IDGAF if this isn't SEC related. This kind of stuff is great for all sports fans to see. I hope I'm as mobile at 89 as this guy is.

That is awesome, but I was starting to worry about the guy. They could have made it shorter for him. LOL

Yeah that was my initial reaction as well. I thought it would be a 15-20 run. Not 50

He's holding the football like a loaf of bread, lacks both acceleration and top end speed, and his choice of khaki pants is questionable at best. One positive is that he appears to be a north-south, down hill runner who shows patience for the holes to open up.

Ranked 3rd best senior citizen on Kiper's big board.







Great video though.

Was Charlie Weis on hand taking notes for offensive play calling?

Mizzou on Sportscenter for having a former player get busted with weed, KU on Sportscenter for this incredibly heart-warming story.

Good to see nothing's changed

Best video I have seen in a long time. I found myself wanting to tear up when I saw the look on his face running down the field. I haven't seen a look of pure joy like that from someone older than 7 in a long, long time. That made my day and night.

All I could think about is how much he reminded me of Aemon Targaryen.
