Behind the Curtain of Distraction: We Went Undercover with the Most Creative Fans in College Hoops
My name is Harry DiCecco. I'm a graduate student here at Arizona State University studying computer science, and I've been part of the 942 crew every year I've been at ASU.

Like 20, I would say. Because we've got normally seven, eight seconds for each shot, and then the time in between, close and open.

A big sweatshirt, two arm holes like normal, and then just two heads. And me and Logan were both in there.

Tight fit.

Oh, yeah. And then to convey the one type of body, what we ended up doing was wearing both black and white morphs. So on our outside leg, you'll see white morphs because our unicorns are white. And then you'll see on the inside leg are black legs.

So our idea here was basically to try to make those inner legs disappear and just have a set of two legs, making the walk look as natural as possible, quote unquote natural.

Okay, so me and Logan are like conjoined unicorns, okay?
Pablo Torre Finds Out

So like right, left, right. Yeah, like three paces. And then me and you are going to make out in the unicorn mask, right?

Second one, we're going to step out, except we're going to both turn inwards, make out with each other, and you two are like, what the heck? You guys are pissed that we abandoned you. Perfect.
Pablo Torre Finds Out

All right, here we go. You ready? So we're waiting for the shot. We coordinate our walkout and we just start making out.

This skit was really interesting too because this shooter held the ball for three centuries, it felt like. I feel like I was making out. I was getting tired. I was getting winded from making out so much.

We kind of all thought up of the idea... and I gotta wear a vest over top of this. That Marty McFly and Doc, we were coming back from the future trying to look for somebody.

It's building. It's building. He's going to drive the lane right here. I feel it. Travel violation. Good for the game, bad for the curtain. They're nervous.

Come back. I sense it. Cleanest layup I've ever seen. Nobody touched him on the way up.

He was on an island. Pablo picked the wrong game.

Second shot, we wanted to be somebody that was on the court. Whoever we did it for was standing behind the three-point line.

That was probably one of the worst skits to be an and one. So me and Logan kind of looked at each other. We knew what we had to do.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
Behind the Curtain of Distraction: We Went Undercover with the Most Creative Fans in College Hoops
What was that?
Pablo Torre Finds Out
Behind the Curtain of Distraction: We Went Undercover with the Most Creative Fans in College Hoops
It was actually the returning side piece from the previous curtain ensemble. The right half of the unicorn was going at it with the right side piece again. The left side of the unicorn never made up with the argument that happened at the previous game. They did not return. So they were mad that the right side was getting all the action and they were not involved.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
Behind the Curtain of Distraction: We Went Undercover with the Most Creative Fans in College Hoops
Yeah. Yeah. I'll be I'll be out of here in like two months. Yeah.
Pablo Torre Finds Out
Behind the Curtain of Distraction: We Went Undercover with the Most Creative Fans in College Hoops
Yeah, I know. I had the title spot, but somebody stole it from me, so...

You know, it keeps me young. The person that was in charge of the curtain before me, he starred as the sexy Cookie Monster. And he did an amazing job with that character, and we had a lot of fun with that. And that's who sexy Santa appeared alongside.

I got showed out recently. By Logan, yep. Yeah, I got showed out, but yeah, I just love seeing the young guys, you know, pass the older record.

I'm going to be honest, that's probably one of my favorite parts about it. It's 100% how I grew up a sports fan too. I'm from Philadelphia, so I'm very used to trying to scream at the enemy team, and Curtain just allowed me to have a much more direct impact on that. It's just a great, enjoyable time.

Some of the best moments have been last year, I played an aerobics dancer, like an 80s aerobics dancer. I put on this leotard. I put on this big afro. And I remember getting a miss. Knowing that they spent their whole lives dedicated to basketball and me in a leotard is making you miss something that you've trained to do. That's an amazing feeling.
Pablo Torre Finds Out

Yeah, so we did two major skits, basically, that we had. But our idea behind it was, what if we killed the opposing team's mascot? We went out very first curtain. The mascot got killed in some sort of fashion, whether it be knockout or whatever the case. And then the dead mascot was propped up in front of the student section and basically ragdolled.

Tasteful, yes.
