I would prefer not to make my full opinions public (or on PM so dont PM please) but I can say almost certainly Manti was catfished and hoaxed, but also exaggerated about his relationship. I talked to a couple of news stations today but they were not interested in hearing my story which is essentially the truth IMO and were looking for info to incriminate Manti.

As cynic as this is, and not saying I believe any of the guys that have stepped up and called out the anonymous locker room weasel is that person.

But if you're willing to come out and throw a teammate under the bus like that basically and then hide from it behind an anonymous source... I'm sure that same person for example would not hesitate to tweet something like KLM or goodman have posted just to cover his own a$$....



I hate this.

As Greg Bryant put it simply...

Apologies if this is uncharitable, but my first thought was Brian Smith.

I thought this immediately as well...

I don't want to think he would do that to a teammate tho. His beef was all with Kelly. I am going to keep assuming in my own head that it is an imaginary player that PepperOnSports created until proven otherwise and not worry about it.

I just watched the tv show for the first time. It's messed up. Way crazier than I thought it would be and this is after reading about all this Teo stuff for 2 days.

I can't say sh!t for certain, but based on what I have read on this board and on the news-this is my take as well.

Are you a reporter? Student? Close to Teo? An Insider? I guess I'm wondering why a reporter would talk to you....

From what I've seen/heard they've been prowling around campus all day talking to students taking opinions for news.

Especially negative opinions.

He's a student and one of the few of us here who is actually known face to face by other members. I took the liberty of reposting one of his earlier posts tonight (it's above yours in this window) which explains why reporters DON'T want to talk to people like him.

Did you guys read it?

It basically says exactly what Swarbrick talked about during his press conference. They just put an edgy title on the article to get more views. There is no new info in it.

I guess I'm clueless, he had her hold a sign with MSMK scrawled on it. Any clue what that means?

No offense to anybody else but jimmymac has become my favorite poster. Solid info by Jim and what he has said was pretty much the conclusion I came to after sifting through the BS.

Respect jimmymac. Beer on me when you're in D.C.

More than 100% sure that Manti dated a girl from St Mary's at the end of last year from at the latest November.

I know who she was too. Not personally, but indirectly through my best friend and his co-workers.

Definitely appreciate your input. I've felt the exact same way based on everything I've heard/read. It's very unfortunate a reporter won't give you the time of day. Backs up my hatred for the media who is only looking out for their own agenda. The truth doesn't get ratings. Spicing up a story does. It's terrible.

He's hardly the most recognizable name of those who played with Te'o 2 years ago. He's just made some offensive comments about the program in the past and burned some bridges already.

First thing I did was check his twitter that day. There's a handful of guys from that team who have ganged up on current players. Call it bitterness, or whatever you want, but it's been pretty obvious at times.

I just don't get the hate on Te'o at this point. Clearly he needs to speak, but crap like "Draft Stock plummeting" ? There have been kids with a lot worse issues than Te'o. Clarret anyone? In the long run, because of rookie contracts, he isn't going to lost a lot. Its the guaranteed money of being a top15 or top20 pick thats the big deal.

Bitterness over the my players/Weis players comment I'm sure. Te'o rallied the team and they probably felt betrayed.

Yea. Alot had to do with those guys being soft and having no "swag" too. It doesn't take a detective to figure out this team has a different mentality than year's past. I think those guys know it and feel offended that people (players) think they were soft and this team has attitude.

Not to change this thread into an I hate Brian Smith thread. But clearly I'm not the only one who thought this.

Anyways, I'm getting over this whole thing already. Teo, Ronaiah (sp?), and everyone involved need to speak out about this. Nothing criminal was done. No one is going to jail. People just want the truth. At this point I don't care what it is. Just someone say what really went down over the last few years.
