The Oklahoma Star Running Back That Disappeared. Marcus Dupree's Bizarre Story

Marcus Dupree espn 30 for 30 is a must watch.

[@gregorylagrange]

Yes it is. Educational, entertaining, and heartbreaking all at the same time.

[@wildcat8598]

One of my favorite ESPN 30 for 30 episodes. This dude was the truth. Eric Dickerson, Bo Jackson type of athlete but couldn’t get out of his own way and let home sickness take over. The injury he had is always sad of course but his comeback and working out in his garage and quoted by the local sports reporter said Marcus came to the door “looking like a Greek god”. He had speed, agility, power and toughness. Dude could outrun you, juke you or run you over. Plus dude had great hands, was a great blocker and is one of those “could’ve been’s” as in could’ve been one of the best ever. At the end where he’s on his old decrepit high school field and is crying when saying he played so hard for his brother because he couldn’t. Definitely gut me the first time I watched it.

[@johndavis9321]

Agreed a great 30 for 30 and imo Duprees downfall was moreso due to hangers on and leeches and not having the right people in his corner as well as the coaching staff at Oklahoma completely mismanaging him

There was a 30 for 30 called 'The Greatest that never was', it was about Marcus. Marcus was plagued with insecurity, he didn't have the FATHER that he NEEDED to give him the confidence to succeed. Fatherless homes create a lot of problems for a LOT of people.

Marcus Dupree was the best running back I ever saw!!! Its a shame it was for such a short period of time. I believe he was better than all the greats. Bo Jackson Eric Dickerson Herschel walker Tony Dorset Billy Sims. Marcus Dupree was an incredible running back, that was given that gift from God, plain and simple. People say Marcus was the best that never was, but those of us who saw him play know he is one of the greatest running backs to ever play!!!

Some guys just reach their peak earlier and often those same guys aren’t necessarily that great longevity wise. Dupree and Walker are the only 2 RBs I’ve seen that could’ve played in the nfl at age 18, not on future potential but be a legitimate NFL player already at 18.

Marcus Dupree’s raw talent for running with a football might have made him a legend in his own time. He could’ve been a great running back today if he had never left Oklahoma for Southern Miss. We all can see him ran the ball for 300 yards easily in college football. He was a private person who never complain about anything, but he didn’t like playing under Barry Switzer. I’m not surprised how Barry treated his players as a coach. Marcus’ mother called him complaining about her son’s playing time; if he doesn’t play, it’s gonna be a problem. He ended up playing and finished with 950 yards that season. Also, he didn’t know that Ken Fairley was a crook and his mother and grandmother’s words came back to haunt him and warned him about Ken. He signed with the New Orleans Breakers on a 5-year contract, but injuries were holding him back. Then, Ken was a big time crook and ain’t no telling what he might do. However, he was out of football for 4 years and Walter Payton encouraged him to get back in football shape and play football again. He ended up playing for the Los Angeles Rams for two seasons. His career didn’t exactly panned out like he wanted to. We all wish he had played football for the longevity of his career. Today, he is a licensed truck driver and living a quiet life in Mississippi. That’s a heck of a story of his life. Imagine if he had played in the NFL today; he would be a powerful running back with his size, speed, agility and his athleticism. He would be breaking a lot of career rushing records in yards, scrimmage and touchdowns.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@WillORogers]

@@jasonnelson6624Aikman broke his leg against Miami in a game in October 1985. Aikman transferred to UCLA the next year with help from Switzer’s friendship with Terry Donahue because OU won the natty that year with Janelle Holloway, the first ( and maybe only ) freshman QB to win the NC and Aikman was not going to beat him out because he really wasn’t a great wishbone QB and needed to go to a more pro style offense to give him a shot a the pros. So, this worked out great for all parties.

[@WillORogers]

@@sirjer73you are correct, Miami beat Oklahoma in Oct 1985 27-14 in the game where Troy Aikman broke his leg in the 2nd qtr. However, Oklahoma went on to win the rest of their games that season and won the 85 natty( the third for Switzer ) with a freshman QB because Miami lost 2 games in 85 including the last game of their regular season to Tennessee,35-7. Oklahoma won the NC by beating undefeated Penn St 25-10 in their bowl game.

They all thought they had a shot over Texas,Oklahoma,etc-lol. And since you are 24...half my age...how Switzer downplayed his talent early on-thats just how things were done back then bro. Freshman are to be seen,& not heard...& lucky if they play at all. They rarely dominated back then,& coaches were gods...Barry Switzer was 1 of the best coaches of Alltime,& God of the state of Oklahoma. And he was a smug guy.I grew up in Colorado,& they hung 80 some points on us when I was a kid,& players were eating hot dogs on the sidelines in the 4th.But you just gotta realize it was a different world back then,& coaches had all the power-players none...especially freshman. But don't get it twisted-Switzer won like 3 National Titles,& like 100 Big 8 titles(it was basically Oklahoma &/or Nebraska every year for decades. We actually had ties back then-& therefore occasional LITERAL ties for conference titles where the tiebreaker was moot cuz they tied-lol. The Oklahoma-Nebraeka game on black Friday was almost always the defacto Big 8 title game-which meant going to the Orange Bowl almost every year,& the loser would be 2nd in the Big 8,& play in a another New Years day game-went that meant something..And Switzer,& OU were usually the team winning the conference-as they beat Nebraska a lot more than they lost in that tine period. But regardless Oklahoma both were top 10 teams almost every year. Top 15-20 was a down year for either. This started before Switzer but he was 1 of the 3 or 4 most accomplished college coaches when I was a kid-dont kid yourself...despite the nonsense,& insanity you pointed out in this video. But it was a completely different time in CFB bro. We RARELY got #1 & #2 to face off for the title IN THE BOWL GAMES! At least #1 DIDNT play #2 in the bowl-far more often than they did.Cuz we had automatic conference champion tie ins. Sure there were many more Independents,& if Miami,Florida St,ND,Penn St ect happened to be #1 or #2-then we'd usually get a true title game. UNLESS the Big 10 or Pac 12*champs were involved-cuz they had to face each other in the Rode Bowl. But if the Big 8,SEC,ACC,or Southwest conference champs were involved-they had automatic tie ins. The Big 8 champ HAD to go to the Orange Bowl,SEC champ HAD to go to the Sugar,ACC HAD to go to the Florida Citrus I think it was,& SWC HAD to go to the Cotton.Just think about that-it was not even the same sport as today.

Barry Switzer was the King of Norman . He would recruit with National championship rings , a Cigar and a Fur coat . . All the great players at OU that played on National championship teams must of bought into the Switzer persona . Troy Aikman got his start at OU . Got hurt and OU won a National championship with a freshman named Jamelle Holloway. That is how Aikman ended up at UCLA . The wishbone offense that Switzer had was not a good fit for a QB that wanted to play on Sundays . Besides how could he bench a QB that just won a National championship for him ? Apparently Barry was very helpful to Troy getting him in touch with coach Donahue at UCLA . The rest is history

I was in the service and was in the same unit at Ft Lewis WA as a guy from gulf port Mississippi, he was an acquaintance of Marcus Dupree. He used to say “you wait until you see Marcus Dupree, he is the best football player I have ever seen. He also played against him in high school and said it was scary when he was coming at you full speed and you were the only one between Marcus and the goal line” Turns out he was right 😂

I was fortunate to watch him play for the Portland Breakers, only bright spot for that team!
