OT- 89 year old Bryan Sperry scores a TD before Kansas' spring game
89 year old Bryan Sperry, a World War II vet and a former member of the Kansas Football team from the 1948 Orange bowl team, got to score a touchdown in Kansas' alumni game. Thought it was a really great gesture in part of the Jayhawks.
Wow he moves incredibly well for 89.
I'd peg him in the 4.4-4.6 range
Remember in 2007 when they were ranked #2......in Football?
And then seeing #8 Kansas beating Nebraska 76-39 and the sport being football was just....
God that was so weird.

It gets weirder every time I look back on it.
double post. Oh well, I could talk about Trey all night.... The team that was up on us by 8 with a minute left in bball and then we came back and trey nailed a 3. good times.
Battle of the Bulge! American hero
Is he still eligible? He would literally be the best athlete on our offense.

Obvious troll is obvious. 0/10.
Well, if nobody else on Kansas' team can score a touchdown...

Really, you can see his eyes just sparkle like his mind has gone back to his playing days right as he's approaching the goal line. This is great.
Couldn't agree with you more... His body might look 89, but in that moment his eyes and smile are that of an eternally young 18yr old.
This guy could start for Kansas.
I feel the power.
Brings a tear to my eye. Love to see him in good health, and having good memories.
I'm 55, and a couple weeks ago, went down to Englewood on the south side of Chicago with my 88 year old dad. We visited the places where he lived and played, his High School, the parks he played in, the church he went to, the market where he had his first job in 38, the place where my grandpa worked in the 30's. It was so wonderful to see the memories and the smiles on my dad's face. Glad to see the same thing for Bryan Sperry.
