At the annual Dean's Cup basketball game between Temple and Villanova law schools, Tax Prof Alice Abreu was pied by her husband:
The back story from Tax Prof Keith Fogg:
When she and her husband were students at Cornell and just beginning to date, Alice snuck up behind him and pied him with a banana cream pie. He had never gotten her back. To raise money for students to engage in public interest work, which is the point of the basketball game and an auction that occurs before the game, Temple students paid money to vote for their favorite professor. Alice won and her husband was given the honor of hitting her with the pie in order to even the score from their college years. He talked about the history and lulled Alice into complacency before coming up behind her swiftly and surprising her with the banana cream pie.
