How Old Is Old?

Unread post by app87 » Wed Sep 24, 2014 3:10 pm

I posed this question a few years ago but was curious now since we have some younger YC members that have come aboard; How old is old? I've been following, with amusement I might add, one of the topics that drifted off to being old coots. I attended App during Mack Brown's one and only year and Sparky's reign. Is that old?

Is he? That's funny because I've never seen him post about his age.

I'm 29, for the 18th time. That's not old, is it?

If you can still walk up the hill to the stadium and up the steps to your seat, you're not too old.

Well Gonzo,

He and I are friends, and he knows we I was ribbing him a bit, it's difficult to convey that to all. I would expect him to throw similar back any time.

The late Erk Russell said there were three stages of senility:

1) You can't put a name to a face
2) You forget to zip up your zipper after you pee
3) You forget to unzip your zipper before you pee :lol:

I occasionally find myself at #1 but I'm a youthful 47

That was a very tough time watching that baseball player err... erra... Matt Szczur....scorch us for 4 or 5 TDs...hell, I think he just scored again...We didn't have a clue. The Committee was in rare form that infamous day. Going into that game, we should have not lost. :oops:

Anyway, I reckon getting over that has helped me have patience with our rebuilding years we are in the midst of.

Old is not so much a matter of age as it is of attitude. It seems that we become less flexible - in both mind and body - as we get older. My back tells me that graduating in 1982 was a long time ago. My body loves to remind me that I'm not as young as I once was when I stay up all night at a church youth group lock-in. My mind, however, still manages to keep up most of the time.

So how old is old? Somewhere beyond 54.

I'm Class of 97 on the five year plan. I'm not old, but mature is not a pronoun some would use to describe me, either.

To quote Jimmy Buffett, I'm growing older, but not up.
