Mark Titus book title

Submitted by Sambojangles on

I haven't been following him on Twitter or reading his blog, but I am aware that Mark Titus has been writing about life on the bench of the Ohio State basketball team. I believe he has been linked to by Brian on mgo.licio.us at least once.

He announced today that he wants suggestions for a title for his book. I only know this because Bill Simmons replied with "American Idle." Can you MGoBoarders come up with any clever, hopefully disparaging titles for the guy?

And yes, I was shocked when I found out they know how to read and write down there.

I've been reading a few of his posts, and I gotta admit, this dude's pretty funny. He's got some great lines in his "Welcome to the Future" post.

About his potential walk-on scholarship:

As far as criteria for the scholarship, it’s pretty simple really. It will be given to the guy who essentially reminds me of myself the most. A majority of walk-ons try especially hard to fit in, are terrified of upsetting the coach, and are always a little uptight over just about anything. Guys like this will have no chance whatsoever at winning the scholarship. Instead, I’ll be looking for the guy who pulls pranks on his teammates, interrupts his head coach midsentence to make immature wisecracks, and knows the lyrics to at least ten Journey songs. Also, bonus points will be awarded for growing a sweet mustache during the season. I think you get the idea. Basically, this has the potential to be the most badass scholarship handed out every year and could possibly evolve into something big enough to have an annual awards ceremony. No matter how hard I try, I can’t envision a scenario in which this isn’t going to be awesome.

Mark Titus is hilarious, despite the fact that he went to Ohio State. I first learned of him from a link on here after one of our players got a trillion this season.

I've read a lot of his blog entries, and his older ones are the funniest. He was actually drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters really recently.

....this guy is hilarious. I've been a reader of his blog for a long time. He antagonizes the hell out of Evan Turner...pretty good stuff.

"With all this sitting around and waiting on my surgery day to get here, it almost feels like I’m on death row and I’m just waiting to be executed (not that I’d know what that feels like, of course). The only real difference between death row inmates and me is that they are held prisoner by steel bars and some guy named Horace with a handgun on his hip and an outrageous number of keys on his keychain, while I’m held prisoner by my own body. I guess another difference between us is that I’m not a pedophile/rapist/murderer, even though I choose to look like one most of the time. The only crimes I’m guilty of are murdering the confidence of my teammates and raping their zone defense everyday in practice with my silky smooth jumpshot. "
