But calling them heroes is a bit of a stretch.

And why is that? Football players earn the title of "hero". (at least at ASU they do).

Why should intellectual accomplishments be any less note-worthy than physical ones?

They're both a stretch.

Hero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug

Hero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liviu_Librescu

Hero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_Autrey

MIT dome hackers: not heroes.

ASU football players: not heroes.
