Syracuse Basketball Player Preview: Howard Washington – Orange Fizz – Free Syracuse Recruiting News (orangefizz.net; Grossman)
In the relativeley recent past, Syracuse has produced some high caliber point guards. Michael Carter-Williams led the 2012-13 Orange to a Final Four and his successor, Tyler Ennis carried the Orange to a 25-0 start in 2013-14. There is no question that there has been a drop off in point guard play these past few seasons. Is it possible that the (seemingly) long wait for a consistent point guard is over? Well, he hasn’t played a game yet, but incoming freshman Howard Washington has already drawn some heft comparisons. In fact, he compared himself to the Syracuse alum and Los Angeles Lakers guard Tyler Ennis. Washington told Syracuse.co:
“Coach GMac and Coach Boeheim, that’s the first thing they said, I’m Tyler Ennis 2.0.”

Brewery Ommegang at 20: Why this Upstate NY beer company remains one of a kind (PS; Cazentre)
Twenty years ago, a group of visionary beer enthusiasts brought forth on a former hop field in Upstate New York a new idea for an American brewery.
It would focus on Belgian ales. It would be housed in a place called a “farmstead.” It would make itself a destination (despite its out-of-the-way locale).
Brewery Ommegang has spent the two decades since it began making beer in late 1997 blazing trails for both Belgian- and American-style brewing. On its 20th anniversary (which it’s celebrating with a special beer, of course), Ommegang continues to do things its own way.
“We still have one foot in Belgium and one foot in the States,” said Doug Campbell, the company’s president and general manager. “We still aim for a little more of a high-end market than many brewers. We still think we’re a special place.”
