Bellamy's side of the story.... 
“We were leaving some apartments, and a couple of girls wanted to take a picture with us. So we were in their room for like 30 seconds. I didn’t even know the (bong) as in the picture. After I tweeted out (the picture), I started getting all kinds of text messages. Then I looked closely at the picture, and I was like ‘What?’ I deleted the picture, but it was already out there.”
Bellamy said the picture was discussed with Oregon’s coaches before he left campus on Sunday morning.
“I told them the story, and that none of the football players had anything to do with it. It as just some girls I was taking pictures with. I guess the girls were using it before we got there. It was just there on the table. It is what it is.”
What was the reaction from the Oregon coaches? “They understood. But … these girls on college campuses, they probably know more about the recruits than the coaches do. Once they saw me, they wanted to take pictures with me and the other recruits. But like I said, the coaches understood. It wasn’t in a football player’s room. It was just girls that wanted pictures with us.”
Did Bellamy learn any lessons from the experience? “Yes, definitely. At a young age, you don’t realize you’re living in a fishbowl. I’ve learned I’ve got to be more aware of my surroundings. Everything happens for a reason.”
Note:... Bellamy said that UGA still leads, but that Oregon has passed Tennessee for runner-up...
