1. Atlanta was unprepared - at least near the stadium. that seems unforgiveable.

2. But Atlanta downtown just sucks - always has. They need to move the stadium up near baseball park but that is bad for other reasons - social, political, economical...

3. ND Alum was unprepared. Seems more forgivable with a week to prepare. I wonder if OSU alum had same problems?

4. The Atlanta Club is pretty large (1,000+) Did the AA get them involved? Seems like there would be locals in the Club who could leverage some relationships.
