I hope you are right, there are conflicting stories about that.

I just don't understand how you could consider someone your girlfriend when you've never met them? I think he might have been in on it.

All anyone needs to know about Notre Dame and it's sacred football program can be found on-line.Punch in Lizzy Seeberg or Declan Sullivan.It is always about the money and the sanctity of the program. I hope much like Penn State that the cover-up gets them.Our universities are supposed to be about learning,not football.

being i am a ND fan this is strange one for sure. :roll:
then brian kelley went for interview after the alabama bowl game next day? :roll:
that is strange too but he said he always wanted to be in NFL.

it does not sound right to me but today he is to speak about it,so i like to hold off on my view of it.
trust me, we went after penn state and joe paterno and buddies cover-up and if ND is covering things up, i will not defend them also.

we hold ND to higher standard then other schools in country.

want to hear how pennstate got there good players? they made a HOTEL MANAGEMENT course

there for ones that had low college education ability.
try that at ND, it aint going to fly.

I've heard it said that some of the most insufferable fans are either Packas or Golden Domers.

Very strange story, so he either lied about having ever met her, or he was in on the hoax. Maybe I'm a cynic but I think he was in on the hoax and was trying to drum up sympathy.

Dude was runner up for the Heisman and face of ND football and couldn't get a real girlfriend? I bet Rudy even had a girlfriend.

Did he want a girl friend?

If he was a victim then ND needs to up their qualification for entrance past whether or not the helmet fits.
If not and he was complicit with the idea of greasing the Heisman skids....classy lassie and a wonder he did not choose Penn State.
The school appeared to decide to remain quiet after December and run interference now......typical Notre Dame.

Him knowing this story was going to break is probably why he played like such crap in the NC game against 'Bama.

Didn't his dad state that the girl had visited them? Strange, very strange.

ND hired investigator today and tateo has hired a PR group to talk for him.lou holtz said iut seems strange on info but said, NO WAY ND WILL COVER THIS UP. if holtz said that, i believe him as i feel he is one of the most honest coachs out there.

Holtz left every program he coached just before they were hit with NCAA sanctions, ND was caught distributing steroids in the locker room under his watch as well.

Not saying he is more or less honest than other college coaches, but I wouldn't take anything he says especially about ND as gospel.

Well to be honest Holtz left MN because we sucked...with no end to the suck in sight, and to go to the Golden Dome.

We had him in MN don't think two many people here consider him an honest guy.

That thought made the rounds in Pennsylvania a while back.
ND liked winning again.
At some point, the kid probably just got caught up in a lie and could not figure how to stop....immaturity does that.
ND would be a different matter.
Bluff and bluster and balme others has already begun.
I expect this will all be swept under some rug soon.....there are short memories for this level of sports pratfalls.

They wouldn't be the only team he coached that stunk and then received sanctions on top of it!

This is pretty much where I am with this hoax thing too. Can you imagine being a 21 yr old kid, the college football world fawning and NFL scouts drooling over you only to then realize you fell for something like this. That's gotta be embarrassing...

I guess we'll see when they get this all sorted out (if they ever really do).

JIM K · Post by **JIM K** » Fri Jan 18, 2013 10:29 am

friends, as you know i sleep/eat ND . but i dont like what i am seeing.
i believe that he knew this and did it.
for ND to say, ITS TERRIBLE HOAX, i dont buy it.GIVE US REASON THAT YOU KNOW IT WAS HOAX!

now he will not talk to kids at ND or media. he has PR group hired.

disgusting.

maybe thats why coach kelly was looking at the NFL opening? day after bowl game?unreal.

friends keep asking questions, keep it going. i hope woman whose picture was used SUES him and ND if true!

I haven't really oaid much attention to this whole thing but as it goes on and on just what is the reason this is such a big deal. There are hundreds of hoaxes every day on the net and a lot of other places that we usually laugh unless they are directed at a person trying to get money from them. So why is it a big deal if this was a hoax aimed at an individual or a hoax he was involved in that did what to who?

I am lost as to why anyone cares?

Yeah, what he said.

Who Cares?

JIM K · Post by **JIM K** » Fri Jan 18, 2013 12:29 pm

well, lance a is finding out what lying did.
taeo was idol to young kids. a person of trust and hard work.
kids looked up to him.
students too.
being he is from ND ,we expect better from him.

no one likes to be HOODWINKED.this he hoped would have helped him with HEISMAN thing, i feel.
you have to admitt, its very strange and i feel he needs to see shrink if what i feel is truth onthis.
now young woman in pic will have lawsuit against him and ND for not reporting it timely before the bowl game.

what is reason kelly was looking at NFL job after having his best season and saying he was staying at ND.
SOMETHING IS BEING HIDDEN, FOR SURE...
