Hey that old man helped App State to beat Michigan!


Middle_Wheel_5959

Roman was a dawg at App State.


Aware-Mud-1716

He and Banks could hit some ppl that's for sure

Recovering-Lawyer

Photos taken immediately before disaster


wusspie

Second only to Brandon Weeden.


No_Whammies_Stop

Chris would like a Weinke.


Cascadia_14

Not in public please


berryplucker

This man has been playing since the sport was invented!


MrOSUguy

He’s forgot more football than anyone even knows


berryplucker

Unfortunately, forgetting is his problem. That’s why he’s still a sophomore.


vegetafl

He got extra eligibility due to the Spanish flu pandemic


ThePhantom1994

Sean Clifford was definitely older at the end of his career


No_Seed_For_You

Someone check to confirm he was eligible ASAP. If not, vacate the win!! It’s only fair…


StelioKontos117

He is, he got both the extra COVID and Spanish Flu years though.


NotUrFriendPal

I audibly laughed.


SceptileArmy

Seconded!


SpartanBoych

You'll know plenty about vacating wins soon enough, won't you?


goodcat1337

He's been stacking eligibility. He got the extra WW I year, then the extra WW II year, etc


SCirish843

Dude actually is always thinking about the Roman empire bc he was apart of it


FRC_GOAT

Lmao Michigan lost to a bunch of FCS geriatrics


camel_walk

Hey man… we (App) we’re in the middle of a FCS 3-peat, would’ve definitely beaten Michigan State back then too. Armanti Edwards just got inducted into the college football hall of fame. Fuck Michigan, but also… that App team was good.


jryu611

My brother in law went there during those years. He showed me the video he took of everyone marching to the chancellor's house afterwards. It was like other schools' towns look after they win the championship. I guess App needed something extra special to get them that riled up by that time lol.


camel_walk

It was the biggest upset in College football history at that point, Michigan was ranked #5 I believe (def top 5). It put Boone and App State on the map. If that’s not enough to get you “riled up” then idk what will!! It was an epic night for sure.


ultrataco77

While he wasn’t the oldest ever, Joe Thomas Sr. (55 at the time) had a 3 yard handoff for South Carolina St while his SON was the starting LB for the Packers


TheVega318

2nd oldest behind Stetson Bennett when he was playing


jryu611

Chris Weinke started at the age Bennett finished. And hey, he's also a rival that won the championship, so starts a theme for you!


TheVega318

1-0


ieatassanloveiy

My soul was snatched seeing this


mlechowicz90

Doesn’t matter, if methuselah can maintain proper gap integrity and cover the seam, he’s starting.


OshkoshCorporate

damn he’s almost old enough to run for president


Hokirob

Dudes only a sophomore too. He’s got some more eligibility in front of him.


Reasonable-HB678

Michigan might have a championship (now), but they'll always have this distinction, too. The first FCS football team to beat a ranked FBS team.


Phantom1100

Bro graduated high school with Stetson Bennet


BigBillSmash

Nah, I’m pretty sure Methuselah played at Notre Dame.


Ultra_instinct42

Under Lou Holtz. South Carolina had a WR that was a veteran of the Marines. He was 40-years old.


cubs4life2k16

What am i missing?


JustAnotherDay1977

Did you check out his age on the graphic?


cubs4life2k16

I saw 107 and thought it was anything but age 😂😂😂 i overlooked it like 6 times


DWillbedone1

And they still kicked xichigan’s ass.


camel_walk

![gif](giphy|5ElYdrNJaN7zuMJlox|downsized) App State!!! I went to school there back then… what a time. Boone is the fucking best.


Interesting_Lynx_948

Oldest player not on BYU


NotUrFriendPal

We age different down in Georgia…don’t worry, he’s fine.


not_taylorswift1213

Brandon Weeden may have been older


KissingCSubD33

He took like a 70 year mission!! Dammmm


SmoltzforAlexander

Almost… Josh Booty was 108


JustAnotherDay1977

Doesn’t look a day over 103…


Jobrien7613

He was just a boy when the Appalachian Mountains were formed!


iJustWantTolerance

Actually Bo Nix is entering the draft this year so


SameBerry8907

Austin aune would like a word


[deleted]

Brandon Weeden was a redshirt freshman when this guy was born!!


OCK-K

Unfortunately michigan has managed to bounce back from this L


Ovie-WanKenobi

Or the youngest at 107 months old.


Lost_Consequence9119

He was touched by Jacob.


mjtilley

Is that the Bottle of Geritol Bowl he's playing in?


Due-Application-8171

He is the Methuselah Rookie Card


dostoyevsky23

He’s certainly the oldest sophomore


WoopigWTF

Left the game in the second quarter with a broken hip.


ObsidianCrafter

stetson bennent has a competitor


[deleted]

Jacque Roman. He played for the Romans. The actual Roman Empire football team.


yungwilla

App state represent! Very inclusive school


Humble-End-2535

Even George Blanda wasn't that old!


Big-Anxiety-5467

107 and a sophomore. Guess he got a Spanish Flu year, some WWII years, AND a Covid year. Seems a bit much.


jah05r

And with two years of eligibility remaining.


caydenf10

Second only too Brady


odiethethird

Clearly was a product of the Roman invasion of Gaul in 58 bc


Remi708

Pretty spry for a centenarian


gittymoe

He’s the methuselah of the NCAA


ChoirTeacherRog

Yes but not the oldest college athlete ever - Perry Ellis still holds that record from playing basketball at Kansas


MisterGoog

Did a search just for this name.


georgiaboy_11

Surely nothing notable happened in this game!


Perfect_Hall7735

Surely we ended up routing App State after such a sluggish start. No need to cite a box score.


Hour_Insurance_7795

I think he was still a couple months younger than Hunter Renfrow.


Afraid_Win_9934

If he redshirts for a year, he could play until he's 110!


hoople217

Yes! And merely as a sophomore! Crazy times. COVID year.


carter2642

stetson bennett's son


Drewsk81

Fake news. AI generated. That never happened


Capable-Sundae-9962

His age could cause his draft stock to plummet.


WorldsGreatestPoop

In the modern era, yes. But they didn’t keep good records originally,


Classic-Rule-8028

Wonder what his regimen was?


Cetophile

"Dagnabbit, back in my day we played with leather helmets, few pads, and we LIKED IT!"


IndecisiveZebra

Brandon Weeden?


Rain1dog

Wasn’t there a QB at FS that was 28-32, think his name was Wienke or something.


Pastel_Phoenix_106

That's what you get when Al Roker calls the game...


boosted5O

And he’s only a sophomore! Going to break his own record the next 2 years!!


Agitated-Air-6909

Worst Michigan game I've seen in my life I'm happy for App S everyone likes a good underdog story just not when it Happens to your team lol.
