Personalize Your Cornhole Board
If you don’t have the artistic skills to paint a design on your cornhole board by hand, there’s another option for you. You can head over to Kinko’s or another print shop and get a poster printed and laminated. Then nail or glue the laminated poster to your cornhole board and cut out the hole. You end up with a sharp looking board that can have mud, water, or spilled beer wiped off of it much easier than wood.

Thanksgiving Tailgating
If you’re tailgating for the Texas/A&M game next Thursday on Thanksgiving or just looking to use some leftovers as part of your fare, we’ve got a couple of links and suggestions for you.
Beeriety has a post on pairing beers with your Thanksgiving meal. They also have a more general post on how to pair beer with food.
Turkey – Oktoberfest (Paulaner), Biere de Garde (3 Monts), Bock (Anchor Bock).
Sweet potato – Brown Ale (Newcastle), ESB/English Bitter (Fullers), Pumpkin Beer (Dogfish Head Punkin).
Stuffing – Rye Ale (Founder’s Red Rye).
Pumpkin pie – Dunkelweiss (Weihenstephaner Dunkel), Dopplebock (Ayinger), Cream Ale (Sam Adams), Pumpkin Beer (Dogfish Head Punkin).
Green beans/veggies – Pale Ale (Sam Smith).
Cranberry sauce – Lambic (Lindemans Framboise).
The Georgia Sports Blog made a Turducken for their tailgate a few years ago. A Turducken consists of a chicken that is stuffed inside a duck which is then stuffed inside a turkey. Read about the recipe and planning and the aftermath.
The Real Simple website has a recipe for using your leftover turkey to make Reuben sandwiches that you can serve hot by grilling over a campfire stove.
Turkey Reuben Sandwiches
1. Spread 4 slices rye bread with Dijon mustard and another 4 with Russian dressing.
2. Dividing evenly, top the mustard-spread bread slices with 8 slices roasted turkey, 1 cup sauerkraut, 8 slices Swiss cheese, and the remaining bread.
3. Pan-fry the sandwiches in olive oil until the cheese melts.

I’ve had beggars come by my tailgating spot. I’ve been given free stickers, koozies, and had my picture taken. I’ve had people try to sell me game programs and t-shirts. But this Saturday I came across the best entrepreneurial idea yet. This girl was walking around tent to tent selling cigars. I’d say after a few hours of drinking beer and football, 90% of men of men are in the mood for a cigar. She also had one cigar with the home team Georgia Dawgs on the label to seal the deal. Just a fantastic idea.
