Who put this Blog here??

In my attempt to better understand and get acquainted with this whole blogging thing, I went around the internet and tried to find some blogs that are of interest to me.  While searching around, I came across a blog I completely forgot I was a HUGE fan of.

The blog is called Club Trillion and its written by a guy named Mark "The Shark" Titus who was a walk-on turned benchwarmer turned pop-culture figure at the Ohio State University.

Dude has his own Wikipedia page, no big deal.

The premise behind the blog was for Mark to tell stories about his life as a walk-on at one of the most prestigious basketball schools in the country, which quickly made him a huge sedation among the Ohio State community. People wanted to know what went on behind the scenes with OSU ball, and Titus delivered some of the best commentary while adding his own personal insights. Stuff was brilliant. The name "Club Trillion" comes from the fact that when Mark went into the ballgame, he would try and do as little as possible. When his stat sheet would come back after the game, it would show the minuets played first, followed by all the other statistics. Recording a "trillion" meant you would play at least one minute per game, but nothing else so that the sheet would read something like this 4-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 which would be 4 trillion. 

Pretty sweet, I know. 

Blogs are fun.
