The idea for the prank had arisen out of the indignation that a group of Caltech students (who would come to be known as the "Fiendish Fourteen") felt at Caltech's lack of representation at the Rose Bowl's famous New Year's Day game.

It was the sheer public spectacle of the prank that set it apart—that it was staged not just at a college football game, but at the nationally televised Rose Bowl, probably the most famous annual college football game of all.
