Manti Te’o Theories: Possible Motives And Explainations
Theory #5: Coke Classic
What if… this was a classic case of Catfish? Lonely, awkward, unattractive girl and Notre Dame linebacker fall in love over the internet but it’s all based on a lie and fake persona. As Te’o pushed and pushed to meet her, it all became too much and she killed off her character? This is similar to Theory #4 but rather than a purposed hoax, an actual human being seeking another human being under the guise of a fake identity. This could be true except…

As a rabid ND fan and someone who really felt for Manti and his loss of his grandmother and the person he thought was his girlfriend in such quick succession, I’m going to withhold any judgement until all available facts are out there. As far as speculation goes I think that it’s conceivable that this kid was a victim and when his “loss” became national phenomenon he made up a story about how they met in person to spare himself the embarrassment of announcing to the world he had an online relationship with a woman he had never actually met and I don’t want to believe that he played any part in this hoax beyond that. As a ND fan who doesn’t miss a game and prays to “our lady” on game day for victory all I can say is this sucks..
