Well, he did it. 61 year old Tom Thompson got into the last game of the season for Austin College and kicked an extra point. Way to go Tom! Never let your dream die. Tom was a back up kicker in High School and even though old enough to be a grand father … went to practice, did the drills, got the respect of team mates and his coaches. The game for Austin College was a blow out … but they did let him in and let him kick. Sure he made it! I know that is what you were wondering. Despite a messy snap … he made it happen. Tom did it for the thrill and a book he is writing on aging and fitness. Just so you know … there are lots of old guys out here that don’t want our age to slow us down and think about playing another game of football. It could happen.
