Ahhh. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget Susie--ahhh. And most of all, I will never, forget that one night. Working late on the catalogue. Juuust the two of us. And we surrendered to temptation. And it was Pretty Good.

He said he had met her, .. his Dad said the same thing.

ND says the Dad likes to add some color to stories.

Maybe we should just call a lie a lie.

Agree

@JadeveonClowney: Manti Teo is the biggest definiton of thirsty

@JadeveonClowney: RT Sooo...Instead of getting an STD from a girl I guess Manti Te'o gets computer virus's

@JadeveonClowney: Manti teo should have just gone the tebow route and admitted he was a virgin

@JadeveonClowney: Manti teo probably won't get that eharmony endorsement now

@JadeveonClowney You wanna know what's weirder than Manti Teo making up a girlfriend then pretend killing her? Nothing

That's a fake twitter account dude. Ironically, you're being Teo'd

He might have been better to tell the world he was a virgin like Tebow.

Why do simple-minded people rush to make up their minds about what happened instead of waiting for the truth which will eventually come out?

Will the truth come out? The denial is strong with ND. The rapists are still at large 2+ years later.

Um, where's you evidence that that publication has any knowledge of any of this prior to the Deadspin article when all the world found out?

That I actually believe. Probably pretty tough to perform well in the national spotlight when your entire life has fallen apart and all your lies are unravelling.

Espn knew at least 10 days ago. They were "trying to get an interview".

I gotta tell you, I doubt the university knew that this was all just a big hoax while it was ongoing. Don't get me wrong, they certainly found out before all the rest of us. But I don't believe for a single second that the administrators or coaches at ND knew during the Michigan State game that Te'o was full of crap.

OK well first of all, your answer has absolutely nothing to do with the question I asked. I didn't realize "ESPN" was an acronym for "South Bend Tribune."

Second of all, in the world of journalism, ethical reporters will often find out something happened but simply not have enough evidence to bring it to print, so they conduct further investigations until they get more.

I guess people here forget how a false rape allegation against Michael Irvin and Erik Williams derailed the 1996 playoffs for us (the Panthers should have been a cakewalk for us).

yea, this x1000

Then on top of that, if he's a guy who has social anxiety, ala Ricky Williams, I can see him falling for someone online.

I'll ask you the same question I asked the other guy: Where is your evidence supporting your belief that they knew 3 weeks ago?
