Mike Flynt was a linebacker for Division III Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas and wore the number 49. Flynt is a strength coach by trade and was a conditioning coach at Nebraska, Oregon and Texas A&M. He is the inventor of the Powerbase Fitness exercise equipment. Clients for the Powerbase system include school systems and the military. Part of his life story includes being the son of a Battle of the Bulge survivor and having dabbled in gold mines and oil wells. ==Early career== In 1965, he was on the first state championship team at Odessa Permian, the high school featured in Friday Night Lights.〔 He was offered a partial scholarship at Arkansas when the Razorbacks were among the top football teams in the United States.〔 However, he attended Ranger Junior College instead. He later attended Sul Ross State in 1969, which was a member of the NAIA. The Sul Ross State Lobos were in the Lone Star Conference with East Texas State, a school that featured future NFL stars Harvey Martin and Dwight White. Another rival at the time was Texas A&I, which was starting a two-year run as national champs. The highlight of Flynt's two years at Sul Ross was participating in a victory against A&I with its only loss in '69.〔 Flynt had been a team captain and the leading tackler as a junior. Starting his senior year in 1971 Flynt was involved in a physical fight. School officials decided that due to his history with fights on campus, he would be expelled. He still earned his degree from Sul Ross State by taking his remaining classes elsewhere.〔 At a reunion of former Sul Ross students from the 1960s and '70s, and while speaking to a former college roommate, Randy Wilson, Flynt mentioned how he had wanted to participate in the '71 season. Wilson suggested he make a comeback.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Flynt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
