Didn't he say he made interceptions in her memory on the day of her funeral service or something? I'm shocked the national media didn't try to interview her parents, show photos of her gravestone, etc. I mean, the most cursory background check would have brought this to light. There are too many videos and too many quotes -- whoever thought the "he was hoodwinked" thing was going to work is obviously stupid and naive, oh, wait....
He also said he met her in person after a Stanford game and spoke with her for hours every day she was in the hospital. It's hard for me to imagine what got this ball rolling to the point he felt he had to roll with it.

Odd indeed.

While not a handsome man, he is not exactly homely looking either. I can't believe with all the co-eds on campus at ND he couldn't find one instead of having a supposed internet relationship. I mean he's a football player and any shallow girl would go for a starter.
Teo is lying. He never was duped. He was the one trying to dupe everyone else and build up his reputation through a dead girlfriend who he knew never existed!
