I'm sure it will be in the media for a while, so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-510567 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:07:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 510567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrettyLizy: So often, people see/believe the *truth* they want to live, and they don't argue with their own data (perspective)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-510503 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:51:06 +0000 prettylizy 510503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm suspect about it all mostly because I always have such a hard time believing these catfish stories. I DVR MTV's Catfish the TV show and I'm always flabergasted at how deep people get into these online relationships without any real contact with someone else. It apparently happens all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-510478 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:45:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 510478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee: "waiting til we know . . . " this, in and of itself, would change so many relationships (for the better)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-510404 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:19:34 +0000 ladyfingers 510404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509972 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:45:02 +0000 rawrasaur 509972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regardless of how in on it he was, he (and his father) lied to the press on more than one occasion if this person really did not exist.</p> <p>If this is all true, imagine if he had won the Heisman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509944 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:36:22 +0000 plantains 509944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is so hard not judge isn't it. It really is an extremely fishy sounding story though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509922 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:31:45 +0000 Mrsbells 509922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: thats true.. but it all depends on the circumstances... but I do agree somes jumping to judge someone does backfire</p> <p>@BelugaBean: yes I read that too, thats what makes it all the more confusing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509906 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:27:35 +0000 BelugaBean 509906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weren't there articles about how they met originally after a football game and had actually met in person? Maybe I'm wrong (someone please correct me if I am, the articles were a long read so maybe facts got jumbled in my head) but I thought I read that and that's where my issue comes in, that he never corrected those. </p> <p>I mean, maybe he just didn't want to deal with the false stories in news articles but I don't see why someone he knew wouldn't have corrected that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509898 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:25:31 +0000 mrbee 509898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I guess the flip side is, what if people heard a rumor about me (that wasn't true) and immediately started passing judgment? I'd be really bummed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509888 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:23:19 +0000 Mrsbells 509888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I really cant help it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509883 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:20:36 +0000 mrbee 509883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I'm a big fan of waiting til we know the facts before passing judgment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509881 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:19:39 +0000 Mrsbells 509881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: not yet, but thats just how I feel for now based on the infor thats emerged so far. I guess I should hold off judgement? But its hard! I really want answers already </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509868 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:14:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 509868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I heard about it my first reaction was why would a college football star need to have an online girlfriend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509863 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:12:43 +0000 mrbee 509863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: We don't know that for sure yet, do we? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509860 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:12:08 +0000 Mrsbells 509860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he is definitely in on it.

I bet they didn't think the story would get as big as it did. I definitely think Te'o was in on it--he wasn't duped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-teo-hoax#post-509529 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:03:25 +0000 Mrsbells 509529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you guys been following this story? For me the most disturbing part of it is how they used someone else photos to represent the "dead" girl and that person wasnt even aware of it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/17/sport/manti-teo-controversy/?hpt=hp_c1" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/17/sport/manti-teo-controversy/?hpt=hp_c1</a></p> <p><a href="http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dead-girlfriend-the-most-heartbreaking-and-inspirational-story-of-the-college-football-season-is-a-hoax" rel="nofollow">http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dead-girlfriend-the-most-heartbreaking-and-inspirational-story-of-the-college-football-season-is-a-hoax</a> </p>
