You do have a valid point.Fly4Fun;1368270 wrote:The one thing that ND/Te'o's people (whoever is to blame) did for sure screw up is the dissemination of this story from a PR perspective. It seems that they were having internal debates and sat on it. One of the most important things about information, is you want to control the manner and the initial "story" when it comes out.
By sitting on the information they lost the opportunity and that's why there is so much conjecture and different theories flying around at the moment.
It may be the first one you ever had!
If this was a legit hoax then I think that ND and Teo wins if they come out right away about it, and be on the offensive. In a somewhat similiar situation a few years ago Jerome Bettis came out about someone who was trying to extort him for money..that if he didnt give money she would say something..forget what it was. From what I remember, the first anyone heard of it was from JBs people. IF that had come out differently, the woman coming out first then the story takes on a whole another angle that maybe it IS true, but by him coming out about it no one really questionsed it.
A little diff, but somewhat similiar -

I'm not sure what's worse: The Te'o fraud or ND being 0-4 in BCS bowl games losing by an average of 25.25 per game. -

I still don't get how homosexuality explains this, or makes it any better. -

Per @SportsCenter on Twitter:
NEW DEVELOPMENT - Former ND teammate tells ESPN's Bob Holtzman that many players knew Lennay Kekua wasn't really Manti Te'o's girlfriend. -

[INDENT]"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple. And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now."
[/INDENT]Further, the South Bend Tribune, way back in 2009, wrote that Kekua and Te'o had met in person, though Te'o sang a different tune to Swarbrick.
And how does a guy who is supposedly as good as gold and of the highest character not make it a point to attend her funeral? The initial reports claimed the funeral was the date of the Michigan State game but how could someone of his alleged character not at least take a trip to pay his respects or visit with his girlfriend's family either before of after?
Swarbrick said he thought Te'o would step in front of the microphone sometime Thursday. Pass the popcorn. -

Only thing I can think of that explains this is that parents lie about their kids all the time. He either could have been embarrased that his kid met a girl online, and that he never has met her and since his son supposedly was in love he embelished a bit, OR he was just passing along what his son told him about meeting up with her and how much he liked her.vball10set;1368323 wrote:http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2013/01/18745/thursday-skull-session#more

Because he said "she told me to play, no matter what"... it's all for dramatic effect.The initial reports claimed the funeral was the date of the Michigan State game but how could someone of his alleged character not at least take a trip to pay his respects or visit with his girlfriend's family either before of after? -
