Wow! If it is real!

Now this is cool! Go Aggies! I watched this a couple of times, and only thing I can see is the curve of the basketball. But the FORCE of the ball hitting the backboard and rim makes me think that it might be the real thing! So look at the link in the comments section and order your Aggie cornhole game and throw one from the upper deck!

Iowa State - Doing It "Old School"

Check out the "old school" logo for Iowa State Cyclones on the corn hole game! I personally think this logo was the best one they had, followed closely by the twister with Iowa State on top. (Remember when they used to wear yellow or red helmets to signify they were either doing good at football or in the classroom? Those were the days when we could actually BEAT Colorado and Kansas!)

So what does everyone think of the stellar job Jamie Pollard is doing (~sarcasm~)! Somedays that guy amazes me with his stupidity. Well, most days.

Inside Look at Brett Favre's Office

Friends and family have asked to see the new office setup. Well, here it is. Can you guess my favorite player? Only the all-time leading in many NFL records. Again we come to the time of year when players decide to hang it up or play again. I really don't care which way he goes, and where he goes. He will always be a Packer! I can still remember watching the game when he came in for the Majik man. "Who is the Fave-Ray guy? Crap, there goes the season and probably getting to the Superbowl in the next ten years." Well, only a few short years later we won back the Lombardi Trophy.

So the wife makes fun of my ACTION FIGURES!! (She calls them dolls - not very funny). It is amazing the quality they come in. And the photos and tribute magazines I all bought up in Wisconsin when I was up there last April, when he first retired. I actually have a plaque that lists his "career achievements" but only though the 2007 season. Maybe a collectors "error" item in the future?

Thanks and keep up with the updates on the cornhole games at http://www.tailgategamers.com/! Thanks!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The last game of the year went out the door last night, so we are shutting down the cornhole factory for the rest of the holiday season! I have requested pictures from people who have gotten the games and are giving them for a Christmas present (you know who you are) to see the look on everyone's faces. Stay tuned for some great photos! Here is the last game of 2008:

Thanks to Margaret, Leland, Steven and especially Tracy for the recent orders. And thanks everyone for the great year!

Now I get to go out and battle the 3 inches of sleet we got last night, then to KC for a much needed break!

Bucky Badger to a Bowl?

On Wisconsin! This weekend the Badgers may become bowl eligible! Let's hope so! These games are going down to Arkansas to Mark and Patty! I know they will get put to good use over the holidays.

And how about that Hawkeye victory over the Nitny Lions? I personally think the BCS is a joke, so the more teams that don't go undefeated, the better. I would love to see 2-3 teams that are undefeated (Utah, Boise State, Ball State) stay that way and then NOT be invited to the championship. Just isn't fair.

Anyway, thanks to Heather, Michelle, Ryan and Keith for their orders! And for those of you thinking winter is coming, it's here in Iowa. So we'll be playing cornhole in the garage until thaw!

Wooooooo. Pig. Sooie!

Great set of Arkansas Razorback Cornhole Games! Big game this weekend against Alabama Crimson Tide! In doing the research, I found out the proper hog call (this link includes AUDIO!)

Barry, a freind of mine is a die hard Tide fan, so he would probably make me defile these games, so I am getting them out via UPS before the game this weekend.

Thanks for everyone who has been asking question on our great customized products.

Thanks to Mike, Amber, Derek, Scott and especially Holly for their recent orders!!

Buttin' Heads

How's about this for some family (or friend) tension? And at a family reunion! The lucky owner let me know that these games are going to be used at a family outing soon! Who will win?

I can hear it now - "In the red corner, sporting the new Iowa State Cyclone logo, the Iowa State Cornhole game! In the black corner, proudly wearing the tigerhawk, the University of Iowa Hawkeye Cornhole game!"

And it raises a philosophical question: So is it better to throw the bags at your team or at the enemy?

Family Ties

Talk about creative! Erin, who is in my networking group, ordered a board to paint her boyfriend's family crest on the game. The photo says it all! It looks awesome and impressive! Way to go Erin!
