re: Older ranters . . . question about Marcus Dupree's recruitment

Watch the 30 for 30 "Pony Excess"...the old SWC wrote the book on buying players and Oklahoma recruits the same player. Barry was known for being very agressive in that dept. Everyone did it and it was a wink, wink amoungst alumni. In fact, with all the money flying around back then, there was somewhat of a competition between programs to get the player at any cost. (for the record I played against and lived 22 miles from Erick Dickerson)

But, don't feel bad the SEC caught on and caught up in the late '80's...See Harvey Williams A&M / LSU.
