From @lennaykay, tonight:

It isn't fair to drag Reagan and Troy into this.. a lot of truths and myths need to be addressed here, and they will be at noon PST tomorrow

How can a guy who is a heisman trophy runner up at one of the preeminnent universities in the world not have a real life girlfriend?

Brent Musberger is not impressed.

Think of just how fucked up it is that he was lying all about this while his grandmother had just passed away. I mean, really?

I think the deadspin story was a bit harsh.

I feel a little more comfortable believing that he got duped, by this Tuiasusopo kid and a few people that were in on it, he told a bunch of small lies to his family and friends about his "girlfriend", told the same lies to ESPN and other news outlets and never thought he'd be called out on it because he thought it was real. He would have to be fairly disturbed to be in on something like this.

What's odd is that if he really loved her the way he described in interviews why did he not take any time at all off to go see her after an accident or cancer treatment? That's wierd.

I don't know, it seemed like he stretched the truth pretty far to me for someone who didn't know he was being duped.

The other funny part is that this wouldn't even have been nearly as big of a news story if it was just that he had been using performance enhancing drugs.

Imagine the shock and horror for the ND fanbase though if they were confronted with the fact that they are.... just like everyone else.

This thing gets wierder and wierder. I can't wait to see if the girl that the guy from the Cardinals is talking about is the girl he was talking on the phone with every night.

Jamarcus Russell wants to know where he can get some of that Holy Water.

I'm just looking forward to the movie at this point.

Do any of you actually believe he was duped and not in on the whole thing?

He obviously lied about something at some point. I'm just not sure if it was embarrassment from it being an online thing or what.
