College pranks are great, and some of the best have occurred at athletic events.  But my new favorite is this one pulled on Southern Cal’s point guard before and during the USC-Cal game. (Here’s another person’s account of it as well).  Here are the highlights from the article:

Sure, heckling visiting shooting free throws is nothing new, and
First Team All-Pac-10 guard Gabe Pruitt of USC has received his fair
share of taunts. But when the sophomore stepped to the stripe during
last Saturday’s game at Cal he heard something incredibly familiar yet
even more jarring from the Bears’ student section: his own phone number.

As SI.com first reported, it turns out Pruitt had been chatting on AOL
Instant Messenger the week leading up to the game with “Victoria,” who
claimed to be a cute UCLA student.

Pruitt liked the pictures she sent, allegedly telling her, “You look
like you have a very fit body,” and, “Now I want to c u so bad.” Sure
enough, he eventually gave the “girl” his digits and agreed to meet her
when he returned to L.A.

Unfortunately for Pruitt, “Victoria” turned out to be a member of the
Cal RallyCom, who shared the information with the rest of his student
section. So when Pruitt came up to shoot his first free throws of the
night, the student section erupted in chants of “Victoria,” as well as
his phone number.

The guy missed both his free throws and according to some accounts had quite the look on his face.  Can you imagine the utter confusion and embarassment?  The Crazies have pulled a few in their days, but nothing as good as this.
