[edit] Formation Diagram Question
The diagram shown in the current article appears to be more consistent with the T formation than with the wishbone. My understanding is that in a wishbone formation, the halfbacks line up deeper in the backfield behind the fullback, so that the positions of the quarterback, fullback, and halfbacks form an inverted "Y" (i.e., a wishbone shape). However, the diagram shows both halfbacks lined up adjacent to the fullback, as in the T formation. Am I missing something basic about either the wishbone or T formation? Is one a special case of the other? If not, then I think that a different diagram with altered halfback positions would be more appropriate.Crosswalkcs 04:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Switzer
I agree with Coach Switzer "The King" when run correctly the wishbone is tough to get a hold on, I hope someone has the stones to run it again in major football. I just look at the 70's Oklahoma teams and the yards those guys put up winning a couple of national titles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.60.196.220 (talk • contribs) 07:28, 22 January 2007.
