The best part of the hack was the weather ballonn MIT had secreted at mid-field and which rose in the middle of the stadium during the half-time show proudly emblazoned with "M I T" on it.
You forget Caltech's response at the Rose Bowl in ... I think it was 1986. A student took over the computers controlling the scoreboard for 20-30 minutes (they had to cut power to the entire scoreboard to stop it). IIRC, he even got 9 credits for independent study (and had only asked for 3). |
