We know, deep down the jocks are the antagonist, wanting nerds not to be part of the college They were the ones that burned their own house in a accident, but it their coach (portrayed by John Goodman)
I think, in my eyes, he's the real villain. Even the Dean of the university is scared to say anything to him at all. The jocks throw the nerds out of there. The Dean asks the coach if it was the right thing to do. and the coach, just stares him down.
He threatens the lead jock, making them feel unimportant, and he makes them practice constantly. Even if their jock strap is filled with itching powder, and the lead jock's girlfriend sleeps with the lead nerd.
Jocks are pissed, destroy the nerds house and the lead nerd, Gilbert tries to confront them only to be beaten up by the jocks and John Goodman. This time, The Dean gets his voice and tells the Jocks it would be best if the Jocks stay where they belong, in the gym.
This movie made John Goodman popular back in the mid 80's and every other actor said that he was a great person to work with, even if he had to play a villain.
