Drivers licensing doesn't keep all bad drivers off the road. So why do all of us law abiding, good drivers have to get a license and register our cars? Outlawing abortion won't eliminate all abortions. So why have any laws regulating them? "Defending marriage" won't keep little Johnny from growing up knowing that he's different only to later realize he's gay. Drug laws don't keep drugs off our streets. Why should responsible drug addicts have to be subject to these laws?

Breaking Bad American Horror Story Orange is the New Black Sons of Anarchy That should get you started...also if you like Pacific, you'll love Band of Brothers. I thought it was the better of the two.

I was pretty awesome at Tecmo Super Bowl back in high school.

Welcome to the board MGM and thanks for your service to our country!

Did I just witness PlummMeanGreen argue with himself?

We cut our cable over a year ago and have had little regret. If there's a game I really want to watch, I'll pay for the internet stream or head to BWW.

I'm not sure the exact price because I got it as a birthday gift, but the customized boards are $180 and come with a set of bags. The lights were $30 and I believe the customization of the bags was an extra $25. Not sure what shipping was, but the box was 65 lbs so it probably wasn't cheap. As reference, a non customized finished set of boards and bags is $130 and non finished (ready to paint) set of boards and bags is $90. Some might think its overpriced, but the finished product is top notch and I'm very happy with it. If I had an ounce of artistic skill, I might have gotten the non finished boards and painted/finished them myself. My neighbor built his set entirely from scratch and painted it himself (with Ohio State logo...yuck) and his came out really well, but he's in construction so he's got the skills/confidence to do so.

I'm flattered to have my bags wanted. I had Victory use the same vector file to add them to the bags. They can customize the bags with any image you give them (although I think they have prefered file types for the bag customization). Let me know if you'd like the vector file and I can PM it to you.

I posted photos of the finished product in the Gallery. Big thanks go out to Smitty for his design. We ended up using a vector file (EPS) of the Mean Green SOW logo and Victory Tailgate added color and the background. I also couldn't resist adding the green LED's.

I did wonder if it originated as a prison game.

I don't know about that...I never heard of it until I moved to Colorado 6 years ago and the guys that got me into it were in their early 20's and from Ohio. I was in my late 20's then.

I got in touch with Smitty. I'll post pictures of the final product when I get them. With alot of practice, maybe one day I can become the Great Cornholio.

Hey, it beats "bean bag" or "bean bag toss" which is what some try to call it. The ACA (American Cornhole Association) is already established as the governing body of the sport, so I guess they're stuck with it.

Thanks Harry...yea, I figured he's pretty busy...guess I should just be a little more patient.

I'm trying to get this sweet design (thanks Smitty and meangreenworld.com!) put onto a cornhole board through a custom builder, but only have a low quality (400 x 840) jpeg of it. The vendor says they'd prefer a vector file (AI, EPS, or scalable PDF) or at least a much high resolution file of the logo. For anyone with a graphic design background, I have a few questions: Would Smitty have a vector file version of this (I've tried to contact him, but unsuccessful so far)? I would think so since he made several sizes of this for wallpapers. If he likely would, it would be worth it for me to be patient until I get a hold of him. If Smitty would not likely have a vector file version, are there any other options (other contacts or otherwise) I might have for getting a high resolution file of at least the logo and "mean green"? One of the things I love about this design is the background, but it sounds like the vendor can pretty easily create something similar if I can at least get them the logo in high res. I've seen some awesome talent on the board (especially when it comes to uniform and helmet talk ), so if someone has a similar design in a vector or high res file, I'd welcome those too. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to graphic design, so any advice would be appreciated. Feel free to PM me if you wish. Thanks!

Anyone have Smitty's direct email address? If so, please PM me. I sent him a PM last week, but it doesn't look like he isn't checking into GMG.com very often (taking a break during the slow summer months, I guess). Thank you!

Some interesting background on the origins of Memorial day: http://www.snopes.com/military/memorialday.asp

Hyperbole?

At least it would be better spent than the debt we went into for Iraq.

This...what's the point of having drug regulations and laws?

You beat me to it...yes there is no separation between public and private schools here. In fact, there is starting to be some debate about it because the private schools are starting to "beat up" on the public schools in athletic competitions because they can select who goes to their schools and not be limited by district lines. Valor is a big player in this because they've won alot recently.
