Peter Thamel is laying on it thick about how poor Teo was duped and all of campus was too.

Gonna keep quoting this.

ND is covering their arse. Manti is ruined.

Now we just need Saban to get caught in a scandal and retire.

I'm willing to bet that Te'o will eventually tell the truth about his lies and say he lied to ND, saving ND from further embarrassment. Not sure what to make of the PI report though.



Yep.


ND may pay him to do that honestly.

The duping angle really wouldn't be hard to believe if this didn't last 3 years. Lame people get tricked all the time on the internet. Hell I bet some idiot is getting tricked as I'm typing this, but 3 fricking years? No way you can get accepted into ND with that amount of brainpower.

I agree with him.

Add that to the fact he's an average MLB and no fricking chance I draft him.

We really need Tuiasopo or whatever to do a tell all ASAP.

Te'o probably thought the only way at that point to keep it from getting out was to just perpetrate the lie further.

EXACTLY.

No fricking chance a ND/college educated person can be duped by 1 twitter picture for 3 years.

Impossible.

It's because of my overwhelming knowledge of social media, my involvement with sites such as Facebook and Twitter, that I DON'T believe his story. He had been Skyping with his parents in Hawaii from South Bend. You're telling me that in the three years he supposedly had this online relationship with her, he never once tried to Skype with her?

Thamel believes Teo was duped and has nothing to do with it.

Pete Thamel stating that he did look for proof of the gf and did not find her and that set off some red flags but not totally uncommon for 20-21 y/o kids to not to be in Nexus

Te'o got a phone call in the locker room telling him that she had died. Thamel claims he Te'o played NO part in this at ALL. Said he feels so bad for Teo bc he was the perfect mark.

Wtf is wrong with him?

I don't believe the whole "catfish" thing. No one would even call it that if that show/movie didn't recently come out on MTV and become a hit.

Shits been going on for 3 years? No way he was "catfished".

Not surprising. He said as much last night.

In other words, he's trying to defend how he was duped! There's no defense IMO of running an SI cover story about something that didn't. even. exist.
