You know that Jocks and Jills is in bankruptcy because of a $2m sexual harassment verdict, and that the midtown location is closed, right?

Would be interested in another location though.

OMG- No I have not been there since last season. Ok,Do you think we could get the main room at Frankie's- it is affiliated with Jock and Jills but I am pretty sure it is open. It is off Roswell road near Glenridge Drive. If I knew I had enough people I would give them a call. Where is the alumni association going now? They were going to midtown location.

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I've no idea about the alumni association, but I was sorry to see that location go. It was walking distance from my place. There is a TacoMac opening just a block or so south, on Peachtree. Maybe the alums will go there?

[VolDad]

I would love to but I will be at the game.

Locations and contacts are listed here:

The University of Tennessee National Alumni Association

I've been a regular at Fado Irish Pub in Buckhead for over a dozen years now. (Even after the move.) The GM was asking me the other night where UT fans go to watch games; he'd like to be the bar for somebody this fall, and he thinks that Tennessee might be an untapped market. Was I right in telling him that I don't think there's any "official" Tennessee bar in the midtown/Buckhead area anymore?

(There'd be something a little strange about bringing that much orange into an Irish pub, though. The GM is from Belfast, though, so it would probably amuse him.)

Moes & Joes?

Really? They're not listed anywhere online that I can find, and I've never seen any signage or anything when I've been there. Definitely never been there on a gameday though.


EDIT: NM -- you mean for a viewing of the UCLA game. Duh. Moe's & Joe's is a cool spot.

It is definitely a cool spot, but I don't know if I would want to hang there for a game. I don't recall the TV situation being that great.

The new Fabo is awesome, I could be down for that.

Also I got an email from the UT Alumni about Georgia car tags and they only need a couple hundred more people to apply for the plates in order for Ga to issue them.

Where in Fado's would a big group watch I remember lots of HD TVs but no main viewing room? I was not looking though when I was there. UT used to go to Famous in the Emory area when I was in school at Emory. They use projection screens for the big ones though as does Jeffrey's in Alpharetts not quite as cool as a giant HD TV.

There's no main viewing room, but they have a bunch of big HDTVs hanging all over the place. I haven't been in there for one of the big football matches since the new location opened, but since showing Euro sports is such a big part of their weekend business, I'd be astonished if they didn't have some kind of an enormous projection screen that snakes down from someplace.

No idea whether the GM will go through with it, but he's mentioned it to me a couple of times in the last couple of weeks. He apparently went to the Jabar Gaffney game up in Neyland shortly after coming to the US, and has had a bit of a soft spot for us ever since.

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Off topic, but for anyone in Nashville the former Box Seat on Bandywood is supposed to be open in August and it looks like it will be a good spot.

[Jewbaccah]

Rio Grande on peachtree. I spoke with a member of the Alumni organization and they already have an agreement with them. I have never been there so it will be new to me.

[Jewbaccah]

correction I believe they are technically on Roswell now right before the road turns into peachtree
