This is what I was thinking too.So my first thought was that Teo is gay and was in a relationship with Tuiasosopo, and they invented this girl as a possible cover up. Am I off base?
At least they didn't depict her as of Hawaiian descent and give her the name Madonna Ho...They have dug themselves a deep hole. Their statement is contrary to Manti and his dad's tweets about meeting face to face - in Hawaii, no less. Certainly can see why he decided to decline the Senior Bowl...
Yep; not to mention meeting in Palo Alto after the game (presumably face to face). But that would've been at night, so he didn't get a clear look and in Hawaii, she always wore sunglasses (even indoors), so he never really saw her face and the photos are of a doppleganger.They have dug themselves a deep hole.

This will probably be true, if only to make the media look better for being duped.The thing that gets me about all of this is how poorly the media does their job. Their job isn't to report what people tell them to report, it's to investigate and report. They have a habit of reporting what they want, rather than doing their job though and this is yet another example.
He never deserved to be a Heisman finalist anyway, but this? He makes up a girlfriend and then kills her off? Yet, watch closely.

Maybe but ND certainly never acknowledged the real-life sequel.Notre Dame probably made up that whole stupid Rudy story, too.
That's already been established. Moving on, how could SI and the South Bend Tribune buy this:Notre Dame probably made up that whole stupid Rudy story, too.
