A Story About A 61-Year-Old Kicker

((HT: KXII-TV/Sherman, Texas))

Tom Thompson is 61 years old.

He's in college, and his work ethic as a kicker at Austin College is something the "normal-aged" college kids should look at as they go through their paces on the football field.

He's there way early as a full-time student and does his job...

The Kangaroos, which we all know are very prevalent in Texoma, have a big game this weekend and are going to try and put the straight-on kicker in the game for some duties.

CBS12's Maddie Garrett talked to someone at least twice her age...


Those of us at OSG HQ are hoping Thompson gets in the box score and lives to tell about it... Hey, it's something he can already talk to his grandkids about...

He doesn't have to wait like the rest of us...
