Frederick Palowaski "Ogre"
We know there were no actual football scenes in the Revenge of the Nerds movies, but the clear rivals in this film was the Adams College Football team VS the incoming geeks of the institution. The heroes may have been the geeks, but you couldn’t help but want to party with (regardless of whether you were cool or not) with Ogre, the monosyllabic linebacker who hated nerds (though he wasn’t sure why) and drank a lot of beer. Perhaps that is why at the end of the sequel Ogre, became joined Lambda Lambda Lambda and became one of the “good guys”, and also no matter what other gruff role Donald Gibb had, he would always be “Ogre” to most of us.
