Nut graph ...
That player believes Te'o initially fell for a hoax, but carried on with it for the publicity even after he discovered the truth. That fits with what Tyler Moorehead, the Notre Dame rep for college sports network College Spun, recounts from the on-campus gossip:

 

Bingo. Was just about to post that. Thanks.

 

Completely plausible. Like I said uptopic, how many folks still fall for the Nigerian scam? Or believe everthing they see on Facebook? And add in the possibilities of getting sex?

 

awesome

 

When the story first broke, it said that his "friend" had died.

Then it was, suddenly, his "girlfriend."

I remember thinking it was perhaps some girl he had been dating casually or something along those lines, and didn't know exactly how to phrase it.

I didn't follow the story much after that.

But it doesn't explain why he was telling his dad that he was head over heels with this girl.

None of this shit adds up.

With the help of the Necromancer, I"m sure.

 

Friend....girlfriend.....love of his life.

They're real and they're spectacular

 

Correction: the many girls in the Niagra Falls area.

 

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me.
But it was Just my imagination,
once again runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me.

 

Tomorrow I'm fully expecting to find out that Tebow fathered six children while at Florida.
