    I don't know where I was, but I totally missed out on the Yale/Harvard hoax. They got the Harvard faithful to spell out We Suck at the game when they thought they were spelling Go Harvard.

    Did anyone see this? Man this thing was freakin genious. Amazing how they made this happen.

    Sort of like the Cal Tech Washington Huskies hoax back in 61. Funy stuff.

    Story of it and video/pics:

    There probably is another thread out there about his but I don't feel like searching so far back for one. Just posting this to show anyone who may have missed it.

    I think CalTech has done this in the past.

    The ultimate stunt I recall was I think during a Rose Bowl during the mid-80's. Caltech managed to commandeer the scoreboard. I think it was UCLA vs. somebody. The Caltech pranksters took it over and after they were done, the scoreboard read that Caltech was handily defeating MIT. :)

    (Sorry to SamCassell for the vagueness of my post! :D)

    this reminds me of the SMU band prank on TCU:

    GRASS ON CAMPUS

    Just when I began to doubt the value of a college education, I run across a small bit of Dallas Morning News that renews my faith in higher education.

    Fort Worth's Texas Christian University (TCU) and Dallas's Southern Methodist University (SMU) have a historical rivalry that reflects - or maybe contributes to - the competition between the two cities. The football fields of friendly strife have been responsible for a good deal of that storied tradition.

    Now once again, the scene is the football field, but the story is not the teams - it's the bands.

    Last November 26th, the two teams battled at Amon Carter Stadium on the TCU campus. The SMU band performed during halftime, and, as is their custom, played one piece while standing in the school's familiar "Diamond M" formation. And apparently, while they played in this formation, each band member also, uh, dropped seed on the field.

    Specifically, they dropped winter rye grass seed, because now that the field's Bermuda grass is completely dormant, the winter rye has sprouted into the unmistakeable green "Diamond M" formation in the middle of TCU's home field.
