I know this is a football blog, but Jerry Tarkanian deserves a moment of our time.

The legendary college basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian - "Tark the Shark" - died this morning 

Dan Wetzel writes a great piece that encapsulates the man succinctly and in detail (if that's not a contradiction!) for Yahoo Sports. He was, as coach famously said once, who we thought he was...fiercely competitive, win at almost all costs, fiercely loyal to his players, and he didn't care what they looked like, even in the sixties: white, black, green or purple.

This afternoon, chew a towel for Tark.
