Elvis Robinson Is The President Of Club Trillion

Mark Titus has made himself (relatively Internet) famous as the author of Club Trillion, a blog that details his life as a bench-warmer for the Ohio State men's basketball team. The name is in reference to "a player who has played one minute without recording any other statistic. The term takes its name from its appearance in a box score, as it reads as one followed by twelve zeros."

College basketball is full of these trillionaires; our Iowa Hawkeyes blog, Black Heart Gold Pants, highlights Devan Bawinkel and his "12 trillion" -- playing 12 minutes without recording a single statistic. But that's not even a record: Nate Pomeday once recorded a 14 trillion, in 1998.

Amazingly, that doesn't even come close to a trillionaire high: "Since 1996-97, the longest by any Division I player is a 31 trillion (!) by Elvis Robinson of Mississippi Valley State on 1/3/2001 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff."

Thirty-one minutes, and not one single stat. Not a foul. Or a turnover. Nothing.

We have no idea how that could possibly happen. Like, even if someone were shaving points, that guy would at least be hoisting bad shots and turning the ball over. Hell, we could literally sit down at the top of the key during a game and probably get a rebound or two to fall in our laps.

Send that man a Club Tril shirt, Mark Titus.
