"The "Harvard Pep Squad" ran up and down the aisles of Harvard Stadium at The Game Nov. 20. They had megaphones in hand and their faces were painted as they encouraged the crowd to hold up the 1,800 red and white pieces of construction paper they had handed out. It would read "Go Harvard," they said."

But the 20 "Pep Squad" members were actually Yale students. And when the Harvard students, faculty and alumni held up their pieces of paper -- over and over again -- they spelled out "We Suck" in giant block letters the whole stadium could read."

 1,800 Harvard fans can't be wrong.

"It was almost sad," said [prankster Dylan] Davey. "There were all these grandfather and grandmother types -- and they all had big smiles, saying, 'Oh you're so cute, I'm so glad you're doing this.' I felt bad for about two minutes. Then I got over it."

HarvardSucks.org has a good short video of this Mensa-style punking.

  LoL! I didn't know Harvard students were gullible.
