A group of Yale students pranking Harvard by posing as a Harvard Prep Squad and handing out over 1,800 placards to students. The cards were supposed to say “Go Harvard!” but instead said ”We suck.” (2004).
Years back, I took a tour of M.I.T. for the lolz. On the tour, they went into several detailed stories on some of the pranks that have happened on the campus over the years. One of my favorites and most memorable pranks was somebody would sneak over to the Harvard football field everyday around lunch time, throw a handful of bird seed, blow a whistle, and throw a flag into the air. They did this everyday until the start of Harvard’s football season. On the day of the first home game for Harvard, the ref threw the first penalty flag, the field was then flooded with hundreds of pigeons. I was told it took quite a while to clear them off only for them to return during the next flag.

That is legitimately a prank and is also funny. DAE remember when pranks didn’t involve acting obnoxiously for internet clout?

I don’t know why Harvard even bothers to show up. They barely even won.

I want to know how long it took for all of them to get the message. I imagine a lot of them didn’t find out until days later

I figured Harvard people would be quick enough to call an audible and do a shuffle change for it to say, “We Fuck”
Now that is a prank
That’s fucking awesome.
