Nice piece in today’s (Wednesday, 3/21) WaPo Metro section about the Hoyas Lawyas and their annual charity basketball game. The Lawyas team is comprised of GU Law Center professors and they take on members of Congress, aka the Hill’s Angels, to raise money for the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless. Story says that some $3 million has been raised since the game began in the late 1980s. Tonight’s tipoff at Gonzaga marks the 20th year for the contest. Hoya Saxa, indeed. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/20/AR2007032001505.html |

This is a great find. BB&T "Classic" can suck it.

I've been to a couple of these (they used to play in McDonough), and Congressman Flake from AZ is a pretty decent player.

This is a great tradition. I would love it if Plotkin and/or the BUM would take an honest look at all of the good we Hoyas do in DC -- not just Charity basketball games, but legal clinics (one of my best law school experiences, and none of my clients went to jail), sursum corda, after school tutoring . . . the list goes on.

Nope. The only way to benefit the community is by playing GW for charity. I thought we all knew that.

Where has HoyaLawya been all year? Uh ... Lawya'ing, maybe?  Glad to see the tradition of the Hill's Angels' games continuing over on the New Jersey Ave. campus. And to add to the charitable mystique of the Hoya Lawya larger community, I will duly note that much of March found me in Africa on my second trip in 6 months delivering aid supplies to a destitute area where "Offspring of Hoya Lawya" is currently on assignment with Peace Corps. Got back just in time for March Madness and seeing some of the Hoya games in the NCAA's. |
