How the backyard summer game became one of the nation’s fastest growing sports.

Six hours into the doubles tournament of the Third Annual New York State Cornhole Championship in Liverpool's Holiday Inn ballroom, title sponsor Jim Willey stepped out from under the blue tailgating tent that served as event headquarters and grabs a microphone.

Willey, a towering man with broad shoulders who wears a custom T-shirt with his name across the back, begins to speak. The deafening melody of thudding beanbags fades as more than 40 cornhole players turn toward him.

The Schine Underground was transformed into a Taiwanese paradise.

The Schine Underground looked like a Taiwanese fairground Wednesday night. The Taiwan Connection hosted a "Taiwan night" from 6 to 8:30 p.m. for SU students to experience Taiwan culture. Taiwanese games, prizes, food, and a flea market comprised the night's activities. Students could try their luck at games like marbles picking, throw the hoop, or poke it. Winners received candy and assorted knick-knacks. If gambling wasn't appealing, you could learn how to make origami or Sand Art.
