Manti Ruh R'oh - It turns out Tuiasosopo is GOAT voice actor. T'eo still a liar/exaggerator. - Page 19 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Teo's lol statement has been ripped apart by the interwebs in a matter of hours, using only info that's widely available to the public. If Notre Dame AD & PR crisis people team up and immediately schedule a presser to double down on what's already out there, or some PSU-esque stepping stone to the truth, then LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLOOLOOLOLOLOL OL ND.

Let's not forget that Manti's parents are obviously in on this as well. Absurd.

So ND and Te'o are running with the line that he was the victim of a hoax?

There is not enough popcorn on planet earth for this presser. I'm gonna pound a six pack just anticipating it.

He also "dated" a stripper who "died in a plane crash."

Social awkwardness can make people do weird things I guess.

Of course he's married with a kid now.

This whole socially awkward Catfish thing would make a lot more sense if Manti Teo wasn't the star LB for the Notre Dame football team. I mean come on, dude could have had any one of a thousand hotties without even trying. The fact that he had a fake GF who lived across the country that he never met means either:

1) Made her up for publicity stunt

or

2) Had an online GF to cover up homosexuality who then also turned out to be a scammer who faked her own death

I'd say it's about a 99.9% chance of #1 and a 0.1% chance of #2.

They know nothing except to stonewall and pray this goes away, and large parts of the media will go along with whatever bull**** they spew. Have already seen multiple references to Te'o as the victim of the hoax and not the perpetrator.

This presser is clearly going to be a frustrating disaster. "The Notre Dame family was the victim of an online hoax, which is being thoroughly investigated. We are looking forward to the future. Goodnight."

play dumb, back him, hope it just goes away while they "investigate".

maybe they'll get lucky and there's no proof that they knew for sure she was fake.

I'd say it's about a 99.9% chance of #1 and a 0.1% chance of #2.

I'd guess there's a possibility that he was really depressed over his grandmother passing away, and no one was acting like it was a big deal. So on the spur of the moment he made up the fake gf death to get attention, not knowing it would become some massive thing.

This could be combined with having fake gf to cover up being gay.

ND AD Jack Swarbrick will address T'eo dead girlfriend hoax at 8 p.m. WNDU will carry it live on air, and on-line at WNDU.COM.

If you can't watch ESPN for whatever reason. (WNDU is the South Bend NBC affiliate)

iggy is right (although I would love to get 1000-1 on the gay part)

he doesn't come across as socially awkward in those interviews, where is this idea coming from?

You're absolutely right that this is LOL ESPN. But it's not b/c they're upset they didn't break the story. This is a story they never wanted. This is the Mouse that employs Rick Reilly and Tom Rinaldi and Mike Breen. Their candyasses just can't handle this kind of real world ****ed up ****.

EDIT: Catching up with thread; not surprised to see they sat on it/tried to hide it?

For people like me who don't follow college football, exactly how big a deal did they make of this during the season/before the BCS championship, etc? Like you couldn't get away from it?

Just saying if he wants to try to play the "hoax" angle to the very end, the next step would be the timid/shy around girls thing - leading him to be fooled, even though they would be tossing themselves at his feet as he walked down the hall to class. It's BS too, but why stop now?

HUGE HUGE HUGE deal.

Te'o almost won the Heisman based on overcoming such tragedy.

Have any of you actually ever HAD a girlfriend?

They lie all the ****ing time. Girls hate guys and it's a mystery to me why they even date guys. They lie lie lie LIE LIE LIE ALL THE TIME.

Manti surely actually had this girlfriend, but to get away from him, she made up a lie that she died. She got a friend or whatever to tell Manti that she died. This is SO typical of girls and reading through the thread and articles I am 100% this is what happened.

Manti was yet another victim of a woman who can't get her **** straight and LIED to a man who loved her.
