In the days after the Manti Teo story broke I was having trouble getting something from the back of my mind to the front. Where had I heard some of this before, something about phone calls and someone dying and somehow it was connected to Manti? I have known him as a student since he arrived on campus; it was a very casual friendship where we often chatted about family, faith and his schoolwork though, as I recall, we never talked football. I really liked him and how he handled himself, always finding time for anyone he ran into on campus and he had a real knack for remembering names. He was like a big kid just having fun in the moment and his place at Notre Dame.
