It's going down tomorrow. Some people on here know about it. If not PM me and I'll let you know. The signs are almost finished and things are set to go.

I'm going to need pictures of the signs and the reaction of those involved (are you listening FSN?). Don't disappoint me, fellas.

Don't give it away, Sly. I've already asked FSN for pictures. I'm gonna try to get some others but doubt I'll be able to get one of the huge sign (15 people long).

The only tease for those who don't know is this:

You're going to need to explain to everyone unless you are planning something similar for Chuck South.

It was #14. I explained how it went down in the other thread but I'll post it here as well.
Woo boy was it good. The whole football team knew about it. During warmups Brock and BT looked over and laughed at some of the signs. As WCU's team ran on the field, we had 15 people across the front row between the 45's with a KRISTEN HUTCHENS sign. When the players ran past it, they knew what was up. I also had a sign that said, "Gaffney Got Punk'd."

The first play on offense for us we started a Kristen Hutchens chant. Anytime Gaffney or #8 (I forget his name, the one on defense) came over we let them have it.

We encountered a problem. The defensive bench was on the 35. That wasn't a big problem since all 3000 students that were there knew about the prank so the guys down on the 35 were ragging him. I went down there and gave them my "Shelton <3 Kristen" and "Gaffney Got Punk'd" signs and they let him have it. They were leaning over the railing giving him crap. He kept moving his chair farther and farther away from the stands. One of their coaches eventually said something to our guys, I don't know what it was.

I had a sign that said, "I Am Kristen Hutchens" that the players didn't like too much. Sparky took that sign from me and walked around behind their bench a little bit. He also took my sign that said, "You Wear Purple" and walked around quite a few times and even walked to the WCU fans and pointed at them with the sign.

I don't know what, if anything was said on the field. He still led the team in tackles but that's just because he's that good. It was fun times.

The only bad thing is I think I showed too much too early. I have to figure something out for next week. People expect a lot out of me now.
Here's what happened:

Sunday night I made a fake Facebook account as a girl named Kristen Hutchens who lived in Asheville, NC. I added some of the players just looking to get some dirt on them. Shelton Gaffney and a couple other players started hitting on the girl. Gaffney was first so I stuck with him. He invited her to the WCU/ASU game and said maybe they could meet afterwards. He then asked if she had a name on AIM. So what did I do? I made a name on AIM. I talked to him (as Kristen Hutchens) three times during the week. To make a long story short, he thought she was coming to visit on Monday night and that he would get a "reward" if they won today. Needless to say, he didn' know it was some fat kid from LU sitting behind the computer screwing with him all week.

FSN probably got the best picture of it. I'll post the few that I had though.

No, he actually kept his cool. He never acknowledged them, no mouthing off, no flipping the students off or anything. You could tell he was ticked but he didn't do anything wrong with it. He handled it absolutely perfect. Now that's not to say we didn't get the finger a few times today, but not from him.

I thought I got a few pictures of it but I didn't. I only have a picture of me holding the "I Am Kristen Hutchens" sign and Sparky holding it.

The coach asked the guy from Liberty staff to tell Jeff Barber to call him about Monday.

SJ thats reallly funny! Definitely sounds like something my oldest son would do - or has done.

Kudos to the WCU player for not losing his cool.

Don't want to be known as copy cats, but I thought the Wake Forest prank with all the pics of our players was really good.

Ever thought about it?

Are you serious or just joking around? If he gets ticked because of a college prank then something's wrong with him.

SJ.... I'm with you, I'll be in trouble too, because I'm one the people in the pictures you posted. ;)

Yea, I figured that out. As soon as you did the fingers. I was sitting there thinking about it when you did it and I wasn't sure but had a very good idea.

If anything goes down I'll take the entire blame. I did it all myself during the week. It was my idea. I found it funny. Everyone else I know found it funny.

I guarantee you one thing: He's going to hear it from the App fans and players next week. You better believe they already know about it.

I was right there. Had nothing to do with the prank, and he moved the team closer to draw up a defensive scheme, he never ackowledged the prank
