Even the 'official' Editorial Reviews are awesome. :lol:

"Mark Titus knows a lot of personal secrets of mine. If he revealed any of them in this book, I will kick him right in the testicles. I'm not joking."
-Greg Oden (#1 overall pick in 2007 NBA Draft, 2007 1st Team All-American)

"Of all the players I've coached in my career, Mark Titus is one of them."
-Thad Matta (head basketball coach at Ohio State)

"You want me to give you a quote? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You've been riding my coattails for years, so of course you want to put my name on your book to sell more copies."
-Evan Turner (#2 overall pick in 2010 NBA Draft, 2010 college basketball National Player of The Year)

"I haven't read this book and probably never will, but the cover looks pretty cool I guess."
-Mike Conley Jr. (#4 overall pick in 2007 NBA Draft, 2007 NCAA Tournament South Regional MVP)

Bought it on my kindle app for my iPad. 40 pages in and i can't put it down. It's basically the blog without any censorship. It's hysterical. Literally, hysterical.

Indeed it is, some of the stories he has are incredible. I have noticed though, it kind of gives you another view of some of the players that were. I know they weren't all angels, but interesting nonetheless. Luckily I got the last copy at my Barnes and Noble today :biggrin:.

Confessions of a College-Basketball Benchwarmer

An interview with former Ohio State player Mark Titus about his first book, Don't Put Me In, Coach

For a reminder of the fun that can be had in college sports, turn to Mark Titus. A walk-on for the Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team from 2007 through 2010, he straddled the line between real-deal player and fan. As a member of the team, he went along for the ride (at his comfortable spot at the end of the bench), through the highs and lows, but as a fan he was able to step away from the self-serious nature of college athletics, helping to loosen up the team in the process. Titus, now a writer for the Grantland, is coming out with his first book, Don't Put Me In, Coach, a spin-off of his popular blog, Club Trillion. The book, a comic tale of coming to terms with failure, is littered with stories of pranks, jokes, and team hijinks that may turn around that understandably low opinion of college sports. Everybody seems to be having a great time.

I spoke to Titus over the phone, where we discussed his early love of everything Big Ten, the advantage of being friends with Greg Oden, and the equal amount of love and hate he gets from Ohio State fans and teammates.
