in college 2 guys can wear the same number BUT Can NOT be on the field at the same time.

Unless you happen to be ND playing at home in OT against Pitt...then they miss that call

so texas a m is the best team in the country..:tro:

Score shows it probably didn't matter but who knows, on ND's first drive Eifert clearly caught the ball before going out of bounds but the refs flubbed that call.

And I still think it should be 7-0 Alabama but Notre Dames ball on their 30 yard line after the fumbled punt and terrible interference call by the refs yet again. Momentum would have been huge.

Please stop.

I think your last post was correct, lets not play the what if game. ND was just not physically up to the task. They were beat by a better more physical team. A few calls would not have changed the outcome. ND had a great year.

I agree Alabama was the better team and NDs only chance was to catch breaks and gain momentum. Can everyone agree the refs blew that fumbled punt? Things would have looked alot better and it would have at least been 7-3 if not 7-7 early and who knows way might have happened.

Even if it was 7-7 Notre Dame would have still gotten the sh.it kicked out of them. They looked like they didn't belong on the field last night with Alabama.

I'm so sick of reading Notre Dame homers whining about the refs. You guys got crushed. In every facet of the game.

If you're going to talk sh.it for the last 4 months, you can't really whine when your team gets destroyed like that.

On a diff topic, I had a party last night with family and close friends. One of my buddies invited one of my use to be best friends over who is addicted to methadone, Xanax, adderal. $300 was stolen out of my drawer and I know from the past he is a thief, I've seen him steal from people numerous times. He was in my wedding and once my best friend, I have kept him out of trouble and always gave him money when he needed help.

Question is, should I call him out for it?

:wf

huh?:zz:

Just venting out on here, rambling on.

:tro:

Bama kicked our ass, actually made it less painful and easier to handle.

Hey, I'm an LSU alum and fan...at least your team crossed midfield and scored some points

No, you just let him get over on you. :rolleyes:

You show up at his house (or his job, if he has one) and you drag him out of there by his hair and lay a beatdown on him. Or you just slander him on facebook for his friends and family to see.

I know one thing, people that fit that description never make it to the foyer of my home. If they did and stuff comes up missing, I'm blaming myself.

:tro:

It's on me, just didn't expect it from someone I've always helped out and pretty much have anything I could/saved his life/kept out of trouble. Lesson learned.

I think your buddy should shoulder some (actually most) of the blame, he's the one who invited the guy to your party.

You pretty much had a bad night all around.

if he's a thief, he's a thief. and i'm sure he justified it to himself, taking from you.
i'd call him. tell him 'i know what you did, make it right'.

In retrospect....this is some pretty funny sh.it.

yes it is! OVER-hyped LB and MUCH More OVER-hyped nd football team!

I'm waiting for more info to come out, but I still say his caring personality was taken advantage of and he was sucked in to fall in love with a girl he thought was sick and dying. Only thing I can fault him for is making up parts of the story, but I think that was out of embarrassment that he was in love with someone strictly online. The truth will come out, trust me I wasn't always defending manti. I called my buddies and my dad when news first broke and told them I can't believe this guy and I lost all respect for manti. Once I calmed down and heard more facts I began to believe he is that same high character guy and will believe until proven otherwise.

And you guys thought ND was no longer relevant, this **** is bigger than lance Armstrong simply because it happened at ND.

yeah, i was thinking of those comments after i first heard about teo. people have got to stop thinking ability or talent equals 'good guy'.

yeah, he's clean as the driven snow...that's why he was still talking about his dead g/f weeks after he'd found it was a hoax. :rolleyes:

How do you know he has a caring personality? Teammates came out today and said they barely knew him.

How can you be such a leader...yet your teammates barely know you?

At the very least, he lied when he continued this nonsense when he "found out" the whole thing was a hoax in late December. Do high character guys continue to lie..or do they take on issues?

Ask yourself this...if Deadspin never uncovered this, would he ever have admitted it all? I say no way.

Don't say teammates, it was on teammate from everything I found. Teo and his family I believe were waiting it out to try to figure out the persons motive, possibly distortion??? Plenty notre dame players are blasting whoever this anonymous teammate is right now calling him a cowherd after everything they've been through this year. Plenty of guys know him and check his charity work.

Everyone says the guy did not go out and party and if he wasn't at practice or studying for his classes he was watching movies and laying low. Not the typical college student and dubbed a homebody. Why is it so far fetched that he fell in love with someone online and then the story spiraled out of control?

Mike Golic talked about this morning how he didn't know him at all. Not that Golic is the end all be all, but he knows most of the team, but doesn't know him at all. Kind of odd...no?

You can continue to avoid the mounting evidence that the kid isn't the saint you have made him out to be. Sorry I have a hard time believing he's a saint and if you read the reports (not the ones on ND fans message boards) he always had reasons why reporters couldn't talk to either the made up girls family...or see pictures...anything to verify she actually existed.

I realize you'll keep ignoring this, but I'm going to keep asking. If deadspin never uncovered this, do you think Teo would have ever said anything?

Also, you don't find it just a little questionable that a college guy with the resources to have pretty much any girl on his or any campus would choose to basically have a pen pal for a girlfriend? He never wanted to meet her? Never wanted to Skype? Didn't go to her funeral?

Come on man.

Mormons are strange people, and yes he was going to let the story out... I explained that he was waiting to see if the motive was distortion so he could move on it legally. Now he can't.

Wanna buy a bridge?

I remember when I believed everything my favorite athletes said. Then I turned 10 and realized I was being an idiot.

extortion ?
is that what you mean?

Frankly, Notre Dame players blasting another for telling the truth doesn't hold water. Read the link below and see how Notre Dame players rush to the defense of their teammates, even after the teammate allegedly committied a heinous crime.

http://ncronline.org/news/accountabi...stions-answers

I'm sure the crimes and cover ups happen at many other Univerisities and I am not trying to single out ND, but the blind defense "because players are blasting" another, should not be used in this case.

You can add this statement to your funny sh1t list Hossy.

what is that?

at any rate, teo isn't the up and up person you seem to think he is. at the very least, he allowed the deception to continue after supposedly realizing it was a hoax.
teo claimed that he met this girl in 09, exchanged numbers. now it was suddenly all online? this is what happens when ones lies snowball. he's not too bright about all this, and he's lying. the only question now is how big a part he played in the whole hoax.

i posted yesterday it doesn't fit the definition of extortion, so now i think he's making things up. you know, like his fave nd player is doing.

well done bigs, excellent point.

and as for the above, where you quote him saying it's only big cause it's at notre dame.....how utterly ridiculous. the guy came in second in heisman voting, and at least one voter said yes, part of the reason he voted for the lyin hawaiian is the back story...and his team was just in the title game. so yeah, if nd was unranked and no bowl and it was a linebacker who produced as much all year as in the title game, we'd still hear about this story?? lol suuuure.
