You Know You Used to Be a Wishbone Team When...

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

Been poking through the record books lately, and after a brief discussion with a friend, came up with the idea for a fun game:

"You Know You Used to Be a Wishbone Team When..."

I'll start.

You know you used to be a Wishbone Team when Landry Jones is already 13th all-time in career passing yards.

You know you used to be a Wishbone Team when 4-year letterman Chris Brown is still behind two quarterbacks in career rushing touchdowns.

got rid of my lame post in this allsome thread.:O

[GottaHavePride]

BOOOOO! That has nothing o do with former wishbone glory!


You know you used to be a wishbone team when you only completed 5 passes on the road and still won 82-42.


OR...

when you complete zero passes at home and still win 49-0.

(Sucks to be Colorado... :D )

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

when you've had 96 rushing attempts in a game

[SunnySooner]

when your jukin and jivin backup beats out TROY FRICKIN AIKMAN for the starting qb spot.

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

You know you used to be a wishbone team when your all-time winningest quarterback completes fewer passes in 4 years than your current starter does in 4 games.

[Spanish Sooner]

You know you used to be a wishbone team, when your record for most rushing yards in a game is over 700 yards.

[DarrellZero]

... when you have seven national championships and zero starting NFL QB's.

[tommieharris91]

...when the guy that rewrote the passing record book and won an NC for your school never started an NFL game.

[BoulderSooner79]

...when you're Heisman QB throws 50 TD passes and the team rewrites modern NCAA record book and you're old timer fans are calling for the wild-cat formation.

[westcoast_sooner]

...when you had more fumbles in one game than you had interceptions the entire season.

Head Bands! Bandanas! Silver Shoes! Oh My!

[Leroy Lizard]

When your all-World tight end only averages two catches per game.

[sendbaht]

3rd and 25 ( due to what ever) and it is a running play.:)

[Leroy Lizard]

When you hold the score down by passing the ball.

[AlbqSooner]

When your starting backfield doesn't wear its pads out of the locker room after half time.

[King Barry's Back]

When the record holder for most TDs in a game, also holds the record for most interceptions in a game.

[Sooner04]

When your entire backfield (starters and backups) averages more than five yards per carry (1971).

When your backup halfbacks get more playing time in the NFL than they did at your school (Mike Thomas).

When your average fumbles per game was even with your number of pass completions per game (pick a year).

[stoops the eternal pimp]

When your QB(Charles Thompson) is considered the 6th best runningback available for the NFL draft.

[stoopified]

When you AVERAGE 472 yards a game rushing for an entire season(1971).

[RedstickSooner]

When your all-World tight end only averages two catches per game.

This.

[stoopified]

When the record holder for most TDs in a game, also holds the record for most interceptions in a game.I did not know Q played in the Wishbone era or played D. :)

[the_ouskull]

When your all-World tight end only averages two catches per game.

I thought, according to Bosworth, it was, "He'd catch three passes a game, two of them for touchdowns, and then spend the rest of the time b*tching about not being able to win the Heisman."

I'm assuming you're talking about Keith Jackson, and not Gresham...

[swardboy]

...when opposing players' jock straps littered the astroturf trying to catch #24.

[Sooner04]

You know you used to be a wishbone team when you cost your superstar, silver shoe-wearing halfback not one, but two Heisman trophies because you were so good there was no need for him to ever play a full game.

[MyT Oklahoma]

When you AVERAGE 472 yards a game rushing for an entire season(1971).

^^ This. Those were the days.

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

You know you used to be a Wishbone Team when half of your All-American wide receiver's yards for the season come on one play (Billy Brooks vs. Texas, 1975).

[sooners2win]

when you do all you passing in pre game warm ups !!!

[texashater#1]

When hello and goodbye are two very frightening words for opponents.

[SOONER44EVER]

Your QB goes 0 for 1 passing and you still win by 40.
