The Basketball Diaries: A visiting British scholar considers the American spectacle known as UT Men's Basketball
This is pretty good.
"Although the enforced stoppages are infuriating, the first half has been thoroughly enjoyable. I’ve been especially impressed by the band as well, who do their best to whip up the orange-clad student section; the sound of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” being performed by a marching band is a strange one indeed. The time-outs are also enlivened by what appear to be slave kids who appear from nowhere to wipe the surface clean. Is this some kind of Mascoting 101? I’m not entirely convinced it’s legal, but it does lend a surprising Dickensian air to proceedings."
