Mark Titus (pictured, with a fan) is a junior guard for Ohio State who has logged one minute of playing time for the Buckeyes so far this season. While he may not be All-America material on the court, his blog, Club Trillion, is easily the best athlete blog I’ve ever read. That’s right — Rod Benson, Paul Shirley, even Gilbert Arenas: not as good.
I’ve spent a good chunk of my morning going through the archives, and here’s a typical passage, from the team’s intrasquad scrimmage in October:
I spent a majority of the scrimmage talking to two 8 year old kids… Drake and Jake explained to me that the funniest thing ever would be to put a Sweet Tart in my water bottle. I told them the funniest thing ever could probably be found on YouTube. Jake then told me that he has a locker room pass and I told him I wasn’t impressed in the slightest because I have a locker room pass too.
Anyway, without getting too rah-rah for Titus, I recommend checking out the whole blog. It’s chockful o’ deadpan delivery, self-deprecating humor, and lobbying for the adoption of short-shorts. And he’s even got excellent grammar and punctuation, which is way more than I’ve come to expect from an Ohio State student. Or a blogger, for that matter.

Ummm…is that fan the “git er done” dude?
Yeah. Who knew Larry the Cable Guy was a doucheb…err Ohio Stae fan?
You gonna suck his dick too?
Obviously none of the three fuckers above bothered – or are literate enough – to read his blog. That guy’s a genius.
“Out of every 100 words, how many do you think your fans can understand, Larry?”
0.5
I don’t know what’s going on here. Something related to Ohio State is making me laugh…might be time to kill myself.
Well they did make me laugh the last couple of bowl games.
