Probably apropos for this season with the QB situation. We may be going back to the wishbone.
Wishbone? Hell son, know your history.
That there comes from the split back set and the veer days.
When Dye came along bringing the wishbone with him, the Leaping Tiger took its place and the A-Eagle was sent to the scrap pile.
Little tidbit of information for you? Jordan installed the Wishbone in 1969, two years before Bryant did the same thing at Alabama and became synonymous with it -- the bastard. He changed his mind before fall practice when he saw what Sullivan, Beasley and Alvin Bressler could do passing the ball.
You have to wonder what would have happened had Jordan gone through with it. Would Bryant have "copied" his Auburn rivals? Would anybody even know the fucker's name today?
