Club Trillion

Here's a new one.

We've seen pro athletes blogging for several years now. Most of the time it's boring beyond belief. Sometimes you get some good juice however.

Donovan McNabb's mother famously lamented on her son's blog that winning a Superbowl would be "bittersweet" because Donovan was injured and not playing. Sure, that'll win you a lot of points with Philly fans.

And of course there is the Washington Wizards Gilbert Arenas. Arenas has routinely provided fodder for talk radio with comments on his blog. My favorite of these was of course when Gilbert informed the masses that he often spends halftime in the locker room playing online poker. Nice. Doesn't coaching pro athletes sound like fun?

Anyway, now we have a collegiate athlete blogging and guess what? He's one of our own. The Ohio State basketball teams' Mark Titus has launched 'Club Trillion' and thus far it's been fairly entertaining.

Who is Mark Titus?

Exactly.

Titus is a junior guard from Indiana. You've never heard of him because he almost never plays. He might not be the actual 12th man on the roster, but he's definitely a lot closer to the 12 spot then the starting five. Thus the name 'Club Trillion'.

Getting a 'trillion' in basketball terms means you get on the court for one minute and log no other listable stats whatsoever. Thus your stat line reads 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. No points, no assists, no rebounds, no steals, no nothin'.

Mark's latest tale from the road includes getting stuck in an elevator at the team hotel in Minneapolis and parlaying that predicament into some free pizzas courtesy of the hotel. I'm sure the NCAA will be in touch shortly to drop the hammer.
