Manti Te'o runs slow 4.81 at combine
I guess it is understandable.
After all, his girlfriend died...

Never thought he was an "elite" athlete like the ones in the SEC anyway. He's "good", but he's not "great".

Yup, It is perfectly fine to pull this out of the combine thread. He was remarkably unimpressive. Remarkably.

Me to. I am not even sure he would have started for us except in the place of Jenkins when hurt but just because of his experience. However, that may not even been the case because I do not remember any of our lb's missing as many tackles as he did in the NCCG.

One doesn't need to be fast to play in the SAC (Service Acadamy Conference). ND looking to replace Michigan with Coast Guard.

I could be wrong, but I expect he will overtake the Boz as the biggest over-hyped MLB in college.

I think this is what a lot of people thought he would run. I mean is he really overrated if we all thought he was overrated? This is really worth its own thread?

You don't have to comment if it is beneath you! Simply move on!
For those of us that think it is humorous, please indulge us the ability to poke fun at an overrated player whose star still seems to be shining in spite of it's lack of fuel.

How he got more heisman votes than any defensive only player in history will be a question that will boggle historians for generations.

Don't blame him, blame the sleezy media. You can't trust them any more.

Simple answer: Media+ND love= overhype to nth degree.
Mystery solved.

I'm with u... If someone doesn't like the thread, then don't click on it. It isn't mandatory one does. And I agree this should have its own thread.
