2013 College Football off-season

This story is awesome. I don't know where he got the idea to try and pull off the "My girlfriend is Canadian, you don't know her/she died" thing, but it takes balls. And the personality of a jerkass.

Twitter is awesome right now.

 

@barryap1 Declan Sullivan was real tho

 

@netw3rk This is what happens when you name schools after ladies who tell people they got pregnant without having sex.

 

@richarddeitsch Coming soon to the ESPN ticker: According to Deadspin....

Perfect example of why ND fans suck. I emailed this to a ND grad work friend. It's a longish read. He replies back less than two minutes later, "If this turns out to be true, I'll be disappointed."

 

If? How about reading the whole story, dip. Don't just look at something you don't like, immediately dismiss it and attempt to steer the narrative in a hypothetical direction when it's clearly not a hypothetical situation. That's how Paterno, Bonds, McGwire and Lance Armstrong happens.

My manager and the owner of my company are ND grads. I am definitely not sending this to other people here...

The absolute best-case scenario is that Manti Te'o is an absolute moron who got hoaxed by some chick over the Internet. Since I'm fairly sure he isn't an absolute moron...

my ND fan friend said a similar thing. he also said this was the worst 9 day stretch for any college football program ever. i reminded him how an entire football team died in a plane crash, but he's inconsolable.

I'm told Notre Dame will have an official comment on the Deadspin Manti Te'o story shortly.

[Old Style]

Odds Te'o says he made up this story to cover up the embarrassing fact that he is really gay?

That's some perspective right there.

Report: Gipper actually felt fine that day. Rockne has 'splainin to do.

This is hilarious. Between Kelly going to the NFL and now this, what a fantastic day this has turned out to be.

That was my first thought. Gonna have to come out of that closet now though if that's why.

That would be a shame. Pro sports is long overdue for producing an out icon and having the first major gay athlete in one of the big 4 sports be a liar would be shameful, but probably fitting in the context of sports culture and it's alpha-male homophobic past and how it pressures gays to go to extreme measures to hide their sexuality.

The ND fan misery thread Smack posted includes a poster claiming that Te'o is currently dating a girl from nearby St. Mary's College that he knows. Take that FWIW

The ND statement says that the coaching staff was informed Dec. 26 that Manti had been hoaxed, which creates more questions than it answers.

[Banedon]

Hell of a big scoop for Deadspin.

[SouthSideRyan]

At least I have a full 6 days to come up with a Teo-related trivia team name.

Now I wish it was Brian Kelly and not Chip Kelly.

Craig James Killed Five Manti Te'o Girlfriends

Gonna need more info than that ND

you spelled mormon wrong

[USSoccer]

How do you get "hoaxed" about your girlfriend dying of car accident cancer? I feel like that's the kind of event you'd notice if something was off about it.

[wolf stansson]

Me and my girlfriend are very much in love. I stay on the phone with her all night while she's in chemo.

 

Have I ever met her? No, but that's not important. I love her very much. What's that? I told national media we met at the ND v Stanford game? [expletive]. Uh...I mean...BIG GULPS HUH? WELP. SEE YA LATER.

[SouthSideRyan]

How do you release a statement of shrugging your shoulders and tugging at your collar?

[Banedon]

So ND knew the day after Xmas and they didn't correct the facts during the whole awards/bowl season?
