LOL - heartwarming Manti Teo girlfriend dying story was a hoax

[tbone413]

ND should have to forfeit games from this past season. The NCAA has to take a stand against teams getting undue advantage from the death of imaginary girlfriends or this sort of thing will get out of hand!

Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. The NCAA will not vacate any wins.

I think that was a joke, tbone.

And I just heard the guy from Deadspin on LA sports radio -- basically it's not a "hoax" and the only questions remaining are:

To what extent Te'o was involved - was he just complicit or was it his idea
To what extent ND was involved - did they let the media run with it because it benefitted ND
Why? Why the hell do something like this and why is Tuiasosopa so freaking weird?

Girl on the radio in san diego this morning said shes best friends with Teo's current girlfriend who goes to St marys right across from ND. If this is at all true....itll be the main story tonight on ESPN lol.

Actually right after. I posted my response I realized it was prob a joke, but I was on my phone at the time and it wouldn't let me edit the post.

But anyways,

I think that this was 100% on Te'o and the only thing the school did "incorrectly" was not break the news to the media back in the 26th of Dec. when they found out. I put incorrectly in parenthesis because I don't think ND was in the wrong by not telling the media about the hoax. This is not NDs story, and they have no obligation, or right to speak to the media.

This is Te'os story, and it's up to him to explain to people WTF is going on. I've been trying to think of a reason why someone would not only make up that he had a GF, but subsequently say she died by Leukimia. I don't buy that he made it up to bolster his heisman chances, as he started talking about her way back in 2010. He wasnt even a blip on the national radar at that point. Even when he said she "died" in October, he wasnt even close to being mentioned as a heisman finalist..

Therefore, I think that he is gay. Out of all the reasons one would have to make up such a fucked up story, being gay makes the most sense..

He pretended that he had a GF, then said that the pretend GF died. Now he can say he doesn't want to date anyone since he is still distraught over her death. He probably hoped that it would be a story for a week or so and then blow over. However he went on to have an all time great season by a linebacker, and ND Started 12-0, so the story blew up. Now he's trying to save face by saying it was a hoax and he had nothing to do with it..I call BS

Now theres a Arizona Cardinal full back, Muaiau or something saying the chick is real and knows her family well lmao. Now im completely confused. This chick is like the hawaiian jesus or something....everyone knows her but no one has seen her.

The being gay angle was put to rest for the most part. The article from the ND student today said it was well-known among students and players that he hooked up with girls all the time.

Can we sue ND for this? There must be a lawyer on here who will take my case.. I feel cheated.. Oh wait after the Michigan game I never watched another minute of ND. Do i still have a case?

 

[TheVictors]

Heh, my nickname -- given to me while in college at UM -- is TBone.


It was after Daymon Wayans character in the 19-- hit, Colors staring Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. The summer before my senior year we did "drive by" shootings with super soakers in my buddy's parent Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan.

We wound up getting pulled over by a cop but at's a whole different story.

I feel like they deceived us after we had to hear about Te'o daily leading up to the NC game after they knew it was BS. There has to be something there.

Yeah, I was just kidding. This whole thing is just bizarre.

It was disgusting how they would bring it up after every ND game. The networks were just as complicit in promoting the hoax as Te'o was. But looking back at what the guy said and did during and after games, it is more than disgusting, it is dispicable!

I agree... I mean I did not watch ND games but we heard it non-stop from the ESPN ND network love fest... I mean it was non-stop tears... The guy already has a second career lined up in Hollywood with the way he can turn that faucet on...

I think this is all hilarious and it hurts no one at all. It affects no one whatsoever. The thing that is real funny is that T'eo is the best thing to happen to ND in over 25 years. What does the university do? He made them a lot of money. Espn is really mad cuz they propped him up so much......good for them, I love it.

 

[dubbsco]

I have to disagree with you about not affecting anyone. This is a black eye for the school. And the more details that come out, the worse it's going to get.

Im talking about us, as individuals, we people in general. I do not care about the ND image whatsoever. Screw them. I would love to hear what Lou has to say, I mean spit, about this.This is so funny. I love how when espn reports something else, the person doing the reporting, is so somber. lol

anyone watch Mike&Mike...just curious what Golic has said about it and if Greenie is attacking the subject or trying not to get punched out by Golic

Yea but that could be a guy sticking up for his friend, saying that he was a player, when in fact he wasnt.

 

[Michchamp]

ok, so he could be gay, or he might be bisexual then, in addition to being a liar, a douche, and an over-hyped linebacker
