I plan on going to Spring Break with the college kids this year.
I still have my Speedo from when I was in high school 15 years ago.
If my gut hangs over the Speedo, can I still wear it in public?

you can but that does not mean you should.

Its mostly a question of what is socially acceptable. Though yes you can wear it, and if you are comfortable wearing it, then go for it. Truly, if your friends are going to wear board shorts, it would probably be the most polite thing to do the same. This is mostly out of consideration for others in your group. Note that I am not trying to be the modesty police.
The way I look at it, the people that say "euww, gross, speedos, banana hammock, nut huggers, blah blah blah" are just narrow minded people that should just get a life rather than worry about others swimwear. All they are doing is demonstrating there insecurity and immaturity by making others feel bad about themselves and attempting to force there will upon others.
Go to almost any other country and look at mens swimwear. While researching that, look at mens swimwear from the 50's and back and you will see the brief style suit everywhere. As time progresses, it went from the square cut to what we have today.
Sorry for the rant, it was a long time coming.

You should at least buy a new pair of speedos, or you can get a square cut suit, they have the same fit with a bit more coverage.

You can sport the Speedo underneath boardshorts and a tank top! Go get them at Wal-Mart!

Do whatever you feel comfortable. Who cares what others think. If they don't like how you look, tell them not to look at you.

CAN you yes. SHOULD you, maybe not.
If it's stretched out enough to be see through I would advise against it. Otherwise go for it if you're comfortable.
