Lennay Kekua, A Hoax!

[Cali_domer]

This isn't the thread to act proud.....about anything........

Lol, now that was perfect.

 

[alohagoirish]

Internet & phone calls--for a young man very inexperienced with INTIMACY of any kind with the opposite sex---a religiously rooted lack of intimacy that many do not understand, makes it highly plausible that he could fall into "love " with this first girl he was truly intimate with about his feelings.

Especially when the hoaxsters have a real deep understanding of the polynesian mind set and likely the morman mindset as well-- also remember the whole POINT of the catfish formula is to drag you in slowly until all of a sudden you are neck deep emotionally into the developing trauma's that are happening to the person you have grown close to.

This is a very clever and very disturbing method to manipulate over the net.

I'm at work so I'm not up to date on everything. I keep getting texts of people "Teoing" Any word on a press conference yet? The longer it takes, I think the worse it's gonna be.

 

[Grahambo]

Honestly, I'm over it already. Te'o was duped, found out, lied about it to cover embarrassment, it spiraled out of his control, and here we sit. I honestly don't care about the rest because its all semantics. I still want him on my team 100 out of 100 times. I thought that before the hoax and nothing leads me to change that. Every team has their demons and if this is ours then so be it. We still didn't cheat. We still didn't break any NCAA infractions. We didn't pay our players or do some sick cover up. There's personal embarrassment and that's about it.

USC is still on scholarship reduction.
Oregon will get hit soon.
Miami as wel.
tOSU has their problem and so does PSU.

All of them are still worse then ND.

Haters are gonna hate but their time will come. It always does.

One of many memes circulating, SIAP

They kick us when we're up; you know they'll kick us when we're down.

 

[phork]

I am just pissed that every news outlet I tune in to has none of the facts straight.

I do have to say, however, if this is linked to USC in any way it will spell the end for Kiffin and there will be a huge mushroom cloud in LA. I could see ND cancelling that series over this.

From my wonderful Bama coworker: » “Play Like Your Fake Girlfriend Died Today” Shirts Now On Sale Barstool Sports: Boston

He bought three for he and his cronies.

When Alabama fans' grandmothers and girlfriends die, it's usually the same person.

[Buster Bluth]

Real football?? Bama is good, no denying that... but lets be real. What a bunch of idiots. ND would smash any SEC team on a regular day to be honest... other than Bama of course. Even then, if ND plays Bama again I think it would be a close game.

Catfish tv show is on MTV right now for those interested

See, this guy on now believes her when she says she "doesn't have a cell phone" and hasn't met her across the state in 2 years...And he's never heard her talk...

 

[Old North State Irish]

Please someone that knows more than I about this part of the situation. What is the deal about the former Arizona Cardinal football player stating that he met "her" in 2011????

as crazy as that sounds, im in total agreement with you Phork. If USC is connected in anyway, I think ND should cut the cord with USC. Fvck 'em.

Some guy I've never heard of was on ESPN today made a good point, as painful as it may be: That ND goes and hires a private investigator to help Te'o out, but doesn't hire private investigators for the arguably more serious Declan Sullivan and Lizzy Seeburg cases because they were afraid of what would be uncovered. Just some food for thought.

Wtf I was neg repped for this? I realize that I didn't go back and check my facts and I guess I was wrong but I was just relaying to you all what was said on ESPN. Nothing more, nothing less. God damn.

I'm pretty sure it was the he "made a good point as painful as it may be part"....

 

[PraetorianND]

"It was harder than it was the previous week," said Te’o, who was wearing a ring at the time of the September interview to remember Kekua. "I was rolling. The feeling of it settling in that, she's not physically here no more. You just can't call her. I talked to my girlfriend every single day. I slept on the phone with her every single day. When she was going though chemo, she would have all these pains and the doctors were saying they were trying to give her medicine to make her sleep. She still couldn't sleep. She would say, ‘Just call my boyfriend and have him on the phone with me, and I can sleep.’ I slept on the phone with her every single night."

I believe Manti but this is just crazy. If he talked to her every single night on the phone can't he just release his phone record or something? I dunno. Ugh I hate this.

 

[BurningRiver]

I'm pretty sure it was the he "made a good point as painful as it may be part"....

But when I heard it my first reaction was that, if it were true, it would've been a good point. I didn't remember if they actually did hire PIs, so I just assumed he was right and posted here. I didn't bother to check if it were true or not. Sorry everybody for dragging down the quality of this thread. My bad, sorry if I ruined your day.

 

[IrishLion]

ND acted 100% as it should have with the Sullivan thing, but I do have a question about the Seeberg case (I'm not trying to start stuff, I really just don't remember the facts).

Didn't ND wait 3 or 4 days to investigate anything about Seeberg's claim?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Have to love espn rolling slow motion video of Manti driving off the practice field in a golf cart after working out today. Schaap was generally upset that he didn't get to talk to Zeke after practice from the Shrine game as well. Sad times for espn.

I didn't negative rep you; in fact, I've never negative repped anyone, but I would say that one difference is that both of those incidents were investigated by appropriate authorities. The purpose of the ND investigation here was to protect the University.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

IIRC, it took NDSP about a week to track down the accused player. They left voice mails for him and stopped by his dorm room during that period, but they obviously weren't very aggressive about getting a statement from him.

 

[BurningRiver]

ESPN must be loving this. This is something that transcends sports, and people who aren't even sports fans are going to be tuning into SportsCenter tonight because this entire episode is unlike anything anyone's ever seen.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Pretty much nailed it. Remember, Napolean was once the best in the business and never made tactical errors.... then Waterloo happened.

Napoleon lost Waterloo because he didn't make any "tactical errors". Look it up. Wellington hid his men behind tiny, almost imperceptible hills in some of the flattest land on earth. The ruse wouldn't have worked if Nappy hadn't done all the right things! Wow, that is twice that we have been tactical taken advantage of in less than two weeks!

Strategic error number 1: always expect the unexpected.

You just got trump carded/mushroom stamped on your five head Bogs.

I have a question (if this was asked and answered earlier I apologize), if Manti did not know that this was a hoax, and he only communicated with her via the internet, how did he know that she died?

Her brother supposedly called him and told him.
