I never talk down about one of our players or Clemson. But I will have to agree with you there with the statement. We have and have had some greats at Clemson. Mike just never gave HIMSELF the chance to be one of those. But I do believe if he would have put his all into all things that make you great, he could have been one of them. Good luck to Mike and I hope he will make it back.

mike was just not mentally suited to be at Clemson yet...I believe in him though...he will mature and get it right eventually. Too bad for Clemson, because from a RB perspective his talent was off the charts in potential. Not too many 5 star kids sign to play at Clemson from the RB position....

If Mike would've applied hislef, he could be unstoppable...


May 16, 2012, 9:36 AM [ in reply to not to step on the kid why he's drowning.. but please ]

Instead he wanted to not take this seriously and unfortunately this is where it landed him. What a wasted talent...

He still has time to change the path. I wish Mike nothing but the best moving forward.

Re: I wasnt great in school either...


May 16, 2012, 11:50 AM

Though Mr.Bellamy may have squandered a chance of a lifetime, please don't judge a man for his academic inadaquicies. Mike has a long list of learning disabilities, and has fought through them his entire life. Please don't judge a young man who has never been a gifted student. Yes he is lazy, yes he is talented, yes he blew a shot at greatness.
However, I believe in living like JC. Forgive, and hope and pray that he will have the fight left in him to overcome all of the "I told you so's", the haters, and going from Death Valley and 85000 Tiger Fans, to 300 fans at some tiny little juco. I will never stop believing in Mike Bellamy! I will never stop routing for the under dog, no matter how many people are against him.
We will always love you mike! prove them all wrong!!!!
Fight for what you want, and never give up!!!

May 15, 2012, 11:47 PM

his entire life then couldn't step up and be a man when he had to. Tons of people with far worse childhoods and backgrounds have overcome a lot worse and gone on to be successful. The fact is, he blew it, he didn't appreciate his opportunities and didn't step up. Roscoe lost a few friends, Tony Elliot lost his parents!! Come on. I'm tired of excuses being made for these kids blowing their opportunities!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You couldn't me more wrong if you tried....


May 16, 2012, 10:22 AM

I'm sick of people downing Roscoe, calling him a bust, everybody has troubles, etc....

The kid (at that time) had friends killed in a car wreck on their way to see HIM play baseball in Florida. And not long after his brother drowned. Yeah we all have had to deal with horrible things, but don't for one minute act like this is just life and he should've dealt with it like you think he should. I can't imagine having to go through what he went through and still, from a mental standpoint, try to live up to all the expectations that the WORLD put on him. Why don't you have a little sympathy for the guy and understand that everybody deals with hardships different, and it doesn't make them a bad person or a bust, or whatever ya'll want to say about him. Show some d@mn respect for one of our own.

May 15, 2012, 11:23 PM

Some guys just aren't ready for college and clearly Mike was one of those guys. I still remember as a freshman sitting in Tillman auditorium and being given the "look to the left and look to the right - one of you will never graduate from Clemson University". Now I don't know if it is actually 33% but there certainly are more than a few that don't finish for whatever reason. Frankly it has nothing to do with him being an athlete its just the way it is. I know that there are tremendous support systems in place for athletes but they don't guarantee success.

At the end of the day it does nobody any good to bash nor make excuses for a player who doesnt make it academically. I wish Mike the best in life whether that future includes Clemson or not (now if he ends up in chickenville I may have to reevaluate that).

Martavis Bryant is very fast. Martin Jenkins is supposedly the fastest 40 guy on the team. Germone Hopper is a blazer and a true freshmen. Point is speed isnt a problem and is rarely a problem at Clemson in the last 10 years i think the only slow team Clemson had was the 2010 team but that was mainly the offense.
