Flynt, 59, suits up for Sul Ross State
ALPINE, Texas (AP) - 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.

So, one of his pals said, why not do something about it?

From reading the story, seems to know what he is getting into---a few years late......

Whatever you say.

I just keep seeing guys in the 40's and higher at work coming in with pulls, sprains, fractures and various other injuries.

From playing softball.

This is football.

This guy is 59.

I think he may be nuts.

Jesus.

I'm glad I didn't take that GA position at Sul Ross now. What a joke.
