Balta1701 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 09:46 PM) I've seen in more than a few places that this is a precursor to him coming out of the closet. Every other explanation has 2 or 3 "wait this part makes no sense" points other than that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 09:47 PM) If this is all a cover up for him being gay, Notre Dame should be ashamed of itself If that's the case and he doesn't want to, then the school should have nothing to do with forcing him into anything.

StrangeSox Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 QUOTE (G&T @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) Not really. The normal thing to do is hire a girl or two to be seen with him out together. This concoction requires a fairly twisted person to con a lot of people. Could have spiraled out of control with him already too deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is done at your program, why are you lying for him? And how did they throw this together including an investigation faster than Declan and Lizzys cases. It makes them look terrible.

daa84 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 just posting a few things i found online that I thoguht are extremely interesting. Teo said the funeral was in Carson California. This website belonging to Ronaiah Tuiasasopo says he is from Carson California. http://www.talentjug.com/profile/rltuiasosopo additionally, Teo's parents describe "She was gifted in music, multi-lingual, had dreams grounded in reality and the talent to catch up to them" (South Bend Tribune). "They started out as just friends," Te'o's father, Brian, told the Tribune in October 2012. "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." Teo's supposed gf was in a serious car accident sometime in 2012. Tuiasasopo was in a serious car accident in 2012. Here is a pic of Tuiasasopo from instagram after the car accident with his cousin (Jeremy Matau) asking for prayers for them http://instagram.com/p/Ih0ANZKDCR/ The real weird part is the fred Matua story.Fred Matua (not sure if he is related to Jeremy Matau [different spelling, but both are cousins of Tuiasasopo]) dies on August 12, 2012. A girl close to Matua creates an twitter pretending to be Kekua's sister, saying "she" was missed at the dinner for their father that night.

He could have fake broke up with her before she had fake cancer and fake died. When did he realize he was too deep? Who allowed him to go in the direction he did with the story? Possibly less questions if someone is gone (mom cant call her up and ask why she broke son's heart). Might have also thought that if he did it at the same time as his grandma that it would draw less attention and then be over with? Pretty odd no matter what the story is.

TaylorStSox Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If it was all to cover up his sexuality, why say that she died? That makes no sense. Why wouldn't he say that they broke up? It just doesn't seem logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Many people who lie and create false stories dont always necessarily think what they are doing. He could have just become overwhelmed with the death of his grandma (that is true) and just went off the deep end. Someone is going to find his friend soon and then well know.

Soxbadger Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The real part I dont understand is if this was just a coverup, why even make it national news to start with? Most of the time a college player's girlfriend isn't reported news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you piggyback it on your Grandma's death for more sympathy. If that was the case, he's the stupidest student at ND.

Soxbadger Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Killing her at the same time as his grandma may have been smart, you can use the actual sadness of your grandma and since she really died no one is going to press a lot of questions. It just makes no sense to create the huge back story, when its far simpler to just say nothing. He could have just lied to his parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 lol @ this thread There is a remote chance that he was somehow gamed, but we would need far more info at this point to really believe that. If he's gay, he can't fix it now. ND just went balls deep to protect him, he can't go change his mind and say that those guys just lied for him.
