I said all week that Homecoming was going to be great. Some people knew why, some didn't. Here's why:

Back in May, I made up a fake Facebook account for a girl. The girl's name was Kelsey Goss. I used a friend of mine's pictures and made up a complete profile. I had a complete back story for her and everything. She was graduating from Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke and was planning on going to Presby in the fall.

At the beginning of June, one of their players, Larry Thomas, started talking to her. That was the goal of the whole thing. We talked on a regular basis all the way up until yesterday. He thought she was coming to the game, put her on will-call, and everything. Little did he know, it was me behind the computer pulling a prank.

Some may remember this from last year when I punk'd Shelton Gaffney of Western Carolina. I only had four days to pull that off. I had five months to pull this off and did it up right. We had four banners hanging over the railing today at the game, along with a 14-ft banner that we held up during pregame. The great thing is, we taped everything. Right now I've only got two videos online, and those were from us doing prep work. I've got a crap load of footage from today that I plan on getting edited, hopefully by Monday night. For now though, these two videos will have to do.

Part 1

Part 2

I also wanted to point out that Larry Thomas was a GREAT sport about this. We called him at the end of the game telling him that we were just having fun, that it was just a prank, etc. He texted back saying "Thanks for what ya done. Appreciate the banner...y'all wild." That right there made me gain a ton of respect for the kid. I can now say I'm a Larry Thomas fan.

I hope you guys enjoy the videos, I'll get the rest on here as soon as possible. I'll also post pictures of it in this thread whenever I get them.

whoever the girl was that volunteered to let you use her pictures must be a good sport


The prank was great....loved the vids too

[SuperJon]

She was there today. We tried to get Larry to turn around to see her but oh well. She was great with it.

[jmdickens]

I came over and said hey.....i didn't see you there at the time

[SuperJon]

I saw where you were, just didn't get a chance to say hey.

Was the guy on the right standing on the bench trying to get you to take them down?
What was Thomas initial reaction?
It looked like the other players were messing with him.

[SuperJon]

Nobody even mentioned anything to us about taking the stuff down.

Thomas seemed embarrassed at first but ended up laughing it off at the end. The other players were laughing and even some coaches were laughing.

Their asst coach was filming our signs before the game

[Fumblerooskies]

It was a great atmosphere watching everything from THEIR sideline. I was a bit disappointed that Thomas didn't react much...but from what Supe says...he was pretty classy about the whole thing. A good time...a VERY good time.

[Schfourteenteen]

Hey fumble way to be pretty much amazing with the filming. Thanks a bunch I dont think anyone expected you to have that done already

[SuperJon]

Just got a message back from Grayson Mullins. Those guys know what college sports are about and know we were just having fun. I like their players. They seem like pretty decent kids.

Thanks. Nothing like having a great computer in my office to get it done quick. I sure hope it helps out with the finished product. You guys were amazing pulling the prank off.

I haven't seen anything this funny on the internets since Barney's soldia Boy. Good stuff

[SuperJon]

Just went public:

I've created an entire page for We Are Kelsey Goss on the Life of a LUnatic site.


We Are Kelsey Goss

[Knucklehead]

Did Thomas actually leave a ticket for Kelsey?

[SuperJon]

We never found out for sure. He said he did.

SJ and all, this was an awesome prank! I was wondering what the signs meant when I saw them at the game Saturday, now it all makes sense . You guys are good--definitely making me miss my college days!!
