fan forum fans of Notre Dame that now have the duty to be Manti Te'o's rock. You owe him support, in return for the blood, sweat and teenage years that he gave up to your team. All of us owe Manti Te'o for the wins and lessons that we have received from him. Mr. Te'o, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors in the National Football League.

And I cried because the mediocrity of the Bob Davie years, the smoke and mirrors of the Ty Willingham years, the unfulfilled promises and rock bottom devastation of the Charlie Weis years finally caught up with me.
