There's not?
That doesn't make sense. That doesn't raise red flags for the guy? He's going to continue dating the black box when he has a line of co-eds beating down his door?His story rests on him being the biggest rube on the planet. I think at this point that's worse than him trying to gin up some Heisman hype.Phone records clear all of this up. Maybe those are the "facts" that have been alluded to....No Skype? No stop to visit when she's dying and he's on Spring Break?After reading more - I think he was embarrassed by meeting her online and not really knowing "her". He said he lied to his parents, hence their confusion. I think he was just too embarrassed by the whole thing when things started panning out that he had no idea what to do. I think he may have played up some things or maybe thought them in his mind but I don't think was part of an elaborate hoax
So he's going with my first option...what took him so long to come up with that?
If you wish to continue discussing it, feel free.
He answered all of the questions Schaap asked and what people wanted to know. It was an interesting story while it lasted.
Freaking awesome and worth the read.
The guy that wrote it was walking this line between sober analysis and jilted lover. You could tell his head was still in the clouds.Granted it was a convoluted mess to unravel, but he brought 99% of that upon himself.
Guess that makes John Travolta and Tom Cruise straight.Isnt he married with a kid on the way?or Russel Wilson.
These aren't two mutually exclusive options. He apparently understood this as well.
whats funny is the dude is a supposed to be an Academic All-American. Congrats Notre Dame
Espn is too vested in this story to be taken seriously.
Agreed. On my other board, a guy who is a huge ND fan, didn't say anything about this the first few days. Now, after the interview, he is 100% behind Te'o
I honestly don't know what to believe, whether he was duped in the beginning and then kept it going for the attention or embarrassment, or whether he was in on it from the beginning, don't really care anymore.He will never be free from this, it will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Nick Saban is a genius.
I wouldnt call him the biggest rube on the planet, seems like tons of people have fallen for similar type stuff. Definitely naive, dumb, etcThat doesn't make sense.

I'm sure he'll really care about your feelings when he collects his huge payday shortly and has women throwing themselves at him.
Jesus, there it is again.
Krista Marks, right Otis?
He went way farther down the rabbit hole than I would have. Then again, at the time I was profitably single and lots of baskets for my eggs, so maybe that's easy for me to say. I would imagine that for a guy who is single and lonely at a point in his life with less options, it would be easier to put a lot more effort into it and get dragged further in. But I definitely began calling her out early on.That said, when a girl invests THAT much effort into something like this, I have a harder time blaming the guy for stupidity. I mean, what's the upside in this for the woman, and when she starts calling, and has am active Facebook profile complete with pictures, descriptions of daily events, and -- the real kicker -- accounts of apparent siblings and friends posting on her Facebook wall -- at some point it just seems like it would be way too much effort to be a hoax. And yet, people out there do it. I still don't see the upside, and there's no money in it, but these are people who I assume are in need of some emotional fix and so they've got tons of motivation. It's one thing when you get suckered into a nigerian scam when there's a money payoff; this one is harder to see/understand.It's a crazy world out there.
I didn't have a Krista Marks in my story. York and I had direct communication throughout.
Some guys prefer the black box. Bill Maher and Roger Ebert come to mind.
DeNiro
I thought some teammates and classmates were saying he was not ignoring the lines of coeds?
Wait...what?
Yes, the MoP theory of guys becoming gay after they get rejected by women.Idiot broad on my FB friends list started a thread about this yesterday .... was basically her and some freakin' house frau heifer friend of hers .... anyways, after 10 or so exchanges, house frau lets on that "there are gay rumors floating around" .... Idiot girl's response?
"no way is this guy gay ... HE'S A FOOTBALL PLAYER!!!1!!!1!! THEY CAN GET ANY GIRL THEY WANT"
Speaking of... without taking into account fame, which university should be more embarrassed?ND because of a diploma with Manti Te'o's name on itYes, the MoP theory of guys becoming gay after they get rejected by women.Idiot broad on my FB friends list started a thread about this yesterday .... was basically her and some freakin' house frau heifer friend of hers .... anyways, after 10 or so exchanges, house frau lets on that "there are gay rumors floating around" ....

That's bizarre. The Deadspin article says that the @LennayKay screen name was deactivated in September 2012 (and changed to @LoveMSMK).
No proof of this.
but it all seemed so real.
