"Johnny Chung was a football superstar playing for Plainfield Teachers College of New Jersey. With his aid, Plainfield was on its way to an undefeated season, and they were getting a lot of press. Nicknamed the "Celestial Comet", Chung had scored more than half the team's points, and averaged 7.9 yards per carry in the first 7 games. It was reported that he ate rice at halftime to keep up his strength. Morris Newburger was a New York stockbroker who wanted small town college football teams to get more press coverage. So one evening he called the sports department at The New York Times and reported that the Plainfield Teachers College defeated Winona 27-3. Then he called the Herald Tribune and reported the same thing. The next morning he was amazed when both papers carried the score, because the Plainfield Teachers College football team was a figment of his imagination and thus the nickname of this team became The Flying Figments. With the help of some of his buddies, Morris made up an entire season for this bogus team, and the papers ate it up. The week after beating Winona, the Figments beat Randolph Tech 35-0, and then stomped Ingersoll 13-0. Somebody who knew about the prank thought it was funny, and told some friends, who told other friends, until finally a Time reporter cracked the case. Just then, Morris sent out a press release saying Plainfield had called off the rest of the season because several players, including the famed Johnny Chung, had failed their midterm exams."

"One year, at the annual Georgia-Georgia Tech football game, the members of the Georgia Tech marching band decided to play a prank. They each brought a handful of grass seeds - the person who told me the story said they were bluegrass, but they must hav been one of the bluer (or perhaps one of the yellower) varieties of bluegrass. Most collegiate marching band shows include a bit where the band spells out the name of the school, or the logo, or something - in this case, it was probably "Tech" or "GT" or something like that. When the band was in this formation, they dropped their grass seeds onto the field. Some time later, UGA had a nice blue (or yellow) "GT" (or "Tech" or something like that) on their football field. The following year, the UGA marching band decided that they'd do the same thing against Georgia Tech. But the problem was, the Georgia Tech football field has artificial turf."

"TCU students, faculty and administrators who gaze upon Amon G. Carter Stadium's usually well-manicured turf can observe the remnants of a prank by the SMU band that took root during the Horned Frogs' 21-0 victory over the Mustangs on Nov. 26. Apparently, SMU's band members dropped winter rye grass seed on the field during their halftime show that has now sprouted into the outline of the trademark "Diamond M" SMU band formation. What SMU couldn't accomplish on the field of play, it could in this ongoing battle between two rival institutions. Well, actually, it's not a battle so much as a one-sided dispute. TCU wins, if not dominates, in football, men's basketball, track, baseball (oops, SMU doesn't have one of those), and the Mustangs drop a couple of seeds on our field. A good-natured "rivalry," don't you think? In recent years, the TCU athletics program has notched an undefeated conference record in men's basketball, two consecutive football bowl victories, a national record in track relay events and, as a final measure, been invited to join the more-prestigious Conference USA. In that same time, SMU racked up more NCAA violations within its football program, lost to the TCU men's basketball program in the midst of the Mustangs' best season in several years and has been invited to drown on the sinking ship that is the Western Athletic Conference. Oh, and they dropped some seeds on our field. Since SMU loses at everything else, it seems natural that its pranks would be lame. But in the future, if SMU students want to do something on our field other than lose, they should consult us first."

There was one at Harvard or Yale where a student put bird feed all over the field and then trained them to come to the sound of a whistle (think Pavlov). Well, in the next football game everytime the ref blew the whistle a swarm of birds would storm the field.
