No Such Thing as Satire

Related Topics: Satire, Rhetoric, Blog, College athletics, Joke

My role here at Pistols Firing Blog is pretty basic.

I’m a guy who critiques sports and sports rhetoric through jokes and satire.

My goal is usually to point out how ridiculous and wonderful the whole enterprise of OSU and Big 12 sports is. Sports matter, but not as much as it feels sometimes.

But on a week like this one, following a tragedy like Homecoming, I struggle to find anything to say. Jokes seem wrong, even ones I initially tried to include here as examples.

I know laughter is good medicine, but if I’m honest, I don’t think I have it in me.
