Wow, that is crazy. First thought is I could never imagine having a kid at that age. Raising children is young people's work.

Thought 1a: Tyler still had game in his 60s and 70s. Pretty awesome.

2nd thought is how cool is it to tell people today you're a grandchild of a man born in the 18th century??? I think it's pretty cool.

My own grandfather was born in 1899, before the Wright brothers flew, and lived to see a man walk on the moon.

.

And I thought THAT was pretty amazing. Tyler was born a full century before my granddad. Wow.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
