Many fans have emailed to ask where IU fans may be getting together this

weekend, where to pick up tickets, when is IU's open practice, etc.

Well a number of things are going on, some of which are finalized and some

are work-in-process. So bookmark this page as I will be updating in

throughout the week.

What we do know about is a formal IU Alumni Association gathering on Friday

night organized by the IU AA Club of Atlanta and a more independent gathering of

IU fans planned for Saturday from 10 am till 3 pm.Additional gatherings are in the works, including finding a place to watch

the game for those who do not have tickets. That will be posted here soon

after it is finalized.

Here is what is going on in Atlanta:

Another great place to watch the game is Barnacles. Barnacles tailors to IU

fans and is located just north of Atlanta at 6365 Peachtree Industrial Blvd (at

Tilly Mill Road). Phone number is 770-451-6778.

If Indiana fans want to see one of the best Indiana shrines in the country,

check out The Jackson Lake Restaurant. It is a bit of a drive from Atlanta

but well worth the trip. It is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday (Sunday

maybe if a group wanted to come out ) from 2pm till 8 or 9. Phone number

is 770-786-8911.

Indiana is putting up a big screen in Assembly Hall for fans to watch the

game. Officials are making arrangements for participation by university

cheerleaders and a pep band from the School of Music. Parking will be

free. Those attending should use the lots on the south and west sides of

Assembly Hall. The south doors to Assembly Hall will open at 4:30 p.m. for

all Hoosier fans interested in watching the game. Concession stands will have

food and soft drinks for sale, and IU merchandise will be for sale to help those

attending get in the spirit of the occasion.
