That's right...you heard it. A JR college in Harriman, TN, kicked a 73 year old man off of the basketball team because he was academically ineligible...really? One might question how a 73 year old is even playing basketball for a junior college. We'll get back to that. My favorite part of this story is why he was kicked off the team: because he failed Spanish! Ha! It's hard for me to make fun of this guy, but really, if you are going to go through the effort to make the team, don't you think it would make sense to pass your classes so you can play? What is even more surprising is that this guy actually played in a game and scored. No offense to 73 year olds, but if I get crossed over by a guy 46 years my elder, I think I would flunk Spanish so that I could get kicked off of my team. Gotta love the story though...

Roane State Community College...You know, a month before I came to Elon they tried to recruit me to play baseball there.
Believe it or not, I was really close friends with the Roane State Basketball Coach's son all through high school. We even went to a few games.
