Trivia: In March of 1999 the University of Toronto won an undisclosed amount of money from Paramount Pictures as the result of a lawsuit for its unauthorized use of the trademarked name "Varsity Blues". U of T's intercollegiate sports teams have been known as the Varsity Blues for over a century and the university has had the name trademarked since the mid-1980s.

Factual error: Right after Lance gets hurt and Mox replaces him Mox's first play is a 40 yard pass for a first down after which everyone starts yelling he needs to stop the clock and the camera shows the clock moving. The problem is that in high school football the clock stops on first downs while they reset the chains so the clock should have stopped running until the first down markers were moved and the ref set the ball.

Question: When the boys leave the landing strip, it is 7:00 am. The game presumably starts at 7:00 pm. Couldn't they have just taken aspirin and drunk plenty of water throughout the day to relieve their hangovers prior to the game?

Answer: Depending on quite how much you drink, it can take several days to fully recover from a hangover. In addition, they have not slept, which is dulling their reaction times, and at least Billy Bob is suffering from intestinal problems because of the hangover.
