That is pretty cool

[shockar25]

Very cool. Gives some hope to us as we get older (no, not that old yet or even close, but....)

I remember there were a few years we could have used him.

He scored in his first game.

When I saw this thread had a new post in it, I was sure the headline was going to read "73 year old college basketball player dies on court."

[macshocker2004]

I was going to go with a broken hip or ankle or something of the sort.

Or "73 year-old cager clears lane with cane, ejected from game".

Maybe some of you wish you were in as good shape as he is. I know I do. He could run circles around me.

Just FYI, I recently participated in a marathon.....it was the "24" marathon....needless to say, Jack saved the world and I drank my weight in beer.

Congrats -- You sound as if you can hold your own. Unfortunately, I more than likely won't be around to see how you are doing at 73 years of age.

No doubt. But you have to admit that the situation is a magnet for some humor and parody.

That we're even making some fun of it says a lot for what the guy has been able to do.

And I agree totally. I haven't read anything so far that I would consider outside of "fun", so I'm all for it.
