73 Year Old Bag Of Bones Scores 2 Points in College Basketball Game

 

HARRIMAN, Tenn. - Ken Mink, a 73-year-old full-time student, scored two points Monday night in Roane State Community College’s 93-42 victory over King College’s junior varsity.  Mink entered the game with about 16 minutes left in the second half and attempted one shot in about three minutes. Seven minutes later, he went back in the game, was fouled and made two free throws. “I found myself on the free-throw line 52 years after my last college game,” Mink said. “I said, ’Just relax and shoot it like you know how to all day long.’ I just floated the shots in there. I’m in the books now. I can relax a little bit.”  Mink, of Knoxville, last played college basketball 52 years ago at Lees College in Jackson, Ky. After someone soaped the basketball coach’s office, he lost his spot on the team and was expelled. Mink still says he didn’t do it.

You know you’re old as shit when you get expelled from school for soaping the coaches basketball office.   I bet Jerry doesn’t even know what that means.   Anyway is anybody remotely surprised that King College lost this game by 50.   I mean you can’t win when you’re putting a 73 year old dude on the charity stripe.    You got to make the other team earn it from the floor.    It’s basketball 101.

PS – I love the guy who does the blow by in the first couple seconds of that video. He don't give a shit that this guy is 73.
