Cornhole

[buckeyefool]

it is a great game. Hell most times you don't even have to put down your beer.

Well, when you put it like that, ScarletNGry I feel dirty.

At least you didn't make your moniker "ButIkissbuttocks"...

Mili - If I had had this nick when I first came to this board, I'm sure you would have dubbed me that for all eternity!

I was at a party in June where the game was being played in the back yard... after several hours of playing the area where the players stand (next to the hole) was all ripped up... so much for not ripping up a lawn...

When you see triple aim for the center one.... it tends to work out ok

How can you support a game called "cornhole" that is supposed to be played with your clothes on...?

 

[vrbryant]

Drinking games, by and large, are pretty stupid...but beer pong is clearly far superior to cornhole.

 

[FKAGobucks877]

No way. Beer Pong rules, but it is a true drinking game. Cornhole is more of a tailgating or cookout game. Kind of like Bocce ball.

I've heard it called Baggo (sp?) or something like that too. Where was this game when I was in college? Unlike at tOSU, at Fordham you could practically shoot a cannon off in the parking lot before home football games (except for Homecoming weekend). This would have been perfect...

baggo was the game we played a few times while tailgating.... a friend of mine has the game. I don't see why anyone would buy it when you can easily make a set on your own. It did get more interesting as they day went on and the more we drank.

I tried playing but the vaseline makes the bags to slippery. :2004:

Everyone I've met has two initial impressions of this game (I'm included):

1. What a stupid game! You just throw these stupid bags into that stupid hole???
2. What a stupid name! How can you feel good about yourself when you want to play cornhole???

Everyone I've seen who has played the game has two final impressions of the game (I'm included):

1. This game kicks ass! I think I'm going to spend the $40 in plywood, paint, fabric, and of course, corn to make my own set. There's no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than to drink beer and beat your friends at cornhole. Which brings me to the second point....
2. What a stupid name! How can you feel good about yourself when you want to play cornhole???


I first played it a year ago at a family reunion near Cincinnati (cornhole capital of the world). And yes, I've already heard the jokes about playing cornhole at a family reunion. I made my own set and introduced it to some people up here in Cleveland. Many of them have now made their own sets as well.

A buddy of mine suggested an official Cornhole slogan: Bad name, great game.

I love this game! That said, I don't want any part of whatever dubious item Yertle was searching for that made him come across a thread involving any type of cornhole.

amen to that I played it this past weekend. A real fun game, just like horseshoes and the beer was free.

Cornhole is legendary on tOSU campus. Drive down Lane or a road near that on a sunny day and I guarantee you see 3-5 different games going on

Is that what they want to be called, now? I guess anything is better than the "Queen City."

I like this slogan: Great game, now go get me a beer, bitch!
