& now I got to get a copy of Willie Morris's book on the Dupree recruitment.
Seems like Dupree is fine w/ his life & did what he needed to do to end his career when he played for the Rams
but, I think college recruiting is disgusting (& I get this from my dad), the education that you will get for free is inducement enough to choose a college, but the irony of this Cam Newton soap opera occurring @ the same time as the airing of the Dupree story is just so ironic.
I love, love, love college football, but this recruiting **** is out of hand today, & I can't believe how out of hand it was back then.........but you know what, I want to win too.
It just makes me wonder how many lives are ruined by these shenanigans.
& I know I am being a bit of the holier than now crowd thinking the education a athlete can get is worth more than any thing else, but it just makes me wonder what would have happened if Dupree had been allowed to make his own decision.
I think Walter Payton was the best there ever was, but now I wonder after watching that documentary.
Lastly, I have always been a Barry Switzer fan from a distance, but after watching that documentary, his stock dropped in my book......alot. Best athlete on your team & he doesn't want to play him b/c he was a freshman, but then you gotta wonder if he was riding him to try to make sure he was the best ever. who knows. All I can say is DAMN Switzer has a nice ring collection.
