Just an amazing person all around! It's so sad when you lose the ones you love. My heart goes out to you and your family.

For those that don't know, Manti lost his grandmother and a close personal friend at the same time. And Coach Kelly announced he has practiced this week and will play on Saturday. What a great teammate!

so it was a close friend or a girlfriend? Not that it matters because he will be hurting regardless... just curious I guess.

Just to be clear, it wasn't his girlfriend, dating and such, it was a friend of which he was extremely close to.

POST # 1,000

POST # 1,000

My 1,000th IE Post, I wanted it to be something positive, something kind of special, and couldn't think of a better place to put it.

Manti Te'o is the living embodiment of why I love sports. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that Manti had committed to ND. My Father, who is the reason I love the Irish, called me while I was on the escalator up to the second floor of the local Dick's Sporting Goods and relayed the great news.
This young man suffers two life-changing tragedies, and instead of taking the time off, which not a good soul would have faulted him for, he chooses to play. Play and honor the memory of his loved ones, play and support and be supported by his extended family, his team, coaches, staff and fans.
Watching Manti's post game interview, watching the footage of him on the sideline, watching his brothers support him, that is why I love sports.
Sports are a microcosm of life, highs and lows, successes and failures, but throughout, life goes on, there is the next game, next week, next season.
Maybe it's just me, but watching someone overcome some adversity or hardship puts things in perspective.

I wrote in another post how it seemed to me that every bounce, went ND's way last night, just look at Manti's INT Some will scoff at this comment, outside looking in, I might be one of them, but it just seemed like someone who deserved it was getting a little help last night.

Before this gets any longer than it already is, I'll end my 1,000th post with this:
Manti Te'o, you make me proud to be a lifelong Notre Dame fan, Go Irish.

Mods and Posters please read: I have an idea for this thread. I noticed that it says next to Manti Te'o----- "SIGNED LOI"

Is it too early to just simply put

MANTI TE'O (LEGEND)

Thank you for your time

Mike....

This idea got buried in the Kate Upton thread, but I think we should all change our sig's to our favorite picture of Manti. He needs our support now more than ever and this would appease both those who don't want Kate's chesticles on their screen at work and those who agree with me that Manti is an ND legend (which I know you all do). So let's do it. Make your sig Manti.
