The National Tailgating League Ready To Kickoff

The National Tailgating League (The NTL), a newly formed organization created to sanction and execute organized tailgating games including Cornhole, Ladder Golf and Washer Toss competitions, is ready to hold the first officially sanctioned event during Memorial Day weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway. In conjunction with the 50th running of the Coca-Cola 600, the inaugural NTL doubles cornhole tournaments will take place on May 23 and May 24 in the campgrounds of LMS.

The NTL is hoping to expose one of the largest tailgating parties in the world to a fully sanctioned cornhole tournament, and name the "Cornhole King of the Campgrounds.

"Tailgating once was the event before the event," said Todd Hirschfeld, creator of the NTL and president of HMS Worldwide, a sports and lifestyle marketing agency. "Today, tailgating is the main course and through the NTL, we're going to organize and sanction events for sportsmen all over the country."

Best Beer Pong Table Ever?

Conduct a search on youtube for "Best Beer Pong Table Ever," and you will end up with over 38,000 results. It seems that most beer pong table creators out there ultimately believe that their “work of art” is numero uno. Well, step aside because I think we may have found one that truly has earned the right to be in the conversation for "Best Beer Pong Table Ever!" This table features a computer screen (I don't know what for either, but just roll with it.), red and blue themed LED lights, and a shiny acrylic (plexiglass) protective cover. The only thing you could add to it would be a DMX controller to make those LEDs run wild!

Do Some Tailgating On Your iPhone

We may have found an item that can help relieve some of the tailgate withdrawal going around. A new application for the iPhone and iPod, entitled "Tailgate Games" recently made its debut on iTunes. The game comes complete with 4 different tailgate games to play, which include Cornhole, Horse Shoes, Ladder Golf, and Washers. There is even a tournament mode that lets you unlock opponents as you advance through the bracket. Another cool feature is its stats system that keeps track of how many holes you've hit in Cornhole and other such numbers. Each game follows its official rules and regulations as stated by its governing authority.

We figure that if we can't go to the tailgate, why not bring the tailgate to us.

The Worst Possible Flip Cup Conditions

The next time you hear someone complain during a flip cup game about a breezy 5 MPH wind, remind them it could be worse. Here is Exhibit A. By the way, the girl in the orange is our pick for MVP, in a losing effort. Not only was she the only one-flipper, she was trying to block the blizzard winds as well! Kudos to you, girl in orange jacket.

Beer Pong Table Plans to be World's Largest

LED Beer Pong Table

It's official! We have now seen it all. This one-of-a-kind mega geek project is decorated with 120 RGB LED, and powered by five microcontrollers. The lights pulse and change color dependent on how the cups are setup on the table. Future plans include an automated scoreboard to complete the project.

Look below to see the video of this table in action.

Cornhole Gets a Theme Song

Tailgatelot.com has now become fans of "Rhett and Link," who have beautifully written and performed "The Cornhole Song." All we have to say about it is "an olympic sport in 2024!"

ESPN is on Top of Things

ESPN, the all-knowing "Yogurt" (see Spaceballs) of sports, has decided to be welcomed into the 2000's by calling Beer Pong "America's next great pastime."

Looks like ESPN fell victim to another slow news day, and decided to bring out a story that was probably meant to be ran shortly after they removed their nose out of the Florida voting debacle. What are they going to report on next? Hip Hop's influence on the NBA.
