octupus25 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I was happy to see the return of #43 Mark Kauk at the Sioux game. I noticed he had been MIA lately and thought something happened. I haven't even been seeing his little hamburgler looking buddy Gretzky. He's an institution at this place and not having him there is a little odd. Does anyone know where's he been?

Oxbow6 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Saw both this past weekend. From the looks of them, Kauk has been eating Gretzky's sub as well as his own when they go the Subway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octupus25 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I love that commerical. I wish I could find that on You tube. Yeah, he needs to drop some lbs or we won't have ol' #43 roaming the football sidelines anymore. The team of Grimace and Hamburgler will be broke up.

Goon Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Dude's got a boiler the size of a large exercise ball! I saw him last night at the Central game and I am a little worried about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxmama Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 who is kaulk anyway The big, and I mean big, guy that you see on the sidelines with the team at football games. He and his buddy Gretzky are always together at hockey games. Gretzky is a tall skinny guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 One word: ICON! I use to shot pool with the K-Dawg and Gretz in the Union when I was in school. Those two are fixtures at UND/GF ahtletics. Plus they have their own Subway commercial...nuf said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxmama Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ive seen him before i just dont know why he is so important around here. I wish I was able to find an article that was in the GF Herald a while back about Mark. He has been hanging around the GF sports world since he was a young boy. He can tell you everything there is to know about the Central and RR rivalries. Scores, players, coaches and probably the plays they ran in a football game in the 70's. I think that goes for Sioux sports as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux and high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 He Seems like a really nice guy to but he need to cut back on the food intake And he'd tell you that you need to work on your grammar. My roommate refs high school football and basketball in the area. Two weeks after a game he reffed in which Kauk attended, he ran into Kauk. Well, more like Kauk ran into him. The Kaukster made sure my roommate knew he missed a call in the game two weeks before-hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich T Rich, I thought that was a good article, and it might lend some good info to those on this forum that don't know about Mark. If you are able to post it, I think many would read it.

You can typically find/see them in between periods on the concourse between Sec. 110 and the student sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "little buddy" is the perfect phrase as these days they really resemble the Skipper and Gilligan. Long live K-Dog and Gretzky, probably the most loyal Sioux fans there are.

SiouxBetcha Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Had the pleasure of talking with Mark "K-DawG" Kauk last evening at the Sioux-DU game. I've come to know Mark fairly well over the years and not met many others who can match his knowledge of the local sports scene. K-Dawg is versed on youth sports and beyond. He attends/supports all he can. Mark is our walking local sports ESPN channel. We are blessed to have him as a mainstay of our community. Mark shared his friend Gretzky has been working alot. Bring back the Subway commercial! P.S. The article in the GF Herald is in the archives titles "One of the Boys" and published Nov 15, 1998. Maybe someone has the article for posting otherwise a $2.95 charge exists to access it from the GF Herald site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxmama Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 This same friend played basketball for Central in the late 80's. Kauk used to call him at home the night before almost every game and ask him "You guys gonna win?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxBetcha Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 K-Dawg and Gretzky back on the big board last night at REA. The Subway commercial revived! Didn't get the reaction Beer Grandma is generating, but it was nice to see the boys making a comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
