You mean like when they were talking about running it with Justin Fuente? I mean, why NOT install the wishbone and run off our best QB after he gave you the biggest win of your tenure? :D
...but John Blake won us our 2000 Championship? Lol.

No doubt. I just don't think that ship sails the same way today that it did years ago.
But I'd run it in super tecmo...

if the field was 20 yards wider, maybe you could run it at the highest level. but, it's nothing unless you can beat LB's to the corner and have pulling off guards knocking those LB's flat on their ass before they get there. people like to say Switzer's teams were undisciplined, but show me a coach who had better team downfield blocking. esp. from WR's and RB's. watch the famous Keith Jackson TE reverse against Nebraska in 86. Spencer Tillman takes the fake counter handoff and is down field blocking for KJ 88 yards later..... as KJ enters the endzone.

i can't find the Jackson reverse against NU.....but watch the block as Jackson scores against PSU in the 86 Orange Bowl at about 50 seconds in. that's just good coaching and technique.

In NCAA 2K7 VY running the option is unstoppable.

Reinstate the wishbone and send us another prototype pocket passing qb that will win superbowls and enter the NFL hall of fame....

If you guys do reinstall the wishbone, does that automatically mean dude will be led off in 'cuffs?

I loved watching the wishbone when I was a kid. Hell, if OU did run it, it would be awesome.
RUN IT!!!!!!
