WSBT in South Bend is reporting that they have Te'o on camera discussing his girlfriend and his death by cancer 2 days after he knew it was a "hoax" according to the ND AD's timeline (after their in depth investigation). South Bend media must feel burned.

I feel like ND will adjust their timeline to fit new facts

It says that she traveled to Hawaii and met with him:
quote:

Te'o's father, Brian, told the Tribune in October 2012. "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."


That could be manatee lying to his father that he went to meet a girl, probably met a boy instead but was ashamed to admit it.

ND making a arse out of themselves if you ask me by sticking by him. Should have just stayed clear of it, denied knowledge and said it was an issue for Teo and the authorities.

I'm starting to think your typo might be more accurate than it would appear....

I seriously believe that in the end, this is going to be a story @ a guy who is gay, and had to make this shite up to hide his true sexual orientation from teammates etc.

How many all-american football players have to keep an internet girlfriend for 3 years? He is queeer as a left-handed football bat, and it's going to come out.

Funny, I've known several Hawaiians and they have all been full-of-shite douchebags. Whats in the air over there?

There's got to be more to it than that. I understand making up the gf, but why kill her off in such an over the top manner, on the same day as his grandmother, even. If too many questions were being asked, simply "break up" with her. That would buy him even more time because he wouldn't want to get in a "rebound" relationship.

He was trying to win the Heisman with his sob story. Grandmas die all the time, pretty rare to have your grandma and girlfriend die on the same day though.

I can totally see this as a guy being hoaxed and then too embarrassed to admit it so he lied about her being real

What i dont buy is this whole notion that he never had any idea that she was fake

They "met" in 2009 and became friends for a couple of years, then started "dating", iirc.
