Rivalry Week: Best Prank Ever

It's rivalry week! Time for Cougs to make fun of Utes and Utes to come back with witty retorts. It's the only week of the year where Mormons really do hate other Mormons.

The "Holy War" is on! BYU vs. Utah. It's the biggest matchup ever! BYU is 10-1 while the hated Yewts are 11-0 and looking to bust the stupid BCS for the second time in the past five seasons.

BYU has won the past two games on some miraculous plays, thank you. But this year, more has been on the line than in any previous season in a century!
The following is a true story.

To get the week started off on the right foot, a few Cougar fans who work at Zions Bank decided to pull a sweet prank on one of the big wigs, who happens to be a big University of Utah fan.

They actually found and hired a window washer for the corporate building in downtown Salt Lake City. (notice the blue collar contractee is wearing a Utah hat received when he got his degree in commercial window washing from the U, plus he's a SELLOUT for accepting the bid.)


Then, they had him climb up the building.

The professional then applied big "Y" logo to the outside his office window

This way, he would be unable to rip the sign down.


Oh, the ingenuity!


Here is the official quote of the boss who was punked:

"We will hunt you down and kill you!"


Paying a guy to put up a "Y" sign on the outside of a building: about $150
Paying a guy to take down that same "Y" sign a week later: $150
Rubbin it in a Utes face: Worth every single penny

That is awesome. Now hopefully BYU wins so that the Ute fans don't rub it in our faces for the next year.

Even I will admit that is a good prank.

quote from a recent deseret news article, joe:

"On StubHub alone, the cheapest of the 300-plus available tickets being hawked are going for $110 apiece, the average price for tickets sold so far is $198, and a pair of seats in Redzone N 23 Row 40 are going for $3,200. Business majors at both schools might marvel at the capitalism in process here — all perfectly legal according to the Utah General Attorney's office, too — seeing as the face value of tickets for this game range between $35-$60."

"Best Prank Ever"? Really? You really think this is the best prank ever? Maybe "slightly noteworthy prank" would be a better description. "Best Prank Ever" would be painting the block U blue,or something along those lines. It's like you have never heard of a prank before. Best Prank Ever. Just sad.

That is seriously funny. Love that prank. Someone was telling me some people painted another guys office with blue and a white Y. I don't remember who that was though...Hmm.
