I was just thinking this.

He faked a girlfriend and faked said fake girlfriends death just for Heisman hype. What a piece of shite.

So, he got trolled and then just went with and told the media his online gf died? I'm not sure that is any better than being in on it from the start.


That's what I'm thinking happened. I'm not sure its any better other than the fact that he didn't start with ill intentions (in my scenario). Someone found him, they were 'dating' and then he was making shite up to tell people.

In either way, what an idiot. And which Heisman candidate has the better character now? (Answer has always been Klein)

well since ND has already put out a statement that Te'o is the victim of a hoax, its already been confirmed the girlfriend didnt exist.
Do they mean the girlfriend is a hoax, or Deadspin's story is a hoax?

Edit: nevermind. I see ND's statement.

Really does have the markings of a story concocted to avoid questions about being gay that blew up in his face.

I think the frankenstein theory is more in line with happened.

And that implcates Teo even more since he knew she was fake, but had to go along with it. So he got blackmailed kinda.

So to a point he was a victim, but he knew what he was doing when he lied.


People had her twitter, if she said she was dying people would have learned about it quickly and he had to react to cover his tracks of said fake girlfriend.

They mean that the "girlfriend" is a hoax and Te'o was manipulated into believing she was real.
