Well, after five years of abuse, my cornhole boards are worn out.  Plus, I'm getting tired of my crappy Iconic U paint job I did.

For those who don't know about cornhole, here are some links to get you up to speed.

pretty much it is a great game to play while tailgating.  You only use one hand, so a beer can occupy the other.  Also, you get better as you drink.

My goal is to build two nice boards.

With logos on each one.

I was thinking of these options.

this is the type of finished product I will be looking at(with Bulls of course):

Let me know what you guys think.

Also, I am trying to figure out how to get a really sharp graphic on there.  My last was freehand and it sucked.  Anyone with ideas on how to do this, whether big stickers or some kind of traceable image, I'm all ears.

I'll update with my progress through the offseason also.

I guess I'm of a different generation but when I see the word "cornhole" what it brings to mind has nothing to do with a game ...  :-\

Yeah, had me concerned there, too.

How about a Decal and then Polyurathane over it?

You can see the top of one of our boards here. 

It is painted like a football field, with a bumper sticker as the endzone logo at the top, a bigger sticker in the middle of the board (kind of like a midfield logo), with white yard lines going across and numbers (50 yd line at the bottom to 10 yd line right below the hole) on the edges.  You can see the "10 yard line" in that picture.

We have a blast.

Have you seen tailgate toss?  TailgateToss.com. 

I don't think these are regulation corn hole size. 

I prefer the homemade, regulation size boards...but I'm sure these are fun, very nice and might be easier to transport because they are smaller and light weight.  I think they sell them at ****'s.  Not bad for $100.

I've seen those at ****'s, but not USF.  Nothing is better than the real thing.  I am trying to figure out the best way to make good folding legs.  And I found a guy online to get graphics from.

What do you guys think for logos?

Does anyone know if USF has used the shield without "USF" in it.  I'm thinking maybe new USF with shield underneath it on one board and old school curvy USF with old Golden Brahma on the other board

"Have you ever taken your clothes off and run backwards through a corn field?!?!"

The best was when we parked next to some guys from Mississippi and they said" I heard a' cornhole before but it ain't look nothing like that."

and

"you got cornholed"
