Dude got major sympathy because supposedly his grandmother and girlfriend died on the same day (to separate causes) back in September. This 'fact' was widely reported by the media back then and also in the lead-up to the Championship game.

Turns out the girlfriend didn't exist and was a fabricated online persona (fake twitter etc) using stolen pictures, and a madeup history concocted after the fact. etc. It seems likely Teo was in on it, though that is not yet been established.

faux-tography?.....

Obviously a cover-up of the illicit homosexual relationship between Teo and the guy with the funny last name.

They made-up this "girlfriend" to provide cover for their late-night love tweets and e-mails to each other.

The "boyfriend" WAS in a car accident and that led to their story of the girlfriend being in a car accident and discovery of her disease...all to further Teo's legend and help to cover up their sweet love-making which is forbidden by his Mormon faith, his Notre Dame Catholic connection and against whatever nationality they come from...let's call it Samoan.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Brent Musberger connection:

"WOW...it really pays to be the middle linebacker at Notre Dame...look at that, well done Manti Teo" as the camera focuses on a hot, tan, athletic fan in the stands flexing HIS muscles.

At first I thought the guy was probaby in on the hoax but as I ponder the facts over about 6-8(lost count really) wild turkey's and water I believe he must have really been hoax'd.

Think about it...you meet a bitch on the internet and she's hot as fuck, she emails hot pictures, gives you a life story and some dude with a really faggy voice actually talks to you on the phone and pretends to be her. Now, even if you know this chick is real meeting a girl on the internet is still something all your buddies are gonna give you endless amounts of shit about....especially if you still haven't met the chick in person. With those thoughts I conclude that the dude probably made up a fake story about how they met, instead of admitting it was on the world wide web. Hell, I'd have done the same thing there but once you start a lie like that the bullshit can just keep piling on and get out of control pretty quick.....
Hence the stories about how she'd come to visit in Hawaii and yada yada yada.

I'm not defending the guy, I haven't even liked him to be honest with you but I'm starting to see just how all of this could go down so I'm gonna reserve judgement.

To the dude that pulled this shit off...Should we give this guy some sort of Oscar or Golden Globe or whatever other BS they give actors or should we burn him at the stake?

I say, job well done you sorry..sorry..sorry mother fucker.

He's a starting LB at major college, don't think he is going to be overly enamored with one hot chick he meets on the internet.

I thought the Sarah Phillips/ESPN thing was the ultimate in surreal internet hoaxes, but this one takes the cake.

And he said they had met after the Stanford Notre Dame game supposedly.

They hung out in Hawaii.

He made all this shit up. I would not touch him in the draft there is really something wrong with this kid, besides the overrated on the field part.

He was duped. ND knows that or they wouldn't have come out with the press conference.

Really brings into question the value of a Notre Dame education, but there's no way that he knew

exactly

if they had any shred of doubt that he was in on it then they would have issued a press release referring the entire matter to teo and his family and/or had no comment.

they've basically now put their neck on the line when they really had no need to
