He [Dartmouth coach Bob Gaudet] may go a different avenue and split them. Traditionally against us, he’s stacked that line, but at times against other teams, he?...
Despite the disconcerting plot and ambiguous dialogue, the production is carried by the sheer talent of the actors.

For sheer improvisational ingenuity, Hahn makes MacGyver look like Jessica Simpson. When public-health officials finally caught on to what Hahn was up to, the potting shed was so hot it had to be classified as a Superfund site...
