SG Mark "The Shark" Titus (Official Thread)

So the guy who has leveraged averaging 4.3 seconds per game over his basketball career at tOSU (No, I did not do any statistical analysis. I made that number up.) into a career has decided tOSU fans (who helped make his career) are the worst in the world? If it were not for tOSU fans supporting him, especially early, does he really think he would currently have the career he has? How much experience does he have with the other fan bases?

And no, I am not defending the idiots in tOSU fanbase. But as has been mentioned earlier in this thread and many other threads tOSU has the largest fanbase in the world. Which means we may well have the largest number of idiots. But the largest percentage? Not necessarily. But we appear to have the largest number of former walk-ons who never saw the court except in meaningless time and who have turned that meaningless time into a career and are now taking pot shots at the fans who supported them. (Talk about a run on sentence.)

Now get off my lawn!

I saw where Twitter/X turns 20 this year. My bent has always been the dumbing down of society due to the advent and growth of social media. On a day-to-day basis the idiocy is on full display.

Oh look at me I’m a social media influencer. Well as far as I’m concerned these people can fuck all the way off.

I like the cut of your jib sir!

His point makes no sense. Yes, Ohio State fans care more about football. Duh. But Ohio State fans aren't asking for and don't expect the basketball program to be Duke or Kansas. They just think it's ridiculous for the program to be like the 8th best team in the conference, which it is currently

Titus goes overboard on the critique, and it's silly to be mad at the fans. Yeah, there are a lot of idiot fans, but everyone has idiot fans online. You have to remember with social media/Barstool, their job is to get attention. That being said, I think it's completely legitimate to question the support Diebler has gotten from the university and with NIL. I am a believer that OSU has not had the right approach to the transfer portal in men's basketball and it has really hurt the team the last two years at least & it's been a combination of scouting/evaluation misses and not having funds to land the best transfers. Hopefully the planned addition of a GM can make a difference, but obviously they need a new approach to the transfer portal.
