    Cannot believe Tark is gone.... one of the nicest most humble sports figures I have ever had the pleasure of having a conversation with. In the world of college basketball he is a great , a character but having lived in Vegas for 16 years and being an alum of UNLV I can tell you the man is so much more in the desert. He is an icon, a legend and I honestly feel the man who really put Las Vegas on the map for so many other things than basketball. He was truly one of a kind and is already missed.... RIP Tark the Shark

    He may've bit on the towel non-stop, but he never threw in the towel. Loved the guy.

    Tark: 1
    ncaa: 0

    Very odd sight at Dean's funeral yesterday. K in Carolina blue. I tip my cap to him for doing this.
