Ah, I forgot about this .. Teehee.
On Thursday, the name āLennay Kekuaā popped back up on the internet as college football fans snickered at the fact it had been exactly one year since former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teāo's fake girlfriend supposedly died from ācomplications due to leukemiaā on Sept. 12, 2012.
As you remember, Teāo had a āheroicā performance against Michigan State just a couple days later, with 12 tackles in a 20-3 victory in East Lansing that sparked the Irishās undefeated regular season. It was in January that Deadspin revealed that Kekua was, in fact, a giant hoax and, well, you know the rest.
The Twittersphere certainly hasnāt forget, as many honored the one-year anniversary with snarky tweets like this:
One year ago today, Lennay Kekua died, before she even had a chance to live. #neverforget

On this day, one year ago, Lennay Kekua passed away. One RT = One prayer

We hope Teāo, now with the San Diego Chargers, had time to do the same.
