Marcus Dupree

[zeke]

Does anyone have video clips or an idea where to look for clips of Marcus Dupree?
My son tells me that his buddy "Marcus" is named after Marcus Dupree.
They would like to see just how good he was.

Thanks
Zeke

Good luck. I hope you find some. I was fortunate enough to see him play in person, and he was a physical phenom. He was 6' 3" and 230 pounds, and also the fastest man on the field. It's too bad he didn't have the work ethic and discipline of AD. He'd have probably won two Heismans if he did.

he was potentially great. go to INsider. they love this feeding frenzy crap. and know way WAY more about football than us here.

[BajaOklahoma]

It will difficult to find more than a series or two of Marcus - any contact usually meant he was out for the rest of the game.
Great potential, horrible to see him waste his opportunity.

I agree.

Neither Marcus nor AD able to perform to their potential. AD, because of injuries, didn't get the Heisman that he truly deserved. Marcus, because of his lack of discipline, didn't get the Heisman that he potentially could have had.

I know what AD is doing these days because of his discipline regimen but I have no idea of whatever happened to Marcus because of the lack thereof.

Marcus, at least a year ago, was working with the Security department at the Mississippi Choctaw Casino and Resort complex in Philadelpia, MS.

Total switch of subject here, but when I looked at that video on youtube it had a link to this video

I was born the year Billy won his Heisman and that is the first time I had see a bunch of his runs put together. Holysweetmotherhowinthehelldidhedothatojhmygoshtha tdudewasgood!!!!!

[MojoRisen]

Marcus Dupree Signed a 5 millon dollar deal to play in the USFL top pick- he blew his knee out bad and back then it ain't easy to come back from an injury like that because they actualy carved you up with a 2 foot scar - today they can scope it and do crazy stuff with cadavers and different muscles as tendons.

Marcus I believe now runs a business actually - and is doing well.

I'm a huge BS fan, but as a football purist if you watch these clips you have to marvel at the O-line domination, on many of these runs Sims has a broken-field opportunity right at the line of scrimmage. The media fails to recognize that most Heisman winners have a superior line working in their favor, Switzer alway praised a dominant O-line...

[fwsooner22]

Right On............Spudman......I saw the same thing........Not to take anything away from Billy.....He is the greatest OU running back in history. IMO

[Seamus]

Billy's my all-time fave, but you have to see this vid:

Silver Shoes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lbuUTz2IUY)

[Seamus]

And this is just flat-out crazy:

No way did he do that! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AocfL-BkJhQ)

There's eight freakin' guys around him in that scrum, and then he blows by two more near the end. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

[starrca23]

Ya, I have seen that Lil Joe stuff before, I actually think he evaded (not broke...evaded) 15 different potential tackles on the USC return.
Football purist or not, I saw more that one clip of Billy breaking 4 and 5 tackles...hitting people head on...and all of that good stuff. No doubt he had a good line, but he was one bad man.

No doubt. All together that was one bad-a** offense. Also, watch the vid again and check some of the fullback blocks, they're devistating, was that Kenny King?

It's a SAD statement when a great recruit/player like Marcus Dupree plays for the great university of oklahoma and receives such great alumni support in the state he played for that the poor dude has to scramble for a job in a freaking Mizzou Indian casino!

Way to go, great Almuni of OU for taking care of your own~!

[fwsooner22]

How do you get Mizzou from Mississippi? Aggie education I bet....Dupree is from Mississippi............How have you survived this long......most people this stupid jump on the crack train and die! That would be a good suggestion for you if you have not tried it yet. It's Friday good day to start. Rock on Moron!

I haven't really called anyone out on this board until now, but you are a complete caque pirate.

Go away before you further embarrass yourself by revealing more of your IQ.

[Flagstaffsooner]

I neg thee, Vic.

[King Crimson]

Billy was the best i've ever seen in person. had it all: speed, power, physical. he should have won the Heisman twice. Charles White? c'mon. Billy with 30 totes a game out the I is a SCARY thought at about 7-8 yards per carry.....

[starrca23]

Oh crap, I don't know who the full back was (like I said I was born in 78), but it almost made me start a new thread entitled: We should go back to the wishbone. That dude was an animal.

[starrca23]

BTW, Vic is a whorn, so you can understand why stupdity flows freely from his posts.

As pointed out by others it is in Mississippi - where Philadelphia, the hometown of Marcus is located. You obviously know very little about Indian casinos either. An upper level position with a security department in a large casino (which the Mississippi Choctaws have) is a pretty nice paycheck. Indian Casinos are not all convenience store conversions. Indian Gaming in the U.S. generates more gross revenue that Vegas and Atlantic City combined. The largest casino in the world - IN THE WORLD - is an Indian Casino in Connecticut. Dupree does not need to be subsidized by his former teammates. He is doing quite well thank you.

[bringit]

Billy was the best i've ever seen in person. had it all: speed, power, physical.

and then he'd fumble.

he'd electrify you then break your heart

[stoopified]

5 million dollar talent,50 cent head.IMHO including him as one of the top 10 greatest runningbacks in OU history and as a all-time top 100 player is bullsh!t.Same goes for Joe Don Looney.

[Seamus]

Agree 100%. He was too selfish to be considered among the greats who actually realized they would have to work for their glory.

[Texas Golfer]

The Sooners have been blessed with many outstanding running backs.

that Patrick Collins run against the Huskers still gives me goosebumps.

good to see some Earl Johnson highlights too!!!

Marcus Dupree pretty well symbolizes all that was wrong with the last few years under Switzer.

In the 1970s, Switzer was blessed with players like Steve Davis, the Selmons and J C Watts who were great players and great leaders for the other players. Barry didn't need to be a disciplinarian; in fact, he actively worked to keep everything loose and encouraged the players to do likewise. Great example is Uwe von Schamann chanting "Block that kick" along with the crowd in Columbus. They didn't, of course; he nailed it and the Sooners won the game, but that looseness and supreme confidence were a major part of Sooner Magic back then.

A little further down the line, things changed, and that reputation started attracting the kids who didn't want (but desperately needed) to play for a no-nonsense tough-discipline style coach. Marcus Dupree, Charles Thompson (CT according to my MIL in Lawton stood for car thief), Buster Rhymes with guns in the athletic dorms.

Don't get me wrong. Switzer was a great college coach, probably the best recruiter ever, and the program was great under his leadership for a long time. But his style worked well with good kids, and he either didn't recognize the need to change styles, or couldn't when he didn't have the kind of players that could keep the other players in line.

[olevetonahill]

Bad as I hate to admit it Sue . I think your spot On .
The Orange Bowl we lost to arkie ?
I remember a statement By the King after the game about him and Lacewell ?
Coming in around 2 am . seeing a few players coming in also . He said hell we been out partying why shouldnt they ?
Ya he got real slack on disipline:mad:

[Seamus]

That was an awesome video. But that Orange Bowl clip from the '86 season against Arkincest reminded me of how much I hated NBC, Don Criqui, Bob Trumpy and Dickhead Enberg.

I still despise these cretins for the bitter, unflattering way they always spoke of OU.

what the hell???? He left during the frickin season. He left his coach, his team and his school. he had a full ride and a national stage, what the heck else does OU owe him?
I say a kick in the nuts.

I remember people saying that PT could of been an option QB. If you watch Charles Thompson in that clip you would realize how fast our QBs were back then. He left EVERYONE in the dust on that one run. PT never had that kind of speed.

Heck, look at what happened at Neb. toward the end of Tom's reign, Miami, Colorado, Baylor, FSU, Alabama, etc...

Just saying, Switzer was sort of a victim of modern day athletics. He just went through it first.
