Throw back jersey: Lacing up the high tops

An article on FOXSports.com reported that Kevin Mink, 73, is a 6-foot, 190-pound newcomer to the Roane State (Tenn.) junior college basketball team about 35 miles west of Knoxville.

"He's likely the oldest person to ever play college hoops. To put Mink in perspective, Utah State's Gary Wilkinson will be among the oldest Division I players this season; he just turned 26," the article said.

Check out the video of him practicing with the team.



What an awesome mustache.

Mink is unlikely to play for more than five or six minutes a game once Roane State opens its season Nov. 3.

Can't wait for the Disney Channel movie.
