"Let's make a (fun) bet, if you guys make it back to the College World Series this year, I will come back to play," future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre told the Southern Miss baseball team on Thursday.
Favre, who was the Golden Eagles gunslingler from 1987-90, has notoriously spent the last three offseasons in the NFL pondering his future, and then ultimately changing his mind.
Now as a Minnesota Viking, Favre has not officially announced his retirement, something he did by this time as both a Green Bay Packer and New York Jet, but he has also not informed head coach Brad Childress on his intentions for next season.
It seems, however, that the fate of Favre and the Vikings will rest on the Southern Miss baseball team, who is currently 30-20 with only two game left before the Conference USA Tournament in Houston. Southern Miss is now in a must-win situation if they want to see the school's all-time leader in passing yards put on the pads one more time.
Favre, 40, threw less than 10 interceptions for the first time in his career as well as a career-high 68.4 completion percentage. The Vikings almost defeated the New Orleans Saints last January to earn a bid to the Super Bowl.
