(found on ESPN from the AP Wire):

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.

I love stupid stuff like this.
