Comments about ‘A Cougar converted: Mark Bellini, the '84 national championship and beyond’

Great story. Thanks. Here's to great college football players and even better people.

Some dispute the relevance of 1984, a few to the point of believing it didn't really happen.

But this, this is relevant. Thanks Mark, for the things you gave and the things you've been given. And for the courage and faith to accept them all.

Some of my most treasured memories of boyhood are of watching the Bellini brothers play at BYU. So glad to hear that we are connected by more that just BYU Football. We are connected by the testimony of the Book of Mormon that burns in our hearts.

great story...not sure about the relevance of BYU's 84 season...but more important Matt Bellini life story was wonderful to read and had a powerful message for myself.

Nice story. I still remember Bellini making lots of plays in the '84 season. I listened on the radio frequently then, as I worked most of the time the games were played. So I remember the name being used frequently.

Played with both Bellini brothers. Both class acts.

I know Mark, he's a good guy. Love's to hunt now days so that makes him an even better guy :)

Great Story...thank you for sharing your story...truly inspiring.

Fantastic article! I love reading of conversion stories and, with my sports fanaticism, even better when it involves an athlete. I wish you the best, Mark, and appreciate your articles, Trent. Keep 'em comin'!

This story was so good I read it twice and smiled, thinking, this world is a great place for the honest in heart...Mark, thanks for your example and living a life that exemplifies what matters most.

That is what football should be about - life. Thanks for a wonderful story.

John Fugal was my BYU bishop my freshman year. A great man, still alive today.

Great story! I had a Spanish class with Mark at BYU and remember how kind he was off the field. So happy to know a little more about his conversion and about his life after BYU. Beautiful family!
