After getting his 6 awards:

quote:

"I never thought that me coming back for my senior year would be the best situation for me with the tragedy," Te'o said. "It's a testament that the Lord answered my prayers and that I had 80-plus brothers there with me, sacrificing for me."


Singular, not plural.

Exactly. Pople are saying well he met her in PA...she went to Hawaii...he talked to her family...
All could be BS lies made up by Teo bc he went down this rat hole and was really, really embarrassed.

That said, I think he used it for publicity.


This article in the South Bend paper is now destined to be a classic:

quote:

t never felt like a chance meeting, although it probably appeared that way from the outside looking in. Their stares got pleasantly tangled, then Manti Te'o extended his hand to the stranger with a warm smile and soulful eyes. They could have just as easily brushed past each other and into separate sunsets. Te'o had plenty to preoccupy himself that November weekend in Palo Alto, Calif., back in 2009. His Notre Dame football team hadn't won since Halloween, and a three-game losing streak, that included seismic home setbacks to Navy and Connecticut, was pushing Irish head coach Charlie Weis out the door after five seasons, albeit with a seven-figure financial settlement set to kick in.


quote:

And Manti Te'o is convinced the beautiful stranger will be watching too Saturday, somehow. 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. She was gifted in music, multi-lingual, had dreams grounded in reality and the talent to catch up to them. The plan was for Kekua to spend extensive time with the whole Te'o family when upwards of 40 of them came to South Bend in mid-November for ND's Senior Day date with Wake Forest. "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. "And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now."

Why wouldn't they break this?

Too embarrassing for them?


They spent over a month branding the game as a classic battle between two old school teams who do it the "right way."

They didn't want to tarnish that brand.

He gay. First he creates this story of an imaginary GF as a cover up, then kills her off just as he's leaving school so he doesn't have to be seen/associated with her

How the hell do you recover from something like this? Seems like suicide would be a legit option

If he was totally being trolled, wouldn't they have told him TO miss the game and attend the funeral?

Irish Envy is a hot mess right now-

We want answers. You can suck on the field, but you can't suck as a person at ND. Our moral high ground separates us from other schools.


You mean like covering up a rape and then subsequent suicide of the rape victim?

Or like your head coach sending a kid to film practice in a crane that kills him?

If that is the "ND high ground" I would hate to know what they consider low ground.

frick those assholes.

Why would she troll him back in 2009, he wasn't a nationally known football at that point was he?

Or he could create another fake gf and she could sleep with the phone on? That would console him I bet.
