QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 11:56 PM) This is a story that will blow up next week, as ND was the one who reached out to the fundraiser in question I believe after the title game (if the report is true, which in this story, it's safe to say no one has any idea now). From what I read, it was just a ND alum trying to do something. Not a school fundraiser.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 01:20 AM) It's because the story is so ludicrous that a guy could be duped in this way for so long. But we're suppose to take his word that he was duped and ignore how he has basically lied about everything else he's ever said when it came to this girl and his relationship.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 01:13 AM) LOL at Teo saying he wasn't convinced she was fake until two days ago. If that is the case he is one of the stupidest people on the planet. but ND said Te'o was already planning on exposing the hoax next week. Surely ND isnt lying here.... Te'o is thinking this will all go away now. ahhaha

You'd think that Te'o would atleast ask for hospital info and check up on it when this girl was there. I know if I was having a relationship with a girl who I could never see and always had an excuse on why she couldnt meet, I'd be weary of this person being honest with me and I'd start doing my own little investigation.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 12:32 AM) Hey dude unrelated but have you heard any rumors about your situation as far as sanctions? well Twitter was abuzz saying the Notice of Allegations were due within 72 hours and that was last Saturday. So who knows when that will come. But the talk is that Miami has been cooperative so that is helping. Miami's President has a good rep within the NCAA. Talk is the bowl bans and ACC title ban will be good enough and Miami will probably play with 80 scholarships for a few years. Plus it looks like the NCAA might go after a few assistants but rumor is Randy Shannon will be cleared since its on record that he wanted players to avoid Shapiro. Louisville might be feeling this the most because the main assistant who was around Shapiro is Clint Hurtt and he gets a lot of Florida kids to UL. He may be looking at the show-cause penalty. Haith's name has been brought up but those will be minor issues at the most.

So Te'o is saying people will understand he wasnt involved when the facts come out. What the f*** is taking so long for the "facts" to come out? Telling the truth shouldnt take a few days, especially since he was going to come out and admit he was duped in a few days.

So TMZ is reporting that Te'o started dating a real person in November and it lasted about 2 months. I've never had a girlfriend die so maybe you move on after 2 months...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 06:51 PM) indeed. I got duped back in 2000. talkin' to this girl on-line who had a SEXY ass voice and said people said she looked like pochahantas or however you spell it. And I believed her. Talked to her for like 4 months. never got a pic from her. but i never suspected she was lying. we finally set up a meeting and god f***ing damn. b**** looked like urcala the seawitch from littler mermaid. i ain't never been right since. but at that point, it was either webcam or i ain't talkin' to you. lol, there are a lot of us who fell for the "no picture" game back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 06:37 PM) And let's be honest, dude didn't visit his girl in the hospital or attend her fake funeral, which is proof in my book that he knew a long, long time ago, before these events took place in his fictional timeline that he was being conned. And IMO, it makes me seriously think he was involved all along, especially when he says things to the media like his girl's breathing picked up while in a coma when she heard his voice over the phone. That's proof right there that Manti was playing us all. How can some people not see this? I could buy this if this was 1999. But to have a 4 year relationship and not get a real time pic, webcam, face time,skype,etc isnt being naive or dumb. If and when Te'o speaks, the media better ask him about how he never sought different ways to actually see her through those avenues.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 06:04 PM) Yes because of your anti Notre Dame stances. There's not a single piece of evidence that points to Teo being a part of this. There's also not a single piece of evidence that this is a giant Notre Dame coverup. Look at the facts and just accept that Teo was incredibly naive and stupid. But keep thinking this is a giant ND coverup if it makes you sleep better at night. Yeah because it would be preposterous to think ND would ever cover something up... We're just suppose to accept Te'o is naive? There's more evidence showing that Te'o knew this girl wasnt real because of all the lies. There is no evidence that he was naive. Its just as likely that he was duped and found out before she "died" but because others knew this girl existed in Te'o's world, he decided to just kill her off thinking it would just go away and not blow up to a national story.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) http://www.eersauthority.com/big-10-and-se...dd-acc-schools/ Here come the expansion rumors! Brett McMurphy of ESPN is pretty up to date on these things and he said he's heard nothing about these plans.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2013 -> 02:40 AM) 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. well he and ND probably didnt want a huge distraction from the media if he came out saying it was a scam just days before the title game.

this story is so out of control that even Teo being 100% honest tomorrow/whenever, most wont believe it.

If Tebow is in Chicago next year then you can count on Chi at GB on the opening Thursday. Cutler, on national tv throws 3 picks, Bears lose by 20 and ESPN starts foaming at the mouth.

so the dead girl new tweet was faked? boo

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 10:48 PM) I wish Seinfeld was on Netflix, Id love to watch that from start to finish again. I bought a few season dvds(and i never buy dvds) when they first game out because of all the "Pop Up Video" type info they had. It was like $30+ per season so I only bought a couple. Now I see them at Movie Stop for like $5 a season. Maybe I should get them to read the info.

wow, in another bizarre turn. There is actual footage of the fake funeral that shows that Renee girl and Te'o at.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) Is there a chance he was lying to make money through donations for his family? I guess whatever salary ND was giving him wasnt making ends meet.

So Mauia is Manti's boyfriend.

tomorrow would be a nice day for the NCAA to give Miami their Notice of Allegations.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 09:06 PM) Only way for Teo to save face is for him to be gay and just come out and say he was scared and didn't know what to do when it blew up but go along with it for fear of being shunned for being gay. he's the only one who can save face in all this. ND sank themselves by doing a long, detailed press conference. You can argue they shouldnt have done the presser but once they decided to go that route, they should have been short and sweet. Dont get trapped into a statement.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:59 PM) This is so awesome it is happening at ND. Who gets the game ball Kelly gave to his "girlfriend". Was there even a game ball????

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:58 PM) When did we as a society become TMZ? Who gives a s*** if some kid in college is diddling an imaginary friend? The kid probably has mental/emotional problems. We dont care until they put a story out there saying his girlfriend died the same week as one of his grandparents.

I figured ND would do a short presser and side with the story Te'o has said so far. I thought that would be good but they f***ed up by the details and depth they went into. I cant believe they thought this was a wise idea.
