I've been thinking the same thing. No way someone didn't recognize her photo.The girl in the photos comes out and says she only knew of Manti Te'o a few weeks ago. You mean to tell me none of her friends or acquaintances didn't see the photos used when telling Manti's sweet love story and call her up to ask her about being in a relationship with him?
lot of people didn't even notice. I heard often about his "dead girlfriend" but never saw her picture till this story broke.I've been thinking the same thing. No way someone didn't recognize her photo.
I can't put my finger on why the media is so willing to at least participate in this narrative where Te'o was the victim? They don't even press him that hard on all the lies he said while he allegedly believed her to be a real person. To me that is the biggest issue here. I can understand why he kept quite in the month leading up to his team's national title. In that sense, I agree with the decision...by stating she was fake soon after the phone call, he brings an unwanted limelight on his program at a time when 84 other men are trying to win the biggest prize in the sport. What I don't understand is the well-crafted lies with the seeming intent to make a more endearing story for the media.
The fact he kept quiet all of December may seem like a big issue to the "truth finders" in the media who would have loved that story all month before the BCSCG. I don't really care about that much, it is all the lies in September and October that are damning.
Until this story broke, I'd never seen her picture or heard her, Te'os fake girlfriend's, name. And I'm a huge college football fan, but I despise Notre Dame and refuse to listen to any of their feel good media propaganda. So I could easily believe no one recognized her photo.I've been thinking the same thing. No way someone didn't recognize her photo.
I'm not on anything much anymore, except 20 meter DX. and not too much of that now days.Are you familiar with K4ZGB (Tuscaloosa/Northport)?
He ain't the first Hawaiian the media has covered for, coddled, and refused to investigate.I can't put my finger on why the media is so willing to at least participate in this narrative where Te'o was the victim?

I pretty much tune out any of those 'feel good' stories anyway, unless it's a Bama player.Until this story broke, I'd never seen her picture or heard her, Te'os fake girlfriend's, name. And I'm a huge college football fan, but I despise Notre Dame and refuse to listen to any of their feel good media propaganda. So I could easily believe no one recognized her photo.
They were played like a fiddle...now they're in cover their rear end mode.I can't put my finger on why the media is so willing to at least participate in this narrative where Te'o was the victim?
It's not supposed to work this way...I'm not on anything much anymore, except 20 meter DX. and not too much of that now days.
After I retired I don't have time to do anything anymore.
Wonder if this Tuiasisapo fella is from the 661 area code? If so hammer meet nail...this is just me thinking out loud but a lot of stuff in his story still doesn't add up... he says things like "the girl i was committed to" and "the love of my life" and no one ever says, dude you supposedly never met this chick and now you're "committed" to the "love of your life"... WOW... now after sitting back and taking a look at this whole story, it's my opinion that T'eo and the Tuiasisapo (sp?) dude had a relationship they wanted to hide and found a way to communicate with each other without T'eo having to admit he's really in a relationship with another dude... the other dude pretended to be a chick, and when they got caught they are spinning it into some hoax where the "girl" really didn't exist... what no one is talking about is how T'eo was really talking to "someone" as phone records prove, we just don't know "who"... and that's why i think they came up with this fake chick to hide their relationship and it ended up getting out in the public that the chick wasn't real... and it's weird to me that the media hasn't asked the dude why he be so "involved" with someone he's supposedly never met
