So I'm a few New Belgium Mighty Arrows into the Final Four games Saturday night and start thumbing through the guide during a commercial break when I stumbled across three Tom Hanks movies on at the same time.

They bought a national title in the early 90s, then suffered through several ignominious years before hiring Saban.
