Senior Moment No doubt destined for Hollywood, the story of Mike Flynt's return to play college football for his alma mater after a 36-year absence is one of the feel-good sports books of the year. The Senior: My Amazing Year as a 59-Year-Old College Football Linebacker (Thomas Nelson, $24.99, hardcover) recounts Flynt's 2007 season at Sul Ross State University, a Division III school in Alpine, Texas. Kicked off the Lobos team prior to his senior year for disciplinary reasons, Flynt - a still-fit former strength and conditioning coach and inventor of the PowerbaseTM portable strength training device that utilizes resistance tubing - always regretted not finishing his collegiate playing career. So with one year of eligibility remaining, Flynt decided to take the field as the oldest contributing member in NCAA history of any college football team. Buy from Amazon
