I saw this article and had to include it on here. Too many fights got this guy was kicked of his college football team before his senior year and this regret brings him back 37 years latter. He's a grandfather, he's eight years older than his coach, and he has two kids older than any of his teammates and he expects to play Sept 1st. He was on the first state championship team at Odessa Permian, the high school featured in “Friday Night Lights.” Now he will have more to add to his interesting life story.

Flynt, 59, making comeback with Sul Ross State University
ALPINE, Texas -- Mike Flynt was drinking beer and swapping stories with some old football buddies a few months ago when he brought up the biggest regret of his life: Getting kicked off the college team before his senior year. One of his pals asked why he didn't do something about it? So Flynt started a comeback -- at age 59. Flynt has returned to Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas, 37 years after he left -- and six years before he goes on Medicare. And, he's has made the roster of the Division III Lobos and could be in action as soon as Sept. 1. Flynt enrolled in graduate school so he can take advantage of his final semester of Division III eligibility. Flynt is giving new meaning to being a college senior. After all, he's a grandfather. He's eight years older than his coach and has two kids older than any of his teammates. His youngest child just started at the University of Tennessee. Flynt's position is still being determined, but he used to play linebacker. Wherever he lines up, just getting into a game likely will make him the oldest player in college football history. Neither the NCAA or NAIA keeps such a statistic, but research hasn't turned up anyone older than mid-40s. And with around 200 pounds on a 5-10 frame, about the only visible difference from his playing days is a shaved head. He's in tremendous shape for his age because he's made a living out of working out. A longtime strength and conditioning coach at Nebraska, Oregon and Texas A&M, Flynt has spent the last several years selling the Powerbase training system he invented. He recently taught it to some of the military's special operations forces, keeping up with them in their workouts.
