HO-YA SA-XA! HO-YA LAW-YA!

In honor of the LLDD’s beloved Hoyas winning the Big East for the first time since A.I. and the Junkyard Dog modeled deodorant (above), and the team being picked by Sports Guy to reach the 2007 NCAA finals, I devote this low-posting to everything Georgetown.

• Georgetown is actually celebrating 100 Years of Hoya Basketball. You can easily recognize some of the more famous ex-Hoya big men ballers: Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Henry Hyde … Yep, Henry “Clinton Impeachment” Hyde. He was apparently into some serious double dribbling.

• Sadly, the LLDD attended Georgetown just before the Hoyas’ resurgence, when they played their home games before a 90% empty MCI Center, their best player was Jahidi "Heidi Heidi High" White, and were coached by Georgetown law alum Atty. Craig Esherick (when asked one time about some trash talking by rival Maryland, Esherick replied, “I know they're not talking about law schools”; his high academic standards vis-à-vis his coaching record made a sportswriter quip, "If the goal is to graduate players, and it's a fine goal, put an English professor in charge of the team because he can graduate players and lose to Virginia Tech twice, too").

• Georgetown students seem to have a lot of time on their hands making slick school videos and twitting their college rivals.

(what the...? Georgetown alums Sara of America's Next Top Model and R & B Singer Amerie . . . How did these get in here?)

• I’m still depressed that Georgetown Law’s huge Fitness Center was built right after I graduated. I mean, come on, Shea Butter Melt massages on campus?! (and can you imagine if I returned home with a Master’s degree and ripped abs? Hoya Saxa? Try Hoya Sexy!)

• The gorgeous Georgetown neighborhood would be more dear to me if I actually studied or lived there. Unfortunately, I stayed in a not-quite-upscale part of Arlington, and the law school was on the other side of Downtown D.C. On the other hand, there were no Metro stops in Georgetown, and I would have missed out on the sights and sounds of the D.C. subway system (actually, the D.C. Metro is very safe, but sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands over there [especially when these guys are guarding Georgetown!])

• Who knew? Filipinos represent at G-Town! Hip-hop meets tinikling! (when I was there, my only cultural contribution was bringing choc-nut to one of the parties)
