A Guide to Tailgaiting Games: Ladder Golf

College and NFL Football is right around the corner, so its time to review some of your best options for prepping for the big game.

The Guide On How to Play: Throw bolas, or whatever the hell you want to call them, at the pvc pipe tower. Land it on the top rung for 3, middle rung for 2, bottom for 1. The team who scores the most points in a round gets their score minus their opponents score added to their total. Play to 21 and you're good.

Complexity: Limited - Another game that requires subtraction, shit Southerners can't play. Just kidding, it would be division that through the south for a loop, they can handle subtraction.

Ability to Hold a Beer While Playing: Solid - Holding a beer can only create better equilibrium in your throwing motion. Without a beer in your non-throwing hand you'll likely be off kilter and unable to throw in a straight line.

Is Beer Drinking the Objective: No - Another backyard game with optional drinking. It's encouraged to either quickly consume side beers or integrate sips into the scoring.

Space Needed: 7-10 Yards - Again the closer you put the ladders the easier it is to score, so it all depends on how hard you want the game to be.

Ease of Setup: Simple Well assuming you've built or bought a ladder golf set than you plop it anywhere, grass, parking lot, etc. and you are good to go.

The One Negative: Shit Falls Apart -If you buy one from a store than there is a good chance the bola's are either not made with golf balls and are soft to protect you (lame) or the ladder is a piece of shit and constantly falls apart. This is very very annoying so it is highly recommended to build your own and make it sturdy.

I recommend staking them down, as the longer you play and the more beers are consumed, and harder the throws become. This can knock down the ladders. I picked up tent stakes for mine and push them in at the front and back sections.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
