re: Who remembers Marcus Dupree?

Yes. He was a man amongst boys. I'm just glad I was in middle school when he was playing, because my 165 pound arse playing safety would've hated to have seen him break into the open field heading for me. That dude was a beast.

I remember him well. Saw him play in person. When he was in high school the New Orleans s times picayune would have updates on his games. Followed him his high school senior year, unbelievable talent. That’s about the time uncles and preachers started showing up “for the kid”.

I remember him very well. Saw him play in the Superdome when he was part of the short-lived New Orleans Breakers (owned by Joe Canizaro) in the early eighties. Fantastic talent who was maybe the biggest underachiever of his time. He was unstoppable in college.

I’ve seen the documentary several times and read Switzer’s book. Switzer regrets not being able to reach Dupree, but every coach has those regrets with players who didn’t live up to their potential.
Bryant had 2... both running backs..

You mean the same coach that would send his coaches to coaching seminars, then frick their wives while they were away? Yeah he was a stand up guy…
I've seen people in the military and corporate world do that as well....

Switzer developed too many studs at OU and is too beloved by former Sooner players to be someone difficult to play for.
Half dozen guys from alma mater went on to play for him in the late 80’s - early 90’s. Everyone knows the Boz, but there was an absolute menace at the other LB. spot right next to him that went on to play for the Bears, the Mig.
To a man they all have the same description of playing for Switzer. They saw him 3X’s a week. No less, no more and never during the off-season. Team meeting on Monday to start the week, in the coach’s tower, rain or shine on Wednesday’s barking on the bullhorn, and Game Day.

I remember him playing for the Breakers. #22.
Today, he looks like he swallowed about 3 of that guy.

There's a 30 for 30 on him called Best that Never Was. It's pretty good.
I loved this one. The scene with him watching his old highlights was great stuff.
That crooked reverend in Hattiesburg needs to be in prison.
The fact that the only time he got emotional was talking about his brother really said a lot about him.
