I was feeling sympathetic up until those text messages. No joke goes that far.

This has to be the weirdest story I've read (it's about Te'o)

I’m impressed that you were able to redirect a 9-year old thread.

January 16, 2013. One of the most memorable days of College Football, and it wasn't even in season.
I was in my car and I heard some bombshell news (at least for us): Chip Kelly had signed with the Eagles. The reason it piqued my interest is that the NCAA was closing in on some violations on Duck players, so I had my suspicions that the Chipster had additional motivation to bail suddenly.
I got home and was searching for news of Kelly leaving UO, and found another juicy tidbit. Some background - USC was at the Sun Bowl, and had already lowered the bar with their pregame behavior. One player had tweeted "El Paso is a sh***y city" and Lane Kiffen brought his team to the pregame dinner either an hour or 90 minutes late (George Tech took off before they arrived). On Jan 16, the story broke that there was a big brawl in the USC locker room post game, as younger players felt the seniors hadn't given their best effort.
I then turned on ESPN to see how they were treating these stories. There wasn't even a mention. What a day that was.

I vote for continuing this discussion on the resurrected-zombie thread. Long threads are great for historical context purposes :)

9 year thread resurrection, impressive. Must be a record for these parts.
Has anybody watched the Netflix doc? I find most of them to be pretty shitty, stretching material into a multipart limited series, spending too much time on random talking heads and their particular beefs and takes, instead of the actual subject, etc. But once I start I feel compelled to finish...

And thus we called Notre Dame by the name "UDFG" for several years - The University of Dead Fake Girlfriends. There was some debate at the time over whether it should be UFDG or UDFG and we decided the later encompasses the whole story a bit better. /Lefty
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

Well, did the girlfriend fake die or did the fake girlfriend die?
Probably should have been UFDFG

OK, corollary. Was the fake girlfriend a virgin or because she was fake then did she ever had a chance to do the rolling like thunder under the covers thing?
