I recently came across a news article from a major midwestern university in which a group of students were organizing what was described as a “cornhole tournament”. My response may best be described as shock, as I envisioned something less than wholesome – until I read a bit further and discovered that cornhole is a beanbag game popular in that region of the country, one that has become quite popular with all age groups.

Of course, the game has a number of names, because not everyone can say “cornhole” with a straight face. The game is also called corntoss and bean bag toss, and involves (now get ready for a real shocker here, folks) throwing bean bags into a hole in a board. And there is even a store located in Illinois that specializes in equipment for the game, with a website at Cornhole-Game.org.

One of the items I saw on the website is what they call the tailgate cornhole set. It might be neat to get one and paint it up with a Houston TexanÂ’s emblem and carry it with us to the games for a little git of entertainment while we are tailgating. After all, the sets are compact, durable, and would certainly fit in the trunk while we go in and enjoy the game after a good meal and a couple of drinks with friends.
