My statement: This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but I have been told by Alabama's offense that Manti Te'o is not real.

maybe this is a possibility...say te'o tweeted back and forth from time to time with this person thinking she was real. never talked to her on the phone, never asked to skype, never tried to visit her, etc. then after she "died" he exaggerated the extent of their "relationship" for publicity not realizing it was going to blow up in his face because the person never existed. that could explain how he was "fooled" so easily.

The account was deleted after her "death" and someone poached the name after the story broke yesterday to troll with it.

Is it time to take a hard, second look at the Rudy story?

Joe Montana already said it was [expletive]! A CRUEL HOAX.

 

I keep waiting for it to come out that Notre Dame is actually U-Phoenix.

2 days after Te'o supposedly told ND about the hoax....

 

Chris Fowler: There were a lot of cameras around you this year, there was so much public sharing of very private moments, which shared moment will you never forget above the others?

 

Manti Te'o: I think I’ll never forget the time when I found out that, you know, my girlfriend passed away and the first person to run to my aid was my defensive coordinator, Coach [bob] Diaco, and you know he said something very profound to me, he said ‘this is where your faith is tested.’ Right after that, I ran into the players’ lounge and I got on the phone with my parents – and I opened my eyes and my head coach was sitting right there. And so, you know, there are a hundred-plus people on our team and the defensive coordinator and our head coach took time to just go get one [of those players]. You know I think that was the most meaningful to me.

That transcript is insane. Whoever is responsible for the hoax, whether Te'o was duped or not, it's got to be the most elaborately staged one I've ever heard of on the Internet.

SI: What did she do?

TE'O: She actually just graduated from Stanford. She worked at Clark's Construction Company, I think. She replaced her dad after her dad passed.

SI: When did her dad pass?

TE'O: In October. She took that mantle for him.

SI: Does the family own a construction business?

TE'O: No. But they're part of the whole administration, the higher-ups. Their family worked really hard and worked their way up. She's very smart, very smart and very intellectual. She worked there but her main dream was to work with kids. She traveled all around. She taught at elementary schools. She flew to New Zealand to just work with kids. That's what she loved to do, work with children.

 

So part of the story was that her dad died and she somehow inherited his position in the hierarchy of somebody else's construction company?

That one caught me too. Some sort of miscommunication on that one.
