Horse In 29 Years...

I'm sure at 59 years of age, Horse still would be able to rake at Division III Behrend, a Penn State satellite campus. Or at least he will think he can.


Now, Mike Flynt is giving Horse hope that he will actually be able to try.


A 59-year old grandfather, Mike Flynt's biggest regret in life was getting kicked off his college football team. Flynt is going to get the chance to finish out his career after making the team at his alma mater, Sul Ross State in west Texas, this season.


While records for age are not kept by the NCAA, it is believed that Flynt will be the oldest player in the history of college football when he suits up on September 1. He played linebacker during his first three years at Sul Ross but there is no word on what his position will be when he returns to the field.


If he does play linebacker at Sul Ross, he'll have his hands full in their opening game leading his defense against 34-year old freshman Paul Blake and the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos.
