Name, year, major, sport, et cetera: Paul Hannen is a senior electrical engineering major from Cloverleaf, Ohio. He played four years of Case football as an offensive lineman.

Best football memory: Anytime we run 215.
Worst football memory: Wooster, freshman year.
Favorite Quote: "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious."
–Vince Lombardi
Athletic Honors: I mean well.
Jeffrey T. Verespej: Well we can move on to a strength of yours then. Academic honors?
Paul Hannen: No, really I do.
JTV: Well, you see I moved on, and you obviously didn't. Let's try again. What makes football stand out from other sports?
PH: Naked Decesare!
JTV: That sure got this moving. I wonder how widespread that sentiment is. Anyway, what is something that most people don't know about you?
PH: I own Tom Zagorski's first-born child.
JTV: My day is getting more exciting by the minute! As an offensive lineman, who is your favorite superhero and why?
PH: The Incredible Hulk because he smashes things like Coach Taylor.
JTV: Smashing things, owning babies, nakedness. Practice must be very exciting. If you could invite any three people to dinner, living or dead, who would they be and why?
PH: Brandon Jeffries and Ryan Breon because if they found out I was eating without them they would be pissed. Also, Macho Man Randy Savage because he does amazing commentary (watch Wrestlemania IX).
JTV: Ooooh yeah. Hogan with the leg drop to win the belt. Would you want Macho Man Randy Savage to play you in a movie? If not, then whom?
PH: Charlton Heston. He's pretty cut; it looks like he has been lifting 20 commandments.
JTV: Please tell me you don't pay your writers. That was awful. If you could be one place but Case (like you would ever want to leave), where would you go?
PH: Fantasyland with Alex Harvey.
JTV: At Disney World or in your own special world? Don't answer that, I don't want to know. What's your least favorite thing about football?
PH: Full pads.
JTV: Yeah, how can Decesare be naked then? What goes through your mind during a game?
PH: God my a-- looks good in these pants.
JTV: Well at least somebody thinks so. What would we find in your locker that might surprise us?
PH: A dog show trophy.
JTV: So if you could be a girl for a day, what would you do?
PH: Giggidy.
JTV: Between that and your pants comment before, I am very uncomfortable right now. Do you have anything else you'd like to say?
PH: Justin Hodges is sweet.
JTV: I'll let the shout out fly. Good season, Paul.
