Thanks, we'll check it out, though we don't walk past 8th usually, 6th is obviously not much further.  Menu looks interesting, not typical sports bar grub.

We walk quite a bit, often in the park, or over to Ponce City Market and beyond on the Beltline Trail, which is pretty cool.

There is a good (expensive) butcher shop en route that has some great steaks ($$$).  They also sell growlers which I've yet to sample.

There is a 0.52 mile running track in the park I try and do when weather allows (rain today of course).  I am just back from our gym, which is serviceable and rarely occupied.

The big thing is that the game time isn't set. If I knew it was a night game, I could drive up first thing Saturday morning and still get there in time for the game. 
My dad, brother, and I did this when we went to Wisconsin.  Camp Randall is almost exactly 500 miles from where we live.  We drove it on Saturday for a Saturday night game and let me tell you, that was a LONG day.  
It would probably be easier for you since I imagine that football traffic/parking is a bit easier in Reno than it is in Madison but still, that is a long day.

I will probably attend N. Illinois in Lincoln in September, Northwestern in Early October could be the sharkwater party, and the Wisconsin game in mid November.

I've promised to roadtrip to Minneapolis for the Husker - Gopher game in October.

And I might be coaxed into attending the Hawkeye game in Lincoln.

If any Buckeyes are coming to Lincoln, let me know.... I could show up.

That should be a good one.  The Huskers should have a pretty strong shot at ending the 4-game skid against the Hawks.
Wisconsin's still the measuring stick though.  I have a hunch that's gonna be a doozy this year.

Many folks overlook Northwestern in the west.  the Cats have taken 3 of the last 4 from the Huskers.  3 of the last 4 decided by a TD or less

I always enjoy the contests with the Cats and expect another good game in Lincoln this season.

Hopefully I will attend a game in Evanston soon

Eh, Northwestern is never a real threat to win the West, be serious.

Planning on USC season & home opener Vs Fresno State. After that it’s unclear. Hoping for an Arizona and another Auburn home game.

I know right? That would be like Mizzou winning the SEC East. Never gonna happen. Serious.

Will be at all the Gopher home games. 

Looking at the schedule, the only roadie in the bunch that interests me is @Rutgers on October 19. Otherwise, it's Fresno, Purdue, Iowa, and Northwestern. 

As for the bar in Atlanta, I haven't a clue which place we ended up. Time and Smirnoff have rendered exact details of the site to the ages. However, that sounds like a possible place.

YOU are the one who found it for us. Damn. I was hoping you could corroborate. Anyway, we should do it again soon. We'll have to find @MikeDeTiger and a screaming banshee to make it complete.
