That has to be the best prank ever on that scale for a College Sports event!

Victoria, not Victorious
At last Saturday's Cal men's hoops season finale versus USC, Bears boosters pulled a prank that straddles the fuzzy gray line between "Crap-Yer-Pants Hilarious" and "Inexcusably Cruel."
When USC guard Gabe Pruitt took his first trip to the free throw line early in the game, the Cal student section hollered in unison: "VIC-TOR-IA, VIC-TOR-IA," and then yelled out a telephone number. Pruitt glanced back at the crowd in horror and bewilderment before clanking his free throws.
It turns out that a couple of mischeivous little bas s from the Cal student section had been IM'ing with Pruitt all week under the iden y of "Victoria," a fictional UCLA hottie, and Pruitt was eagerly anticipating a date with this nubile co-ed back in Westwood after the game. In preparation for the date, Pruitt had handed over his digits, which the Cal student section recited back to him in unison.
Pruitt, a 79% free throw shooter this season, missed both shots after the "VIC-TOR-IA" chants began, and hit only three out of 13 shots the whole game. Cal beat USC by 11 for the season sweep, in part due to the Cal fans' devious psy-ops.
Other perspectives on this prank are here and here.

Nope.
Yale students passing out the cards to read 'We Suck' to the Harvard fans beats this.
Just think what could be done to aggies.
Wait, no need. They do it to themselves. And that's not a joke. They just get the 'sympathy vote' for not realizing they are as stupid as they are.

I have a friend of mine in the Army that is enrolled in graduate school classes at Texas A&M University at Qatar. Even stranger is that he finished his undergraduate work at Georgetown's Qatar branch.
Back on subject, that was one of the better pranks I've heard of lately. Especially liked Cal's use of UCLA against USC.

ut has one of the leading research faculties in the country
I wasn't posting in comparison to t.u. I was just trying to prove to word that A&M is a great school, and that one would be re ed to disown a child if they decided to go there.
Oh lord...this is why people with any sense despise aTm.A&M Facts

It's not that it's not a good school. It's that you think you're more than you are. I wouldn't want my son to be part of that idiot aggie culture.
It's a cult. A confederacy of dunces.
BTW, 2006 US News and World Report, ranked aTm tied for 60 in the best universities.
University of Texas, tied for 52. ( Texas has fallen since they have to take the top 10% of Texas high school graduating classes. They were 20th in the NATION in the mid 90's of ALL universities, public and private, before that. A great school, destroyed by the Texas legislature. )
Proving once again, the aggies are idiots. NOT because they don't have a good school. But over and over, they believe they are more than they are.

Of course MIT already did the same 20 years earlier, proving it owns both.

Sure, but the fact that Harvard has been owned repeatedly with stuff like this makes it all the sweeter.

typical aggie response
Nah, it's a typical response to your drivel.
You're gonna have to come in on saturday.
Nah, I'll get the oil change another day.
How many aggies does that take ?
I wouldn't know. How many bad dates do you have to whine about on the internets?
How many internets are there ?
please tell me you're not googling right now....
Okay, that was pretty funny.
