My alma mater played one of those...played it at the school I was working so happens. I didn't play, but watched from the sideline. Funny stuff. Kid that never played HS ball, but went on to be an All-American in college track was impressive.....couldn't catch a ball though, but when he did nobody could catch him, lol.

A long time ago my old high school had an exes game. Played in it a couple of years after graduation. Then I think someone finally figured out the legal ramifications and it was quickly discontinued.

I hate to say it but I have done one of these. I was 22 years old though as were most of the people I played with. It was fun but when the next year rolled around I decided against it as the next day I couldnt move and for a one time thing it was great but after that youre just fooling yourself.

I just randomly thought of this movie... This is one of the greatest movies of all-time! "I'm pretty fast for a Caucasian, Dr. Death." |

That same scrawny kid went and got his doctorate degree after his All-American track career. Yeah, he really blossomed out of high school. Unreal! |

OMG NO!!!! Those days are over lol. I find it sad when people try to go back and play "Semi Pro" or backyard ball when they're not athletes, but grown ups, these days.

I'm thinking early 20's wouldn't be as much of a problem as say, early 30's and balding. and bursting at the seams.... it wasnt too bad but I was definitely not conditioned to a football season like I used to be. Moving sideways was out and my neck might has well been immobilized. Today in the 30s I would last a few plays before my hammys my hip and my shoulder decided it was time to hurt. Probably all at the same time. I do remember our RB breaking it and I'm running down the field blocking when, all of the sudden, I ran out of air and cramped. I slowed down and 20 yards later the same thing happened to him. Father time had taken his toll. |

Yeah, he really blossomed out of high school. Unreal! His senior year he was on the basketball team with the Hook. Never got to play, then that spring he exploded and was on the mile relay team that won state. Speaking of the Hook...he's still letting that mane grow. I saw a pic of Hook....wow! On the mile relay, but still wasn't the fastest leg. Two 300 hurdlers on that team that went to state, he didn't even hurdle. Went to college and became a National Champ in the 400s. |

Went to college and became a National Champ in the 400s. The hurdlers would've finished 1st and 2nd but got tripped up towards the end. Fast group of guys. It's crazy how the lanky one blew up after turning 19 and 20. He's a big CrossFit guy now, doesn't look anything like he did. Hurdlers would have gone 2-3....kid from Nueces Canyon was way out front. |
