Well, when one of your hobbies is genealogy you find a lot of relatives. For the record, the recent mention of a a relative in New Jersey was my wife's family. Her maiden name was Halley; her g-grandfather, Levi Halley, of Greenville, Ohio, married a woman from New Jersey, of Dutch heritage, by the name of Carrie Vorhis. One of her Halley relatives, a fourth cousin, lives near Rutgers. Aren't you glad you asked? ;-)

Hey, you didn't even mention my mother's family from Iceland!

While certainly impressive, I don't recall ever asking.

Graduated in 2006 and had to stay an extra summer session to finish completing my credits. That summer Red Brick Tavern had $1 draft Bud Lights all summer, all day every day. My roommate and I would get out of class and go straight there and be good to go and only short about $10 out of our pocket. Had some great times there.

Cats Eye was always my go-to other than that. When I'm back in town I always have to stop at Tony's for hot nuts shots.

And I'm not sure why we're even debating this when everyone knows the best bar in town is Smiling Skull.

As far as favorite drink? It never failed but anytime I ever went to a random house party there was always a keg of Amber Bock. I don't think I've drank it since I left Athens but I always found that hilarious.

I have the fondest memories of Red Brick, mostly due to karaoke on Thursdays. Great times were had.

When I was at OU (2000-2005), Amber Bock and Killian's Irish Red were the two go-to beers when you wanted to class things up a little bit. My now-wife was very impressed when I showed up to her place with a sixer of Killian's the first time we hung out outside of class.
