Thought this was a pretty cool story. Not a lot of positive stories come out in the sports world very often, so thought it was good to highlight one of them.

Quote:
Moore, a 61 year-old Vietnam veteran, will kick this fall for Faulkner University, a small Christian school in Montgomery, Ala., 43 years after his initial college career was cut short by Vietnam. When he takes the field against Ave Maria on Sept. 10, Moore will be the oldest player ever to take the field for a four-year university.
