My first attempt at an Onion-esque piece of satire for my Syracuse website: http://.com/casual-fan-upset-coach-wont-take-his-advice/

All in good fun, I totally value everyone's opinions on the team, I swear!
 
I think I'll take this to heart before blasting what we are doing on the court.
 
Hey, I'm just as guilty as anyone about yelling at coaches through my TV. Sometimes you just have to step back and realize how ridiculous that really is, of course.

Well done!
 
You packed a lot of punch in each sentence, using great descriptive words, and often taking something that would have been funny but bland and just juicing it up a little. My only criticism is that it may have been a paragraph too long. However, it was very good and you may give Nunes a run for his money!!

Do you have much of a following yet? I don't know how people get followings but I will spread the word to my bball loving friends. However, I have to say that none of them read as voraciously as I do, and I can't get any of them to come on this board. I keep enticing...

Keep posting your pieces over here! It's not bad form to do so, is it?

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how to grow an audience. Social media sharing seems to be the big one since that'll get more eyes on it, and the more people read, the more they hopefully enjoy it, the more they'll come back.

As far as posting it here...I've gotten the impression I'm good to keep posting here, so hopefully that continues!
 
I decided to throw together another piece of satire that, honestly, I could 100% see coming true: http://.com/ncaa-probe-blows-lid-secret-santa-extra-benefits/
 
Hey, how about a little more satire to cleanse the palate of that terrible, horrible, no good loss? http://.com/devoted-fan-not-sure-why-lucky-socks-not-helping-team/
