Rock Me Like An Extreme Weather Pattern

Well, it might be easy for Larry Coker and his Miami crew to hide from us, but it's not as easy for them to hide from ESPN. (For now.) Now that the moralists at the worldwide leader (and the AP) have picked up our bit about the Miami football team's rather , all kinds of heck is breaking loose. Everyone's wondering if Miami's reputation of being a place for troublemakers and miscreants has returned (it was gone?), Coker is shutting up and the university is officially investigating. Expect Bob Ley to be frowning about this within the week.

We'll ignore that coincidence of this story "breaking" the day after we posted it and instead focus on poor Kyle Munzenrieder, the Miami student who runs the Miamity.com blog. He ran the original item on his site and, as one might expect, he's now getting hammered for it on campus. His original post is now a blatant plea to avoid an ass-kicking, and the AP story, just to be mean, quotes him at the very bottom of the story, including not just his name, but which dorm he lives in (and which floor). Hang in there, Kyle. Double-lock the door. And maybe leave for Thanksgiving early. Just in case.

(By the way, if you're not seeing the fun that The Mighty MJD is having with this story, you're only cheating yourself.)

(UPDATE: The kid is lashing out at ESPN.com and Pat Forde for making this into a bigger story than it is. He's on firm footing until he says that Forde would be a better journalist if he had attended Miami's journalism school. Umm ...)
