN has a place where fans can express their condolences.

Although he never mentioned Cope's name, so this was a double-post waiting to happen.

Debo is (somewhat) correct... I have never seen it in print... my ear always heard a K. But note I typed YOIK and NOT YoiNk.
