Nothing to Do With Baseball
Yale pulled a pretty good prank at The Game this year. I wish HD Net had shown it during their broadcast, but I think all of their cameras were on the Harvard side of the field. Of course, it still doesn't beat the MIT balloon.
And it just goes to show the Yale 2nd class mentality again. :-)

As a Caltech alum, I must disagree with the commenter who declared this Yale prank superior... the "W" in "We" was pretty indistinct. "Suck" is just crass.
It is crass. And in the video they seem to be drinking! It's enough to give one the fantods!
While I love it, I have to agree with our Cantab host that it's not as good as the MIT balloon; I was there, and it was freaky.
What was the MIT balloon?
MIT has been famous for their pranks for years, dating back to the early 20th, I think. I personally think students reconstructing a taxi cab on top of their dome and leaving it to officials to figure out how on earth it got up there and how to get it down tops my list of all-time great pranks. Unless you count the time that guy in my high school class released a mouse during calculus. That was hilarious, man.
I guess in light of the World Series results, academic leadership in America has shifted to New Haven.
