Not getting defensive. I said the exact same thing you did.

I think the name I grew up on the game with sounds better, shocker.

    That's what I've always thought as well. I've seen and been a part in sanctioned cornhole tournaments and have never seen another name used for it.

    It actually sounds like a name that the person who invented it would've called it.

    The game itself seems fine but, as others have said, it looks like it could be a bit of a hassle at an actual tailgate where a ton of other people are around playing other games.

    I'd prefer if you didn't just spam a football thread w this (you could make a thread in the NdmbC but you might get trolls and a few real opinions)


    the concept is good; the goal posts and kicking makes it impracticable. You don't want anyone kicking around a parking lot at a tailgate. I get the goal posts b/c it looks cute and shows you it's a football game but it's completely useless



    You're actually close; it's not there yet but you actually have a good idea going. You'd be better served to get a nerf (type) football and pitch it as a beach game, and market it as a game that can use any ball (soccer, golf - not bowling)

My brother took the game to an Atlanta Falcons vs. redskins game about 2 weeks ago and he sold 10 units in about an hour, which was awesome. We are actually going to the beach this Labor Day weekend and will test it out there as well. Regarding packing it up and putting away, we made the bag bigger to accommodate the goalposts much easier. If anyone has suggestions on where to post, I am all ears? Again, I appreciate the feedback.

    I think the kicking also sucks from a scoring perspective. There's no way that that is easy, and yet it's worth only 1 point. I know you want the synergy with football, but I'd rather not even waste time kicking extra points, both for the complications and space constraints, and for the very limited payoff.

    Bags? As in like "let's go play bags"? Awful name.

    It's cornhole. Always was, always will be. Ghetto horseshoes is better than bags too.

Listen, I know people are pissed because I posted here and honestly that was not my intention, was truly looking for feedback and I received it, which is fine. I have been a fan of DMB for some time, saw them back in 1995 at Irving Plaza in NYC during the Under the Table and Dreaming tour, but I haven't followed them for sometime, got my kids into Remember Two things and Table and they love them, point is I am a fan of the band and will always love their music, just thought I could reach out to the community and obviously that might not be the case, perhaps could have approached it in a different fashion.

    I've honestly always thought cornhole was a terrible name so I don't disagree that it's dumb.

    Then I heard bags.

    Cornhole sounds like a name that a 40 year old who's still obsessed with Beavis and Butthead would use.

    Of course they are great. But are you still walking around 20 years later doing Cornholio impressions?

    Gotta grow up and have an adult name for a game eventually.

    Its like calling Ladder toss (which does have a variation of names) "Golf balls on a string"

    Or calling Kan-Jam (if it wasnt a brand) "Frisbee"

    The "American Cornhole Association" is apparently a thing, so I would say that kinda settle thats the official name.
