The Old Man

Fifty-nine-year-old Mike Flynt is about to become the oldest man to play college football. He's made the roster at Division III Sul Ross State. He says his biggest regret in life is getting kicked of his college football team before his senior year. His goal now is "helping a bunch of young men to make up for those guys that I let down." In case you're wondering who's crazy enough to play college football at 59, well, let's just say he played for Odessa Permian in high school. What does his wife think? "I feel like I'm married to Peter Pan." I don't think that was supposed to be a compliment.

I feel I should know what Odessa Permian high school is, but I don't.
