Hey, I remember him!- All Buckeye fans, and most other fans, know Mark Titus by now. He was a benchwarmer for OSU a few years back but developed a cult-like following for his blog Club Trillion. That cult-like following quickly turned into millions of followers.
The guy is a blog sensation at this point (if you can be such a thing). He has parlayed that success into a contributing role over at Bill Simmons' Grantland.
Whatever you think of Bill Simmons, Grantland is a good place to stop on your daily internet adventure. I stumbled upon this cool piece by Titus overviewing the first weekend of the tournament. It's pretty funny. Give it a look.
Good Overview- The tournament started out a little slow but picked up as the weekend approached. I know that thoroughly enjoyed watching Michigan go down in ball of flames. That game was quickly followed by another epic collapse as Duke went down at the hands of Lehigh. That was possibly the greatest 15 minutes of sports in the past 2 months for me. Eamonn Brennan had a great first look for this weekends games.
OSU vs. Cincitucky- I knew there was some animosity between the Buckeye's and their opponent on Thursday. A lot of that hate came from recent football seasons where Cincy fans tried to troll their way into making the country believe they had the better football program (LOL). I've never really considered Cincinnati as part of Ohio to be honest.
I know that the city is within the state's borders geographically speaking but those slack jawed yokuls never quite fit in. Eleven Warriors had some great info that I had previously forgot about concerning the basketball rivalry in their Monday morning Skull Session.
I'm sure most of you have already read it but just in case, I wanted to give it another shout out. There is some great info there. I'm really looking forward to this game and think it might be a little chippy if you know what I mean.
Women fall in BG- The OSU women's program has been pretty good over the years but this season's quest fell well short. Their performance was pretty disappointing but I was far more annoyed at the traffic jam hell this game caused in the streets of Bowling Green. Is this selfish of me? Yes, but that Jimmy Johns sandwich wasn't going to get itself. I had to park 2 blocks away and hike it for my delicious sub. You're lucky it was worth it parking lot attendant guy!
Urban reminisces- I found this little Q & A article with Urban Meyer talking about his time at Utah. It was a nice little fluff piece but I absolutely loved the answer to question #2. God I can't wait for football. I'm so pumped that we got Urban. Spring football can't get here soon enough.
Hope you all enjoy your Tuesday. Remember to save any weeknight drinking for Thursday. It's tough for me not to have a beer by Tuesday night but I'm making a special exception this week. I'm absolutely stoked (90's word!!) for our tangle with those Bearcats. I'm looking forward to many Twitter conversations with you all. See you then!
