Dear Travis, Every fanbase/school has hurtful people

You just have to overlook them as they are in the great minority but when they speak they draw alot of attention. 99% of us wish Mike the best and if all possible a return to Clemson. Hopefully he wiil grow from this-some on this board never have and never will.

Also Travis, they did the exact same with Sammy. Perfect people are very hard to find when you need them. But when good people make a mistake or just don't get it. The perfect people are every where telling them just how sorry and worthless they are. I've never cared much for perfect people. They are Two Faced, and they talk out of both sides of their mouth.

Travis, you have to learn fast that our rival in
columbia, hates clemson fans and players.they can
get on here and trash players etc and pretend to
be clemson fans.you are correct, true clemson fans
wouldn't trash the university or the players.

Totally agree with Blanks. This bashing Bellamy is crazy from CLEMSON so called fans!

Re: Bashing Mike Bellamy


May 16, 2012, 11:02 AM

I agree, I read some posts that made me want to scream and shout at those Clemson sports fans. What do they think is gained by venting their disappointment in such an inappropriate way. I am disappointed too, I wanted to watch Bellamy play some more in orange and purple. But I hope he does well and is able to come back to Clemson for his last year of eligibility but I know that is extremely hard to do at CU.

Re: Bashing Mike Bellamy

Any Tiger fan is going to be disappointed. Even Tiger fans that don't care for FB. But just b/c he has disappointed us. That doesn't mean he should be disrespected b/c he isn't with the team anymore.

With a little luck, Bellamy will be back in a year and a lot stronger, wiser and more mature.

Best of luck Mike! There are a lot of Tiger Fans rooting for you!

Re: Football Player Update: Travis Blanks talks Mike Bellamy


May 16, 2012, 11:10 AM

I have not seen to many posts bashing the kid now, any more than the day of the ACC championship game when he got caught smoking reefer in his hotel room.

All I can say is the kid needs to grow up and it seems like he was given more of a chance under Dabo than any other player under since he has been our head man.

I wish him the best, but then again, he let the entire clemson nation, himself, and his team mates down by not doing what the other 84 scholarship players do day in and day out.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There are some folks on here that love to hate their own.


May 16, 2012, 11:14 AM

Hate the players, the coaches, the s&c, the admin, the AD, the BOT, etc...what exactly do you like about Clemson? I thought you had to like SOMETHING about a team to be a fan. It's mind boggling.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Bellamy is being "trashed" out of frustration.........


May 16, 2012, 11:15 AM

Look, I wish nothing but the best for Bellamy, but in the same breath I no longer feel compelled to cut him slack.

He has a God given talent very few of us will ever have and all he really had to do wash show up on time, study and do what he is told.........Period. It is really that simple. He was provided free education, room, board and 3 squares and one of the best Universities in the South if not the US.

Bellamy has been worked with and given ample opportunity to get his act together and he is not. If he has a learning disability, I would think it would have been identified.

It is perfectly normal to be unbelievably frustrated to see a potential great talent squander such a great opportunity.

^^^Lame response.........^^^


May 16, 2012, 11:28 AM

Bellamy is not the first kid who did not work out and won't be the last. If anything, I think the coaches, and maybe players, rode Bellamy pretty hard to get him back in line. All you have to do is say "Too bad it did not work out. Best wishes." End of story.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You have to be kidding...


May 16, 2012, 1:24 PM

"All you have to do is say "Too bad it did not work out. Best wishes." End of story."



That is the problem with this whole generation of young people. There are not enough people sticking a foot up their butts when they screw up. Mike still has his whole life ahead of him and it can be a great one. Right now, all of his mistakes can be fixed. If he chooses. He needs to be ridden like a rented donkey at this point in his life or he will be the next Lawrence Phillips.

Too many kids are being coddled for their screw up. The a guy like Sammy Watkins, when he screws up, he gets right in front of the issue and acts like a man and takes responsibility for his actions. Watkins was't exactly raise in paradise.

I hate this for Clemson, but I hate it for Mike Bellamy, even more. All have made mistakes and wish we could have a do-over at times. He is young, and hopefully this is the wake up he needs to mature and to move ahead in a positive way with his life. I would love for him to get the grades, etc. worked out and return to Clemson and contribute to the team. He is a great athlete and could help us in the future.

May 16, 2012, 11:46 AM

I wish Mike Bellamy all the best and great success in life. But the facts is that he was given a great opportunity, and with opportunities come responsibilities and expectations. Mike failed to meet those responsibilities and expectations. Fact. That isn't bashing him, that is fact. Hopefully he will learn from this and come out a better person who can commit himself to meeting expectations and responsibilities when given an opportunity.

Dabo hasn't had enough time to teach him responsibility..........he should have learned that at home,,,,if it's anyone's fault, BLAME THE PARENTS, or the lack thereof..........I wish him all the best, because the time I have spent talking with him, he seems to be a pretty decent kid....I hope Mike gets the guidence he needs and look forward to seeing him play again !!!!!!!!

I'm sure he's a decent kid, I have no doubt. But, ultimately Mike will have to learn that it is all up to him.

You know, honestly, there have been a few people talking negatively about it but i have seen the majority of the posts are wishing him well. In any situation, people are going to have their own opinions. Bellamy DID have every opportunity to have something special at Clemson and he blew it. That doesn't mean he can't get his act together and hopefully return to Clemson but if not, then succeed somewhere else. I wish him the best and am not going to look at Tiger Nation as a whole for bad mouthing him when only a few have.

May 16, 2012, 12:09 PM

Clemson fan". EVERYONE that posts on tigernet is NOT a true Clemson fan. In fact, MANY on here are fans of opposing teams pretending to be fans. Some go to elaborate lengths to place themselves beyond reproach, much in the same way that child molesters do. DON'T TAKE IT TO HEART.

This is driving me up the wall.... How can some people be so quick to kick athletes to the curb. When things are not going well. The hollier than though attitude is uncalled for.

WE ARE CLEMSON! WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT!!

With a little luck, Bellamy will be back in a year a lot stronger, wiser and more mature. He just needs time, guidance and support.

Best of luck Mike! There are a lot of Tiger Fans rooting for you! There's nothing more than than we would love to see you come back and have a great career & graduate. We're behind you, Mike!

I've been pulling for Clemson since before Blanks was born. Mike Bellamy had a bad attitude and was a bit of a troublemaker. I haven't trashed his name, but even if I choose to, Blanks is in no position to tell me I'm not a true Clemson fan. I'd die for Clemson.

simply amazing how words can be twisted to make it anything you like and dislike. for instance what i got from it was dont trash the kid because he could not cut it in the classroom. not everyone is as smart as you guys on this board. by all accounts mike had been a model citizen since january. why cant we all just wish the guy luck and hope he makes it in life. you know, like all of you seem to have.
