Manti Te'o Tragedy

[arrowryan]

I would completely understand if he didn't play on Saturday, there is more to life than football. But I think he will play, he loves his team like a real family. Manti Teo is the face of Notre Dame University, you can't really argue that either

Irish Sports Daily ‏@ISDUpdate
Manti: He lost some people very close to him. It's taken a toll on him. Players have supported him. He'll play Saturday.

My condolences to Manti, his family, Lennays family and friends. ND nation is all praying for you and your family.


Mods thanks for cleaning this up

To clarify #NotreDame LB Manti Te'o personal losses: Grandmother passed, then hours later, a close friend who was battling leukemia died.

@NDatRivals: On Te'o, heard that he lost his grandmother and his girlfriend this week. Hence the questions about him playing this week.

Sometimes, moments of pain and suffering are better lived with family. His teammates are obviously his FAMILY, South Bend Chapter.

What a great kid. Thoughts and prayers to those lost in his life, to Manti and all involved.

how sure are we thats his girlfriend? she has some pictures on her twitter of her and another guy with his shirt off. Either way sad to hear and ill pray for him.

On the brian kelly radio show, they said his grandma and a close friend had passed away and that he has been at practice. brian said he will be playing saturday.

I don't see why it matters if it's his gf or a very close friend.

It doesn't hence either way

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Right now football is probably giving him just a couple of hours where he doesn't have to think.

YOur right it doesn't matter either way any time you lose someone close it is hard to take.

Perhaps you failed to read where I said either way its still sad. Its important not to speculate on someone's passing though. Especially if he has a girlfriend.

Praying for him, his grandma, his girlfriend, and his family.

I am willing to bet he plays the game of his life Saturday.

God bless Manti and may you play in honor of the loved ones you losed this week. I pray that Our Father gives you strength to get passed this difficult time.

I have Twitter. What's happening and where?

 

[greyhammer90]

My entire twitter feed is just people tweeting #WeLoveNumber5 over and over and over. It's small but it was just a pretty cool gesture from ND nation. Hit me right in the feels.

Of course.

Manti is a special young man I'll tell you that much! God bless him! I would be a little worried if I'm an MSU player on offense this weekend. I think he's going to have the game of his life Saturday night! This young man is the epitome of what Notre Dame represents! May god bless him and his loved ones!

 

[GreatGolson]

Manti is going to blow people up tomorrow night, watch out Bell, there is one big bad LB who needs to let off some steam

I have never seen a bigger leader on this football team than Manti. God bless you Manti, you are truely an amazing human being. I am sorry for your losses.

 

[JT_IRISH]

Tragic. I can only imagine what he's going through.

 

[Irish#1]

You just know Manti being the person he is will find the strength to get thru this and honor his grandmother and girlfriend in a special way. God Bless.
