'09 HI LB Manti Te'o (Notre Dame Man)

[GainesvilleIrish]

Still, 255 and a 4.5 is pretty damn solid.

Manti will lead us to a BCS Championship next year.

I didn't investigate the poster much but I really hope he is only 10 years old and wants to have a dream of getting Te'o. Otherwise the poster is a pretty big dumb- ss

Let's pretend for a second that this has an ounce of truth to it. (I know it doesnt, but just for the sake of argument) Are they not aware that to transfer to BYU he would have to sit out a year? So not only will it never happen, it flat out couldnt happen.

‎"Whether you're in Pop Warner, high school, college or the NFL, at the end of the day, it's still football. It's still the game that you played with your friends in your backyard. It's still the game that you played in the parks. It's still the same game. So that love, that joy that swag that you have when you were little, carry that over to college. Sometimes you're lost in this whole college environment and big stadiums, faster players, you lose the whole point of the game. We just play football. We just line up and get to the ball"
-Manti Te'o-

Amen to that. That's how I play.

Baaahahahahahaha I like the responses he got.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Nix to Manti on twitter:

"i had a great last year with you so lets finish it off right against Stanford...#DoTheBestWeCan"

Haha this could be taken two very different ways.

Nix to Manti on twitter:



Haha this could be taken two very different ways.

and let the rampant speculation and hearsay BEGIN!!!

NOOOO!!!!!

Not surprised but this is still tragic. It's probably in his best interest.

 

[TerryTate]

That is not what the message meant.

Stop overreacting.

 

[calvegas04]

Would prob be best for Manti not to enter the draft after this season....

 

[BeauBenken]

What did it mean though? lol

 

[koonja]

Clearly it means that Nix is transferring.

 

[KEGGLER719]

What did it mean though? lol

I THINK (am hopeful) that Nix meant "this past year"

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I believe Mr. Nix was just messing with people because Manti was retweeting some stuff from people asking him to come back another year.

 

[irishog77]

I think what it actually means is that passing on Tommy Schutt was a mistake; Kiel > Mauk; DGB should be at the top of our list; Ben Koyack, despite no basis whatsoever, will end up being pretty good; and Keith Marshall's tweets mean he will come to ND.

At least that's what I inferred from that message.

 

[jimmymac]

There's no way Manti retweets that if it means Manti decided already to go pro... If Manti does go, it will be on his announcement, not a retweet of a teammates

 

[GBdomer]

I just dont think him and Kelly see eye to eye after kellys comment who knows though.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Oh lord...the tweet means absolutely nothing people.

 

[WaveDomer]

This place needs the serenity prayer badly.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference."

People worry about way too much stuff here that you either don't have to worry about, or can't change anyway. Just enjoy the season and the football. If Te'o stays, he stays. If he goes, he goes. Just enjoy regardless.

FYI: this prayer can be used anytime you think a recruit is decommiting, someone is transferring, getting in trouble etc., etc. etc.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Clearly it means that Nix is transferring.

I thought Nix was leaving early for the draft?

Actually i heard he's replacing Mayock as an announcer, they're just going to put a mic in his helmet.
