U$C, Love the reviews Hank, Revenge of the Nerds was one of those coming of age movies for me in my prepubescent years, as I say to my students "I'm a nerd and I am proud of it."
Stripes? "There is something very very wrong with us!" (for taking this H-n-A) Prediction rings true, and I agree that I too, fear many knee injuries on our D-Line against Army, though the recent up-sizing of their O-line may make it a tougher defensive game than I though before recent articles were published.
UW I hated growing up in Seattle being a Stanford fan during the "Dirty" Don James era, best quote after the game, Siete Steve will say "They found me, I don't know how, but they found me" after a Ben Gardner comes from the stands to tell him there were no faked injuries.
I like the Notre Shame review (though I put us at a 85% win chance), never liked the movie.
Never saw The Pirate Movie, perhaps because my mom walked in on me watching Revenge of the Nerds (during the panty raid scene) all clear on my part, but my mother was not a big fan of gratuitous nudity, she expected nudity in that film after Blue Lagoon.
As to WSU I completely agree with the prediction, and I get the Pirate allusion, and, though it is not an 80's movie I would have gone with the graduate with Stanford as Dustin Hoffman's character (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more) getting the better of the cougar.
ASU, I agree that Groundhog Day felt like an '80's film Coach Graham may be saying "I'm Alive" after the game, but I give it a 75% chance he will not.
OSU, great quote and I could not agree more.
OU, agree 50-50, though of all games on the schedule we know it is not "a trap". As to the reference, after the run from '09-'13 it seemed like the team most likely to go to the NCC was the team that lost, not that I mind that the last 2 years, but it brings to mind the quote "This is a silly game, no one wins." I know if you saw the movie you just read that in a computer (Joshua) voice.
Utah, horrible sequel, though Courtney Thorne Smith was nice to see. Absolutely agree with the movie choice and the percentages.
Cal, Great movie, great quote, cannot agree more with anything here.
UCLA after the way their O-line played yesterday, I see a great deal of sacks in Hundley's future, hence the quote "You beat up my face" may be more apt.
As always Hank, I for one appreciate your work on this and levity you bring to it, but also the intensity you bring to your interviews. To paraphrase my favorite '80's movie "Well that's just great man, why don't you put Hank in charge.
Heroism is not defined by one great act, but by a lifetime of right action.
