Mark Titus is not well known for his basketball prowess (he is a walk-on at Ohio St.), but he is an Internet legend.
Titus is the author of Club Trillion, a blog founded by himself as well as fellow bench warmers Danny Peters and Kyle Madsen.
Club Trillion is a very humorous blog, in which Titus not only pokes fun at himself for being a bench warmer, but uses a unique sense of humor to make everything he writes pure comedic gold.
Club Trillion gives readers a true genuine view from the end of the bench, something that you can't find anywhere else, because all the focus in college basketball is on the guys who are actually productive members of their teams.
Despite being a walk-on, Titus is actually not a bad basketball player at all, scoring over 1,000 points in high school, but he has definitely found a home on the college basketball pine.
His career highlights include grabbing his first defensive rebound against Iowa as a sophomore, and hitting his second career three-pointer against Presbyterian (also as a sophomore).
However, none of that detracts from how great the blog is, which currently has had over 1.7 blog views since November 2008.
The Blog has been featured on local TV, as well as ESPN.com and Bill Simmons' Podcast.
Basically Club Trillion is one of the most wildly entertaining blogs on the Internet, and I highly recommend that you check it out, I think its great that we see a walk-on get some serious recognition, because a lot of times they are just as interesting as many of the stars we see in today's game.
From Club Trillion (on how the blog got its name)
"When the time came for us to get in, there would usually only be 1 minute remaining in the game and after sitting down for 39 minutes, we really had no interest in trying to be all that productive.
"So we devised the plan of trying to get the "trillion" which occurs when we play 1 minute and do absolutely nothing that would appear in the box score, thus making our stat line say 1 minute played followed by a bunch of zeroes.
"I know what you are saying to yourself right now. You are saying, "That is side-splittingly hilarious. These guys are probably just a comical party waiting to happen." You are absolutely right."
We're going to send you the most entertaining Ohio State Basketball articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
