The tag line for The Tickr goes a little something like this, If you can’t be a professional athlete, you might as well blog like one. Which is why Mark Titus is our hero.

Mark rides the pine for Ohio State’s basketball team and loves every minute of it. Not only does he love every minute, or lack there of, he’s blogs about them. Mark’s blog Club Trillion is a collection of thoughts (and epic videos) from his view at the end of the Buckeyes’ bench.

As Titus has explained in numerous articles, “A trillion is when you play one minute but don’t record any other stats. So when you look at the box score you see a ‘1’ to the far left followed by a bunch of zeros – just like the number 1,000,000,000,000.”

Here’s a couple great tidbits from Club Trillion:

After dropping a game to Butler last week, we’ve bounced back and won our last two games by 30 and 16 points. Our first victory came against the Presbyterian Blue Hose and even though they might have the single greatest team nickname in sports today, I think everyone can agree that their nickname would be much cooler if “hose” was spelled differently. Maybe it’s just me, but the thought of a prostitution ring being the backbone of the Smurf Village economy is much more interesting than some blue tube your grandmother uses in her garden to water her geraniums.

On Saturday, our record dropped to 7-2 as we lost to Butler in what many people were calling “The Battle of The Burg”. By many people, I mean that absolutely nobody referred to it as that until I typed it out a few seconds ago. The reason the game was dubbed as such is because it featured two alums (err…featured one alum and involved another) of Brownsburg High School in Gordon Hayward of Butler and yours truly.
