Land-Grant University - Beers with the Brewers

This week Adam, Walt, Mark and Chris get a chance to sit down and chat with bench-warmer extraordinaire MARK TITUS! Mark is the founder and author of the blog Club Trillion. His book, Don’t Put Me In, Coach, chronicles his career as a walk-on benchwarmer for the Ohio State basketball team and is on sale now. He currently is a contributor at The Ringer where he also hosts one of the country’s most-listened-to College Basketball Podcast, One Shining Podcast. Before joining the Ringer, Titus contributed to ESPN and Grantland. Ten years on, Club Trillion’s legacy lives through Mark’s ‘One Shining Podcast’, the World Famous Club Tril Homage t-shirt, his writing for the Ringer, and this delicious easy-drinking Amber Ale–brewed to enjoy at the end of the bar or the end of the bench. Cheers to ten years of fundamentals!
