Well somebody feels like a jackass for wearing a lei at a couple of home games this year

<---- (that guy)

If it's any consolation, his grandma still died. Besides, it doesn't really take away what he did on field during those games. He was simply in beast mode.

All this really shows is that ND needs to step up their cheerleading game. I don't think any SEC All-Americans are in online relationships..

I thought the same thing. Can't we get our Heisman finalist some real sweet a$&?

Waiting til marriage?

Most Mormons I know do not do the online dating thing. That's more a nerd thing. I do think if a very religious Mormon who only believes in dating LDS girls, if located on a campus with very few LDS girls, or Polynesian LDS girls, may be more apt to look online.

I feel like this whole 12-0 season was a Freaky Friday stunt and we are actually 0-12.

So if he actually talked to her, and at least 2 other people, that means they have phone records. which means these people should be easily found. I am sure Twitter keeps logs, track IPs etc. Something concrete needs to come out and these people need to be found.

No, he meant not physically be in her presence at least once. Nothing to do with intercourse.
Anyways, just a weird story. Hopefully, it doesn't impact his life and ND negatively too much.

I know we don't know all the details, and even though this probably adversely affects Te'o more than the school... just a question (that maybe I shouldn't be asking):

Does anyone think this could have a negative impact on recruiting?

Most people in general do not do the online dating thing. And you could very well have answered your own question.

Ugh, I just don't know what to think. If Teo was in on the hoax, he should go to Hollywood because that acting was incredible.

If Manti was lying he's about to be the greatest media pariah in the history of sports media. Media people get pissed off about a lot. But getting lied to, mislead, and made to look foolish is right at the top.

This seems to be the most likely reality of the situation. But it still wouldn't change the fact that Te'o lied multiple times.

Imagine coming home from work, turning on Sportscenter, and seeing "BREAKING NEWS: Manti Te'o's girlfriend did not exist." Is this real ****ing life?

Yeah but it's lying like the 40 yr Old Virgin lied about getting laid because he was embarrassed.

NFL player marketing agent: Te'o will lose $350K to $500K in pre-draft marketing deals. "His brand just took a dive."

Yea, but why do you necessarily think you need to be in someone's presence? If he doesn't feel the need to touch her, then it's not that weird.

People do this **** all the time.

this couldn't have happened to a better person.. Manti is someone who I looked up to, although I'm older than him.. he's very in touch with his faith and passionate about what he believes in, and for something like this to happen and tarnish his image is probably more of a disservice for us than it is for him because it may hinder his impact on society.. maybe I'm overreacting, but it's how I feel.. I still have love for Mr. Te'o
