Gosh Dang, Mike

“I told him he’s an idiot,” said Jerry Larned, who coached Flynt at Sul Ross in 1969 and counseled him at the start of his comeback. “I said, ‘Gosh, dang, Mike, you’re not 20 years old any more. You’re liable to cripple yourself.’ He understands all of that. But he has a burning desire to play. … He is in great physical condition. He still runs a 5-flat 40 and bench presses I-don’t-know-what. He’s a specimen for 59 years old.”
