This week on Around the ACL, Meesh, Trey, and Jake share what they’re most thankful for, on and off the boards, before diving into a deep round of Real Talk on the state and future of cornhole. The crew tackles tough questions: Should pros be allowed at local events? How can we keep the game welcoming to newcomers while maintaining competitive integrity? And is cornhole’s magic rooted in the sport itself, or in the culture that built it?

Then, Meesh reveals big ACL Academy changes coming in 2026, and things get festive with a hilarious round of Complicated Thanksgiving Dishes, where the hosts decode dishes from their twisted synonyms and antonyms. They wrap it all up with hot predictions in Hole-y Hot Take.
