Ever since Manti Te'o found out that the woman he was talking to online was actually a man, his family is finally speaking out the terrible hoax that the Notre Dame alum went through.

Since Manti is a mormon that comes from a very strict Hawaiian-Samoan family, his folks were NOT amused when they learned what their loved one was going through, and now his mama, Ottilia is saying:

HOLD UP!

Does this mean if we become Notre Dame fans that there might be a SLIGHT CHANCE at a free Bon Jovi halftime show? Or would that embarrass Jesse Bongiovi, Bon Jovi's son?? LOLz!

Still, this is awesome! And we're hearing that despite going to a school in Brooklyn, he's been wanting to go to Notre Dame in Indiana for a long time! Here's what Jesse had to say:

Manti Te'o hasn't had an easy past few weeks.

We previously mentioned he's the center of an elaborate hoax he may be the victim of or in on.

So he did the smart thing and did an interview with Katie Couric to clear the air on everything.

Though honestly it only just raised more questions.

Katie tried several times to hit him with some real questions. But asking him solid questions would only have worked if his answers weren't so confusing.

Some things we still don't know the answers to:

- Did he know it was fake all along??

- Did he find out before everyone else but go along with it?

- Is he secretly gay and this is all some elaborate cover up?

- Why isn't Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the alleged mastermind behind all this, stepping up?

Basically, we have no way of knowing or finding out unless Manti comes all the way clean!

Maybe U can check out the video (above) and try and figure it out yourself!

Check out Part 2 of the interview AFTER THE JUMP!!

We previously mentioned that a heartbreaking story about a Notre Dame football player, Manti Te'o's girlfriend dying was a total hoax.

His "girlfriend" Lennay Marie Kekua was actually someone he met online and began an intimate online relationship with.

Then it turned out this person never died and possibly never existed.

…or did they??

Romance is in the air! Or at least in USC Quarterback Matt Barkley’s head.

When asked by a reporter what he thinks it would take to get pop star Taylor Swift in the stands, he said, ““I don’t know. Maybe a Notre Dame game [against USC], but that’s a long shot.”

The college quarterback is referring to Taylor attending the Notre Dame vs. Purdue game earlier this year at Notre Dame all decked out in their school’s gear, but that was probably because her little bro’ Austin Swift is a freshman there.

To sweeten the deal the jock proposed, “I’ll take you out to dinner if you come to a USC game.”

That sounds a little weak to us, Barkley. Just dinner? Not even a movie? At least throw in a USC frat party!

Good luck in the chase, sir!

Gusting winds caused a temporary tower to topple, killing a Notre Dame student on Wednesday.

20 year old Declan Sullivan had been filming Notre Dame football practice from a hydraulic scissor lift.

It had been a normal practice that quickly became chaotic. Out of nowhere, the wind picked up and equipment began flying.

The National Weather Service said winds in the area were gusting to 51 mph when the tower fell. The football team had practiced indoors the day before because of the weather.

Sullivan, had posted on his facebook, before the tower fell, that it was "terrifying" being on the tower with such high winds.

This is such a sad story.

We are sure Declan Sullivan will be greatly missed.
