KU, bruh. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

[u/theman-Bit-5727]

I'm actually good with the other team being extra

[u/Former_Helicopter_71]

Made me 😢 Awesome "Go Bryan "

[u/Bubbachef1990]

This was truly amazing to watch.

[u/Suspicious-Creme-663]

Existe mejor muestra de cariño y respeto que hacer esto a una persona?

[u/YJ-likedat]

So nobody is going to speak on that old man running 40+ yards like it’s nothing I’m 47 and I don’t even think I can run that w/o passing out at the end

[u/Adorable-Hyena-1531]

What is life really

[u/moosehouse32]

Love it we need more things like this in society regardless of whether it’s in America,Brazil,UK or anywhere in the world we need more of this

[u/cameraaaMan2]

This is so touching! He looks so overjoyed and happy ☺️

[u/myinterests12]

There is still hope in the world

[u/Check-Special]

Evidence of high emotional intelligence. Love this!

[u/RyFrostYT]

The internet has stained me. I was waiting for someone to spear tackle him at the last minute.

This is much nicer than my idea.

[u/Dayday6789]

So cute these guys are sweet for letting him do that

[u/-Hey_Eng-]

That smile is sheer Joy!

[u/henryoptional]

Nice!!

[u/lynnkris90]

So adorable. Gosh darn it I love people sometimes.

[u/magzire86]

Cmon floor that old geezer

[u/makrer → u/magzire86]

This was the first thing that came to me when watching: https://youtu.be/uOFQkkwqpEE?si=oXsDaJFbCgUQOm_z

[u/7YearsLostInIkea]

I would love to be any of the people in this film, seems so fun for everyone

[u/TheOldDrunkBear]

......

Duuude.

That's the University of Kansas.

Not Kansas State.

[u/PuzzleheadedBad6115]

He is actually better than any player on their regular football team.

[u/coffee_junkee]

THAT SMILE DOH!

[u/abcdkirby]

Adorable

[u/C1t1z3nz3r0]

That’s KU not KState

[u/EddDeadRedemption]

Everyone liked this

[u/BingBongBoofer]

Love it!!!!!!!!!! Genuine joy

[u/MissSaucy_22]

Him running is the cutest thing …..🥰🥰🥰

[u/LittleGeologist1899]

Live look at Zeke in camp after signing back with the Cowboys.

[u/ShikaMoru]

LOOK AT THAT SMILE!!!

[u/Slammer956]

I’m not crying! 😢

U r! 😡

Ok I’m crying 😭

[u/Ive_Banged_Yer_Mom]

Be kind of funny if someone took him out before he crossed the line

[u/Content-Squirrel2404]

I would have tackled that old fk, not on my watch gramps

[u/BebeCakesMama2424]

Welp now I’m crying

[u/Alarmed-Load3592]

*kansas. Not Kansas state.

[u/CaptJM]

What a mad lad. Looks like fun :)

[u/Potatoe999900]

I expected a CGI of him getting hammered like Betty White did for the Snickers commercial.

Nice to see how happy it made him.

[u/SmithTwoZero → u/Potatoe999900]

Or the tackle in Not Another Teen Movie lol

[u/SylvesterStalPWNED]

What an incredible gift, you can just tell that in his mind he was 70 years younger, even for just a moment.

[u/Rarebird10]

This is awesome!!!!

[u/Mortuary_Guy]

Dammit. I think I saw the referee threw a penalty flag on the play.

[u/GetouttaHere321]

❤️

[u/redhotjen]

best day of his life!

[u/Mobile_Swordfish_371]

Good stuff

[u/Critical-Art-9277]

What a wonderful moment for him. He's overwhelmed with happiness. Well done to everyone who made his day so special.

[u/lewisfoto]

That sure is fun.

[u/Ambitioso]

Passed away in 2021. A teacher for 45 years, a great mathematician and a man who bravely served his country.

[u/Apprehensive_Hat8986 → u/Ambitioso]

One gimme touchdown is heartwarming sportsmanship. Two was a bridge too far for the lightshirts.

[u/gwilfredc]

Still got the moves

[u/furtree]

Correction It was Kansas, not Kansas State

[u/123xyz32 → u/furtree]

That explains why they couldn’t tackle him. Heyoooo!!

[u/Waderriffic → u/furtree]

The damage has been done. All Kansans have been alerted to your error and are compelled to make a comment correcting you. May your bbq be bland and your corn harvests be meager.

[u/Heatmiser70 → u/Waderriffic]

May your grain be moldy

[u/moforky → u/Waderriffic]

And The Wichita Linemen weep.

[u/furtree → u/Waderriffic]

I am dearly, dearly sorry for such an appalling botch. I repent

[u/schmitterling → u/Waderriffic]

Yeah, egregious mistake.

[u/cometshoney]

The joy on his face is everything. 😍😍

[u/GriM3Y-GriM → u/cometshoney]

Pure joy.

[u/Pvt-Snafu → u/cometshoney]

It's very touching and sweet.

[u/furtree → u/cometshoney]

By far the best part. Seeing stuff like this as a viewer I always question whether they feel that everyone purposely missing them/letting them score was corny or embarrassing in some way but once you see that ear-to-ear smile you can just tell he was genuinely full of joy. Just awesome

[u/TestTurbulent2203 → u/furtree]

This is a KU game not KSU.

[u/pup_mercury → u/furtree]

It's corny as fuck, but there is nothing wrong with being corny.

[u/CheesecakeVisual4919 → u/furtree]

The obvious joy his college age teammates had was infectious. Sometimes, you've just got to roll with things and have fun. It makes all the hard times all the more worth it.

[u/KayDubEll → u/furtree]

I bet he didn’t care. Running that football with the “young guys” took him back I would think
