Support from my girlfriends family. Twitter accounts or is he lying?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 17, 2013 -> 01:51 AM) Oh, and apparently Brian Te'o was the source for this nugget, not Manti, or so says the reporter from the South Bend Tribune who wrote the story. His brother was apparently at her bedside when she died. Teo said he met her several times. He then "told ND" on dec 26 that it was fake yet spoke about it before te BCS title game. That's a lot of lies for no reason if he was really scammed.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 10:09 PM) If it was all to cover up his sexuality, why say that she died? That makes no sense. Why wouldn't he say that they broke up? It just doesn't seem logical. A lot easier to keep someone a secret if they are dead I guess.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Agreed, but the press Conf was still absurd There was no reason for it. The guy is done at your program, why are you lying for him? And how did they throw this together including an investigation faster than Declan and Lizzys cases. It makes them look terrible.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) I think we all know this. No one is really disputing it other than HH, who apparently will do anything to protect his beloved ND and their players. I've seen in more than a few places that this is a precursor to him coming out of the closet.

http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2012-...rish-head-coach Manti is either lying today or was lying then.

Teo said his brother called him from her bedside when she passed. Was that an online bedside?

Notre Dame apparently hired a firm to investigate this? That's more effort than anything they did for Lizzy.

When his parents said they met her, they meant online too?

In case there was ever a question that Nd would cover something up for their football players it was just answered.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:55 PM) He's going to allow Mantei to answer that, but he's saying now that Mantei meant "met her online" when he used the verb "met." So on the field after the USC game is now code for online.

How did his brother find out about her "death" and then tell Manti?

Whose hand did he touch at the USC game when they exchanged phone numbers

Who was he on the phone with for 8 hours a night?

Once again, why did he continue the charade if he told ND on Dec 26? He answered specific questions about her before te BCS title game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) Yeah, but there is a difference between him roping his dad into this AFTER he realized he was a schmuck and had been exaggerating about his online girlfriend to everyone (perhaps he actually never met her, but made those parts up because he didn't want to admit that she was just an "online" relationship), or if he and his family deliberately set out to create this hoax from the beginning. I'm not sure which to believe. He lived at home when she supposedly visited him. It's just so stupid. And the original story he told reporters was that they met n person at the USC game. Now he was scammed by someone he never saw.

Where did he send the white roses?

How comes he "told" ND about it on 12/26 yet answered questions about her during the pregame special in jan?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 06:44 PM) So do we think he really was talking to a girl via the internet and possibly the phone, and exaggerated her into a real girlfriend? Or do we think he was in on this all along? He and his family were in on it. His dad said she flew out to hang out with him in Hawaii a few times.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 06:36 PM) Jeez, have none of you ever heard of women who scam guys for money? Lol. Yes, and part of her grand plan was killing herself off.

Met her several times per his quotes. Yet now he was scammed. Ya, super innocent.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) Te'o supposedly met her family. Did he con that, too? That kid was a family friend of his Second, Te'o said he talked to her and hung out with her while Notre Dame says he was scammed. Classic.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) Her account existed long before Te'o. Other people apparently dated this fake person previously as well. I would never have believed this s*** happened if I didn't watch catfish.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 05:02 PM) Who was the better ILB in college last year? Jarvis Jones was a better LB overall. Te'o wasn't even the best defensive player on his own team.
