Now knowing what we know about Manti Te’o and the infamous girlfriend hoax, we thought it was worth going into the Twitter vault and finding 140-character snippits from his account that might seem funny/ironic/odd with the benefit of hindsight. Well, thank you hindsight. And thank you [comedian/Parks and Recreation writer] Joe Mande, for plucking out a whole bunch of these already.

A little over an hour ago, Deadspin’s Tim Burke and Jack Dickey dropped a bombshell on the internet. Manti T’eo – near-Heisman winner and probable 1st round pick in April’s upcoming NFL Draft – does not have a dead girlfriend after all.

When Alabama crushed Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game, Alabama was declared the champion of college football. Of course the AP still releases its year-end poll, and the BCS its final standings, but both still had Alabama at the top. One computer, however, didn’t.

Well, it sure didn’t take Brian Kelly long to wash out the foul taste in his mouth after his Fighting Irish’s awful 42-14 loss at the hands of Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game. One day after the game, and one day ago, Kelly interviewed for the Philadelphia Eagles head coaching vacancy.

Because we’re here to make snap judgments (so you don’t have to!), let’s get started early here in the BCS title game. With the benefit of hindsight, these few early calls that went against the Irish might not even make a difference — the Crimson Tide are pretty much rolling (get it?), up 21-0 in the first quarter. It’s been a decidedly one-sided game so far, but these calls certainly didn’t help Notre Dame. Let’s examine.

14,500 tickets were available for 100,000+ Notre Dome students and alumni seeking to attend the BCS National Championship Game. Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, one of the hopefuls, did not happen upon a stroke of luck. So he almost couldn’t attend the game entirely.

Saturday means college football, which means you were either out partying and didn’t particularly care, or you were out watching the games and getting hammered, which means you don’t remember what happened. Either way, let’s take a look at the top stories, including some title game drama and an emphatic cap on a Heisman bid.

There will be some major changes at the top of the BCS standings after this weekend as both no. 1 Kansas State and no. 2 Oregon both lost last night, while the rest of the top 10 (actually, the top 17) all won, and an unlikely new no. 1 team emerges…

Happy Halloween! If you were like most of the country, you went to a Halloween party last night and missed a lot of action while you were out getting drunk on pumpkin ale.

4th and goal from the one-yard line. Stanford ball, trailing Notre Dame 20-13. Running back Stepfan Taylor takes the handoff and appears to score, only the referees rule him down shy of the goal line, both in real time and after review. But was he down? YOU MAKE THE CALL.
