    "Great"

    A good episode not as good as the previous episode, but it was still great. I mean every show has those episodes that are good but aren't the best. I defintely loved when Casey told her sisters to pick out their sluttiest outfits and go over to the Kappa Tau house. haha. and Cappie goes we aren't going to deny you but were going to set a drinking limit. haha. sureee. I especially loved when Frannie(i think) said no one is allowed back in the house until they've been completely disinfected. haha. Calvin's father drops by and tells the Omega Chi brothers that Calvin is an all star hockey player. At the end of the episode Calvin tells Rusty he's gay Great Episode.moreless

    Well, I've never been a big fan of 'sports' episodes of shows, so do not judge me too harshly. This episode was humorous, I admit, but the plot wasn't strong enough for me, it couldn't really evolve into anything at all in the future. Except Omega Chi beating Kappa Tau.

    It's the Fraternity Floor Hockey Tournament, and, in the finals are: Kappa Tau and Omega Chi. Rusty, feeling confident after helping the house win beer pong, becomes overly confident. He's definitely not the best in the house at floor hockey. Can the KTs win?
    It is revealed that Casey had sex with Cappie during rush, and Evan and Rebecca will not let her forget about it. Frannie hardly approves of her choice in man. Saying Casey and Evan have hit a rough patch is an understatement.
    Calvin feels insecure when his father visits for the tournament.moreless

    this episode was really good!!! i luvvv the part near the end where rusty scores the goal to tie up the game. i was sooooooo happy for him. but it was funny that he scored for the other team in the other game. remember 78 that was funny when that one guy held up the sign for rusty to remember. then i finally found out that calvin was gay well i kind of guessed by his actions. but that was funny when casey came over to cappie dorm with all the girls and they got all the guys drunk. but they still maneged to make it on time to the game. over this was a good episode.moreless

    This is the first episode that I have watched of this show. When I saw the commercials I felt like this was just going to end up being another stupid ABC Family show that was not worth the time. With nothing else on I really enjoyed watching this episode and went and downloaded the others off of Itunes and have enjoyed them as well. In this episode Rusty shows his complete inability to play sports. It was fun to watch him try though. I enjoy his interaction with Dale, his room mate, they obviously have much different views of college but can come together when it comes to physics. I enjoyed Cappie whenever he is on the screen, he seems like a party animal but at the same time is able to show a softer side and seems to be genuine when it comes to Rusty. The scene with Cappie on the bench mixing drinks was priceless. The story line between Rebecca and Casey continued forward with Rebecca fighting back and squealing about Cappie to the president of the sorority. I am tiring of the storyline between Casey and Rebecca, it seems like that there is no chance of it ending anytime soon. I also don't think that Rebecca was established well enough in the early episodes so at times her actions seem utterly ridiculous. Finally I enjoyed the final scene with Calvin and Rusty. It was awkward just like it should have been but it shows that Rusty is a good person. I can't wait for more episodes.moreless

    A fun-filled episode with some emotional moments too.

    The fun mostly focused on Rusty's attempts at playing hockey, failing miserably but, due to his sister's machinations, ultimately succeeding in playing only to be deprived victory by a technicality.

    Cappie is such a well-written character, he's got his bad points but, all in all, he's a great guy. Last week showed Evan wasn't that bad either, but in this episode he's back to his old self.

    I loved that Casey, in the end cheered Rusty on, even though her sorority wanted the other team to win.

    I'm glad Calvin came out to Rusty, it provides him with a friend with whom he can be true and honest and it shows Rusty that he is trusted. The emotional scenes between Calvin and his dad were great. well-written and well acted too.moreless

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The scene in which Casey and Cappie are in the closet at the party is very similar to a scene in the movie Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. In the movie, Han Solo and Princess Leia are repairing the Millennium Falcon and wind up kissing. In this episode, instead of kissing Casey, Cappie falls out of the closet, drunk. Edit
    • Cappie's saying "it's not what your fraternity can do for you; but what you can't do for your fraternity" erroneously echoes John F. Kennedy's inaugural adddress, which includes the line: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country". Edit
    • Cappie: Beware of Greeks wearing hot outfits. A reference to the phrase, 'Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.' Edit
