Great work putting all this together and doing some investigating.

That’s what makes this all so sickening. Pretty much every ND fan became unbelievably emotionally invested in this time like never before.

Like I said in the lede, it made the team look like a team of destiny. In the end, it was a metaphor for the entire season.

There’s definitely a lot more to this bizarre story that obviously goes back several years. I implore people to wait this out before passing judgements based largely on “reports” from social media.

Lastly, let’s keep in mind that Te’o did nothing legally wrong. Furthermore, his – and the team’s – play on the field & their education & development as good humans is really all we should be concerned about.

THAT’s the Notre Dame way.

I was on the fence about going–would I regret spending that much money if ND lost? My husband convinced me that we should go because regardless of the game’s outcome, this team–especially this group of seniors, and especially Manti–were players that I loved and respected, more than any other players since I’ve followed Notre Dame football. I wanted to be at Manti’s last game in blue and gold.

Regardless of the truth behind this story, that all feels tainted now.

I looked up to him as someone that I aspired to be, not as a football player, but as a man. I hope that he was just caught up in an elaborate scam and that he had nothing to do with this. After reading the dead spin article and now this article I don’t know what to believe. I want to put my faith in Manti but it is hard for me to do so until I hear him speak. I think one thing is clear though, and I hate to bring it up amidst all of this, to me, this is the reason why Manti Te’o didn’t show up in the BCS National Championship
