OT: Deadspin article on story of the death of Manti te'o's girlfriend being hoax *UNLOCKED*
Got the link from the EDSBS twitter. Deadspin is putting a lot on the line with an article like this so I hope they've done their homework. It does raise a few flags when a picture of "her" is someone else entirely. Take it FWIW.
Thread is going back up with profit's approval after a quick discussion between us, especially with CBS Radio picking it up. There will probably be a few of the subsequent threads deleted; I'll explain each that I take down in the Moderator Action Stickey.
As a quick reminder, please keep comments to the standards we've come to expect from the MGoBoard. JGB
Edit two: I didn't take down the other threads, so the promised explanations didn't happen in the sticky. If you think a thread was taken down in error, I apologize, but it's now disappeared into the internet. From what I saw, most had served their purpose when this thread was unlocked. JGB.

To hell with Notre Dame was prophecy not declaration

Makes as much sense as any other explanation

Interesting article from October..
"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.
Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.

Notre Dame has a super duper secret report, put together by their super duper secret investigative firm, which easily proves Manti was the victim in all of this, but they're not going to make any of it public?

Hey how'd you get that private gif my girlfriend sent only to me??
January 16th, 2013 at 9:25 PM ^
I'm going to wait to reserve judgement on this until all of the "facts" have been straightened out. May take awhile....I have a feeling this is a deep rabbit hole.

which will work, as evidenced by Sullivan's death and OSU's tatgate.

I wonder what LSUFreek is going to come up with?

if my internet girlfriend were to have a serious car accident, then cancer, and then be on her deathbed, I'd rather go to practice and play football games. Priorities! :)

So now, apparently an Arizona Cardinals player from Samoa is confirming that Manti Te'o's girlfriend is real, and he met her in the past.
What the fuck is happening?
Nothing is real anymore.
Edit: He "believes" he met her.

an Arizona Cardinals player is approximately 24 hrs - 6 months late with this info and is about to make himself look extremely stupid?
January 16th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
I'm not sure if this or the butt fumble is more humiliating

My favorite line so far (paraphrased from Deadspin comments):

If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son Manti Teo has 99 problems but a girl ain't one.
Manti teo probably wont get that eharmony endorsement now

Spurrier needs to tell him to stop that sh*t ASAP.

I believe that particular twitter account is fake.
Dammit, MGoBlog, have we learned nothing over the past 24 hours?
January 17th, 2013 at 4:55 PM ^
Why is that? Are you outraged at all the people on here's jokes about the situtation? He can't joke about the biggest sports story happening right now and the most absurd sports story in years because......what? He's a football player?

5 out of 5 FAKES. Whoever did this didn't even spell his last name correctly.

Manti Te'o on 12/8, 2 days after hoaxers call again: "I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer."

They say that the cover-up is always worse than the crime. Expect to see lots of people coming forward to claim that they're the REAL "significant other" of Manti Te'o, just to protect him from any further embarrassment.
To think that it all started with this:
"Te'o, Te'o. Daylight come and me wanna go home."

The fact that he says he received a letter from here 31 days after she died is hilarious.
