Great piece, vhoward.
The reason I still play GD (other than the great folks in Wilkinson) is this: I will win in GD 3.0 running 100% (or close to it) out of the Wishbone only. Why? Because, damn it! I agree that it may never be done again. However, just like Nebraska / Oklahoma in the 80s, there needs to be a renaissance of the run game. I grew up watching Army and Yale run the Wishbone (and blocking for it as well). My goal is obviously to win a National Championship, but in the process, if I can have fun, keep my dream alive and hang out with great people like vhoward, CJ, etc., in Wilkinson, then every Dollar I give to the evil Fox Corp is worth it.
Just my two cents.
