that would be truly wonderful...

when he backed out, we got Hakim right? the BLOCK? anyone?
 
Yes, we held out for Hodge leaving Warrick dangling...after he committed to the Wolfpack, we extended the offer to Hak...one of the best things that ever happened, even if by default...

Hak issued many monster dunks in his time. Way more than Hodge.
 
One of the best recruiting losses in Syracuse history!
 
Probably my favorite Orangeman of all time.

My favorite part of the alum game was seeing Hak back in the Dome throwing down dunk after dunk.

We finally have something to overshadow the Fine Mess. By G-d, it's a Raoul Duke sighting.

Coming out of your years of hibernation, I see, just in time for some MONSTER DUNKS versus NIT State. Good timing.
 
Raoul, below are some images you can cut and paste for your Avatar. You can also google Raoul Duke images and select one of those if you want. Welcome Back.





 
Just another example of how you should always want the players who want to be here.

On a somewhat unrelated note, if any of you Hunter S Thompson fans also appreciate fine beer mat I recommend the Gonzo Imperial Porter? One of my all time favorite brews.

ImperialOrange, who brews to Gonzo Imperial? It looks great. I have five gallons of Russian Imperial Stout in the final fermentation stage at home. Hoping to have it ready to drink for the holidays

It's Flying Dog. They've been creeping up my favorite brewery list. Raging Bitch, Doggie Style, and Snake Dog are very good. Haven't tried this one yet, might have to go find it.
 
Raoul Duke, Max Fisher and Suttree. All classic names in the Syracusefan.com history.

Move me to the "Washed Up" category and leave the other two as Classic. Then we have a winner. I've never been funny like those other guys.

But thanks! The advent of terrifying twins 4.5 years ago has had a whole lot to do with my status as a walk-on. The only supremacy I will confidently claim over those other two clowns is that Cormac McCarthy trumps both Hunter S. Thompson and Wes Anderson. Straight pwnage. (RD & Max will *not* agree.)

What incredible irony with the Julius Hodge story.

He held out, beat the Cuse his freshman year I believe.

Hakim comes to SU and is the philly flyer, gets the block, NC and beyond awesome.

But ultimately Hodge ends his collegiate career in the Dome losing in the Sweet 16.

Don't forget though that for NCST to get to the Sweet Sixteen, Hodge and his team upset Yukon in Worcester two days after we lost to (team who name I don't want to mention). I was at the NCState vs Yukon game and sat right behind Sendak's wife and the AD. Obviously I was rooting for Yukon to lose. I was one of only a few there who was. Actually made me feel good when the Wolfpack won.

NICE! I have 5 gallons of black IPA that I'm going to keg this weekend. Can't wait to try it out... my first time dry-hopping (if you read this wrong, get your mind out of the gutter).

Day after Christmas I'm brewing an herbed Belgian Wheat.

Let us know how the Russian Imperial Stout comes out. I've been wanting to brew one of those too!

wow, awesome to see Raoul Duke, suttree and Maxfisher all in one thread.

I still contest that Julius Hodge would have been great as an Orangeman. Not as good as Warrick turned out to be of course, but Hodge would have been a much better fit for Boeheim's system than he was for NC State's.

Flying Dog brewery is pretty good across the board, with the exception of one of their pale ales that I found to be god awful.

My favorite American breweries are Dogfishhead (unbelievable!), Laguantis, and Stone.

We have a dogfishhead tavern about 5 miles from where I live. Their stuff is incredible on tap.

Flying Dogs Canis Major mix pack is solid. Like most breweries their mid level stuff is decent but their big beers are pretty good across the board. I'm a fan of stouts and porters first and foremost so the Gonzo is right up my ally and winter is of course my favorite time for seasonals.

From the Flying Dog website:
"For the past 20 years, we’ve done just that. We produce world-class craft beers and continue to push the envelope with experimental brews and limited-edition one-offs. All the while, we continuously pay homage to our Gonzo Godfathers – George Stranahan, Hunter S. Thompson, and Ralph Steadman."

Art work on the bottles reflect that as well if you have a bottle wall for empties.

If you havent had the DFH Black and Red yet, find it if you can. It's very complex and unique.

Sorry didn't see you're reply until now but looks like others got you the info.

I have a starter home brew kit at home but haven't gotten a chance to get into it yet. How long does a batch of RIS take to make?

They had it on tap at our local tavern for awhile. I loved it, although I could only drink one at most. Very syrupy, and I loved the hint of mint. Unfortunately the manager told me it wasn't very popular so they likely wouldn't do it again.

If you like stouts, I have a recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Cream Stout that is pretty awesome, but somewhat of an acquired taste, as not everyone like Hazelnut.

Do you bottle or keg?

I had it at the brew pub in Rehobeth. My cousin and his wife rented a place for a week and he was there 5 of the 7 days including both days I was down.

At this point I do neither. I have the little playskool looking plastic beginner set up that's yet to be used.

I'd appreciate the recipe though since I have a friend that's far more involved with brewing than I am at this point.
 
Anyone ever try this?

I found it yesterday and trying it tonight. They also had a Chocolate Cherry Bock. Both were the first batch they made so I have no idea what to expect.
