The USC fans are all up in arms about the prank, but here's a conversation between the USC player and the alleged Victoria after the incident ocurred and taken from the usc site.

Only because I feel that this conversation will help to stop all the trash talking about Cal fans, USC fans, UCLA fans, NCAA atheltes, etc.; I am going to post it online to share with everyone. Very recently, I had a conversation online with Gabe in which we discussed everything that happened. I feel that the conversation speaks for itself in that GABE PRUITT is an amazing individual. Every word that came out of my mouth in regards to how bad I felt for him after it was all over was true. He never deserved any of the cell phone stuff to get involved, but it did... and as he said... it worked. Of course Im not going to bash Cal fans in anyway whatsoever, we did a great job and it was a prank that may have never been done before and executed to such perfection. I want this to be the last negative post made about Gabe, Victoria, Cal, USC, UCLA and any other party involved! Thank you for understanding. Go Bears!

NOTE: This conversation has been altered for the privacy of Pruitt and myself… aka ‘Victoria’

Prank on USC basketball player Gabe Pruitt

LINK

March 14, 2006
Basketball Prank

On March 4, University of California Berkeley (Cal) played a basketball game against the University of Southern California (USC). With Cal in contention for the PAC-10 title and the NCAA tournament at stake, the game was a must-win.

Enter "Victoria."

Victoria was a hoax UCLA co-ed, created by Cal's Rally Committee. For the previous week, "she" had been chatting with Gabe Pruitt, USC's starting guard, over AOL Instant Messenger. It got serious. Pruitt and several of his teammates made plans to go to Westwood after the game so that they could party with Victoria and her friends.

On Saturday, at the game, when Pruitt was introduced in the starting lineup, the chants began: "Victoria, Victoria." One of the fans held up a sign with her phone number.

The look on Pruitt's face when he turned to the bench after the first Victoria chant was priceless. The expression was unlike anything ever seen in collegiate or pro sports. Never did a chant by the opposing crowd have such an impact on a visiting player. Pruitt was in total shock. (This is the only picture I could find.)

The chant "Victoria" lasted all night. To add to his embarrassment, transcripts of their IM conversations were handed out to the bench before the game: "You look like you have a very fit body." "Now I want to c u so bad."

Pruitt ended up a miserable 3-for-13 from the field.
