  • ATA 201: Signature #2 Preview: Memphis Brackets, Matchups to Watch, and Bold Predictions
    Jan 26 2026
    This week on Around the ACL, Meesh, Trey, and Anthony get you fully set for Signature #2 in Memphis, but first, a special moment to start the show. Commissioner Stacey Moore joins us to send Trey off and make an exciting announcement that sets the tone for what’s ahead in the 2026 season. From there, we break down everything you need to know about the Memphis schedule, including when Pro Doubles, Pro Singles, and Championship matches hit the boards and how to watch all weekend long. We dive deep into the Singles brackets, walking through Brackets A–D and discussing the paths, pressure points, and matchups that could shape the tournament. Who’s got the toughest road? Where could chaos break out? And which players are positioned to make a serious run? Then we shift to Pro Doubles, breaking down all four brackets and talking chemistry, momentum, and which teams look dangerous heading into one of the biggest weekends of the season. We close it out the only way we know how, with fast, bold, and sometimes unhinged predictions in Hole-y Hot Take as Signature #2 gets ready to light up Memphis.

  • ATA 200: From Day One to Now, the Listeners Who Built This, and the Future of Cornhole
    Jan 20 2026

    This week on Around the ACL, Meesh, Trey, and Jake celebrate a massive milestone: Episode 200. We start by saying thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, debated, and helped this show grow since day one. From our first episode back on October 11, 2021, to where the ACL and the game of cornhole stand today, this episode is all about reflection and appreciation.

    We look back at what life and cornhole looked like in 2021, how much the league has evolved, and how the sport itself has changed in ways people don’t always notice. Then it’s over to Listener’s Corner, where we read your answers to one simple question: What do you love most about the game of cornhole?

    From there, we dive into deeper Cornhole Conversations, including what truly separates good players from great players, what people obsess over that doesn’t actually matter, the small things that make the biggest difference, and where the sport still has the most room to grow.

    We wrap the celebration with a Cornhole Mad Lib, a few laughs, and finish strong with bold takes in Hole-y Hot Take. Episode 200 is about gratitude, growth, and the community that makes cornhole what it is.

    Jan 12 2026

    This week on Around the ACL, Meesh, Trey, and Anthony introduce the brand-new Pro Team format and break down what it means for the future of competitive cornhole.

    We walk through all 10 Pro Teams and give full draft grades, roster by roster — from the Virginia Cutters and Arizona Burn to the Georgia Sliders and Florida Freeze. Who stacked the most talent? Which teams built for chemistry? And who might have quietly built a powerhouse?

    This episode is all about momentum, structure, and how Pro Cornhole is evolving into something bigger than ever. We close it out with bold predictions and spicy takes in Hole-y Hot Take.
