Closing The Dorm Room Door

Well, we've been observing with much amusement — and a little fear — the ongoing aftermath of SeventhFloorGate (not the catchiest name, we admit). As nicely wrapped up by Sports Media Watch, it appears to be a big moral issue for Pat Forde and ESPN.com, and that's about it. No one else seems to be picking up the story too much, save for a quick AP story. The song itself — which is back available for download, by the way, after being down most of the day — is just a song, after all, and it's old (and frankly, not that bad, we don't think). It's just funny; that's all.

That's little recourse, of course, for poor Kyle at Miamity, who had a nice little funny blog that today turned against him. People are posting his number on the Web, making threats of violence and, worse of all, telling him to transfer to the University of Florida. His attitude about this has been pretty healthy, we think, considering he just made a funny post and watched as the whole thing just mushroomed; he even has a mock (we assume) suicide note on his site now. Hang in there, Kyle, seriously; we and the boys are pulling for you down at the station.

By the way, Tavares Gooden has little, to no, flow. Rest of the song is good, though.
