Due to the fact that this question was posted in the boxing category, i believe he was refering to "hoya" as in Oscar De La Hoya.

The athletic teams of Georgetown University are call The Hoyas. Here's a link to an essay on the different explanations for the name.
"The official explanation holds that there was a baseball team at Georgetown called the "Stonewalls". It is suggested that a student, applying Greek and Latin, dubbed the team the "hoia saxa" — hoia is the Greek neuter plural for "what" or "what a", while saxa is the Latin neuter plural for "rock". Substituting a "y" for an "i"; "hoya saxa" literally means "what rocks"."
There are lots of other possible explanations at the link.
