San Antonio Is Crazy About Cornhole

March 7th, 2008 - - Filled in: San Antonio, Sports

I’m sure you’re wondering what the h3LL it is I’m talking about. Cornhole! You know…the game. In Texas, we know a game called washers…played in every backyard BBQ, tailgate, and college fraternity house in the Great State.

Cornhole is spreading like wildfire

What Is Cornhole?
Well thanks to Incredible Technologies, the creators of the ever-popular Golden Tee, their latest video game BAGS is sweeping the nation. The game is based on midwestern sensation, Cornhole. The premise is similar to horseshoes…toss a bag filled with corn at a hole in a platform about 30 ft away.

Where Can I Play?
We’ve decided to start hosting Cornhole matches at RETOX on Sundays. My brother and I built some boards this week, stocked up on some bags…and we’re ready to rumble! You can find out where to play cornhole in your city on one of these Cornhole Forums: CornholePlayers.net and CornholeParty.com.

RETOX BAR SAN ANTONIO IS CRAZY ABOUT CORNHOLE!

Cornhole In The Media
During a recent interview, Stephen Colbert talks to Congressman Zack Space about Cornhole.

American Cornhole Organization is an outfit dedicated to promoting this pastime across the globe. They manufacture products, organize leagues and tournaments, and promote the sport through various entertainment channels (TV, movies, viral, celebrity, etc) via its brand.

Of course, there’s also a movie. An indie so far, but don’t be surprised to see this one make the big screen. It’s about time for “the next dodgeball”. Go check it out at CornholeTheMovie.com.
