Back by popular demand, Corn Hole Classic 5 will be held September 26, 2008 at Legends of Notre Dame (on the ND Campus). This beanbag tossing game features two players per team in a horseshoe-like competition, and is revered by college students and real-worlders alike.

Corn Hole Classic 5 is an outdoor tournament, which is one reason to sign up — we’ll be freezing in our January fleeces before we know it. Throughout the evening, Legends will be showing classic ND football games and highlights on big screen TVs. All proceeds from the tournament will benefit the programs at the Center for the Homeless.

Tournament play runs from 6-10 p.m. Teams are set up in March Madness-style brackets — and who doesn’t love a good bracket? Space is limited. Players can register online at www.cfh.net. You must be 18 or older to play. The cost is $50 per team.

This event takes place the night before Purdue vs. Notre Dame, so expect it to be a sellout.

To register for the Corn Hole Classic 5 visit www.cfh.net or call (574) 282-8700 ext. 354.

The Center for the Homeless is home to 200 people on any given day, including nearly 60 children. Guests and staff work with the community to break the cycle of homelessness through personal development, education and job-training programs.


A lot has happened since the last installment of Pop Bites on 8/22. Joe Biden and Sarah Palin are our veep nominees, football season is in full swing and hurricanes are ravaging the coast. It’s certainly turning out to be an unpredictable year. But anyway, on to today’s interesting headlines …

1. Britney Spears won big at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, taking home three silver Moonmen. She likes shiny things.

2. In case you needed yet another reason to zone out on a Monday, Rolling Stone posted “The 25 Funniest Web Videos.” You can thank me later.

3. After an explosive summer (and, really, what could top Dark Knight‘s hype?), the fall box office is off to a historically slow start.

4. Madonna, obviously a lapsed Catholic, dedicated a concert rendition of “Like a Virgin” to the Pope.

5. Stephen Colbert will send his DNA into space. And don’t worry, I’m sure he doesn’t really know why, either.
