This story is so bizarre. There is just so much conflicting information out there right now. The one thing that this whole thing shows is just how pathetic the "media" is at fact checking.

Do yourselves a favor and don't post until the answers have been revealed.

You sound like the OSU idiots who were screaming people were retarded for thinking Tressel could do any wrong.

I say let them post. Just like the Steubenville fans do with their on going controversy. Great for the Lulz.

Yeah, that makes complete sense. And perhaps you missed the parts where I said "fuck him" if he was in on it. Blindly defending him, or the team....which frankly doesn't need to be defended in this case, isn't what I'm doing here.
Because everyone knows you guys are going to defend ND. And everyone knows we're going to have a good time with this story. In the end, the truth will be revealed.

But ND fans constantly defending ND/Te'o and rebutting everything that's being said on the story makes you come off like a defensive pansy.

Comparing me to a Steuby fan? Ouch. Guess I should go all-in then and say that Te'o's fake girlfriend was a drunken whore and was asking for that Leukemia to kill her.

Is that really what you're getting from my posts? Man, not sure how you could read them and come away from them with that. I think I've been pretty fair and somewhat objective about it. Of course, my opinion is not that of the majority on the OC at this time so that automatically opens one up to ridicule on here...and that's fine. I can take it. Some open discussion and reasonable debate with the terry_tate's and wes_mantooth's of the OC is worth sifting through the bullshit on here.

After seeing all the misinformation regarding the dates of her alleged death, I'm surprised this hasn't come out sooner.

I just wanted to post this quote again.

"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."

So he was talking marriage (maybe) to his parents to a girl that he or they have never met in person? gtfo

That would be a good start, but not what I meant from my post.

Care to clarify then? Because it looks like Ewok and I took it the same way.

Actually I didn't read that into it at all.

My post was meant more toward SportsandLady for saying you shouldn't say anything. By that right neither should anyone say anything until it all comes out in the end. That would make for a forum with no posts.

That's what I meant. (to you too Sherm)

Again, ND doesn't need defended in this case. At least not yet. And simply offering some alternative possibilities/scenarios in the situation isn't just defending Te'o.....especially considering that we've said that if he is in on it then he is trash and we'll have no respect for him. Sorry that we're not just going all-in on with one theory and present a couple others all while acknowledging that he could very well be in on it. And we're not rebutting everything that's being said. I thought Az's theory was a bit far-fetched and said so. Why is it that we should wait for the facts but others should not? That makes absolutely no sense.

You've admitted that you hate ND and that's fine. I guess the opinions of a few ND fans must irritate you even if we're just offering our opinions and not being complete homers. We're coming off as "pansies" but you're the one bitching about our opinions.........

Here's what Wojciechowski said tonight:

[INDENT] Well, I sat across from him and I was moved by his story and it was heartbreaking and heartwarming and as it turns out totally untrue. But short of asking to see a death certificate, I'm not sure what most people would do differently in that case. But in researching it before I wrote the script, I remember trying to find an obituary for his girlfriend and could not. And couldn't find any record of this car accident. But we asked Manti, could we contact Lennay's family and he said the family would prefer not to be contacted. Could we have some photos of Lennay? He said the family would prefer not to provide those. And so in that instance, and at that moment, you simply think that you have to respect those wishes. But in retrospect, you can see where some of those things simply were not adding up to make sense. Easy to say now. At the time it every enters your mind somebody was involved in that kind of hoax

Understoood. Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification. And that I can at least understand. If one "side" should wait for the facts to come out so should the other. But the truth is....I'm not really on a side here. I admit there's some bias on my part but that is simply giving Te'o SOME benefit of the doubt in saying there COULD be an explanation for this to make it less scandalous. Then again, maybe not and he's a fraud piece of shit and I acknowledge that scenario and it's likelihood as well. I obviously don't want it to be true and I'm sure there are some who are hoping that it is true and as bad as it sounds. Fact of the matter is....if it's true....I won't be defending him at all. I don't think I'm defending him that much now....just saying there could....could be some explanation. We will just have to wait and find out.

No problem. I have no dog in this fight as I'm not a ND fan or OSU fan.

This is the place I was coming from as well. I admitted that I don't want him to have a hand in this because he was the good guy. I don't want him to be the heel. But if he is the heel...I'll boo him just like everyone else.

I only wanted to provide another possibility. I got ripped for it. Which is fine. Just find it funny that one scenario is ludicrous because it came from a fan of the team.
