Big Game Pranks

by CountDuku on Nov 17, 2008 1:10 PM PST

While I have yet to engage in any Big game pranks, I do like to read about them. Here are some stretching back into the 19th century. Apparently it used to be pretty common to start lots of bonfires around the streets of Berkeley, I guess they were like watch fires. Both links are similar but each is a little different.

Big Game Pranks 2

I also remember reading a really long and detailed history of the Axe somewhere, I'll try and dig that up and post it in the comments section. Happy reading and Go Bears!

New Prank

Get a Stanford girl pregnant, then disappear.

Too soon?

I was going to say kidnap the treesitters and then tie them to the trees on the ‘Furd campus. Sadly, it’s one year too late.

Any good prank ideas? That Prueitt thing was awesome, even if it was non Big Game related.

Let’s scalp fake Big Game tickets to Stanford people coming out of BART, then run.

Fake ‘Stanford themed’ Shuttle to the stadium!!! Actually takes you to Richmond!

Oh irrational hatred, you taste so good in my mouth... Tangy, like sour candy.

Fake ‘Big Game’ actually 3 hour long treatise on awesomeness of Cal.

Inform 'Furd fans that due to the renovation of Memorial, the game has been relocated to Candlestick Park.

Our opportunity is next year

Anyone have an interest in becoming a grounds crew member at the new Stanfud Stadium? I picture a sprinkling of… bleach? iris and poppy seeds?… in a nice Cal script just a few weeks before Big Game is held there next year. Warning: you will likely be fired but the damage will have been done.

by LovinBlue on Nov 17, 2008 8:03 PM PST reply actions

I really like the idea of ruining their brand new, we-can-build-it-in-one-year-sans-hippies stadium.

by CountDuku on Nov 17, 2008 8:59 PM PST up reply actions

I think you could ruin their stadium in about 12 hours with just a socket set.

Not that I’m advocating anything like that…

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Hey, we could steal their cars! It’s liable to get a big laugh. Plus think of the awesome memories they’ll have.

You guys and your crazzy flame wars. I should really flame somebody someday and get in a big internet fight. Where’d that The Maharg go. I really hate that guy and his views on eating babies.
