January 17, 201313 yr I just read an article pointing out this. According to ND's AD, Te'o received a call on December 6th from "Lennay" claiming she's not really dead. At this point he must know it's a hoax (if he's even telling the truth anyways). On December 8th, he mentions his girlfriends passing in an interview. I thought they said Dec. 26th? I could be wrong.
January 17, 201313 yr I thought they said Dec. 26th? I could be wrong. December 26th was when ND officials were told...
January 17, 201313 yr Te'o may very well be gay but I'm not buying he did this to cover that up. Doesn't make sense. If you're going to make up a girlfriend to cover up being gay why make it a national story by killing her off? Good point.
January 17, 201313 yr Either way, the past couple of days have provided AMPLE ammunition to what I've been beating into my 11 year olds. If you lie, you will get caught, and you will look like a fool and a coward. See, there are good life lessons still in sports.
January 17, 201313 yr December 26th was when ND officials were told... Oh okay, thanks for the clarification. I knew that date was tossed out. I thought that is when Teo found out and then also told the officials.
January 17, 201313 yr I think the last few posts of this were the most meaningful posts we have had in this entire thread besides the other 20 pages or so of pure awesomeness.

January 17, 201313 yr If this is true, maybe he thought it was too late to turn back This is why I think he knew it was a hoax long ago. It was still too late to turn back. I think he knew it was a hoax from the very beginning. He either was duped initially or he helped plan it. Either way, he knew what was up by the Michigan State game. That's when the inconsistent stories started. If he's not gay.
January 18, 201313 yr Considering this thread hasn't got a post in the last hour and a half if day its slowing down.
January 18, 201313 yr Definitely slowing down. I wonder if we will ever find out who actually talked to him on the phone and who all was involved in the hoax. Will we ever hear from Tuiasosopo and will Te'o get interviewed about it?
January 18, 201313 yr The longer he waits to talk the worst he looks IMO. Someone said the same on Twitter today. Shouldn't take any time at all to tell the truth. Unfortunately, the truth seems to be the furthest thing from this guy.
