olivier in france

No don t know the place it looks like it s new but a bar that choose nyg- skins today is highly suspect!

Hi guys, i hope you're all doing well, even those who seem to not make the difference between german (they are the one with shaving issues) and french girls! For bars in France, well the only Bills bar i know is my home (where Bills fans are always welcome) but the Basque Country is not on the usual beaten track of the american tourists... so if you're, like all the others, in damned Paris (you want rude frenchmen , you'll be served!), the best bar for american sports is the Moosehead in the Latin Quarter. Have a great end of the year guys! (PS: If some of you plan to cross the Pond for the Penn State game in Dublin next fall contact me!)

I m really impressed by your answers. Funny and passionate, you remind me once again, what makes the bills unique are their town and their fans.

on my blog i've written an article about the music city mistake... http://elitefoot.blogspot.fr/2012/09/quand-un-defenseur-veillait-sur-le-qb.html

People who care for the NFL keep an eye on college of course and i know quite a few europeans that are much more college football fans than nfl fans. . All tickets have been sold and frankly i've never been to an NFL game in Wembley since they do it (the games they propose suck and well from what i've heard the atmosphere is dull ) but i'd have never missed that game in Dublin! The atmosphere in Dublin will be crazy and there's some big gaelic football finals the next day so it looks like the whole city will be in party mode!

you don't need car rental Eryn, just two cab rides from and to the airport! and if you don't find any hotel room i can help you! all you need now is a plane ticket!

The Darwin Award 2012 winners.

I have three available tickets for the game at Dublin sept 1st. Please contact me if interested.

Thanks for your help guys but no news... Anyway i'm looking to interview some americain guys who have played football in France in the 60ies while in the military... if you know anybody please contact me

not lucky in my research it seems...

Hello, in a past topic Tombstone56 post about his brother playing for Verdun while in the Army in France in the 60ies. I've tried to contact him with a personnal message but it seems he does not use the mail system here as he has not readen yet my message after more than a month... Does anyone know how i can contact him ... i'd like to interview him or his brother for a story in my blog and in a new magazine we are launching...

So far i'm unlucky. Nothing at the Bills alumni, his college, facebook...

i did interview a player of the Chateauroux Air Base a couple of years ago. That could be fun to interview your brother... drop me a pm if that seems possible...

Hi guys!! As some of you may know, i have a football blog in France, quite well readen and one of the two or three serious football sites in France writing about what's going on in our leagues. For about 20 years all french football loving people think they know something for sure: the one and only frenchmen who ever started in the NFL has been Richard Tardits of the Cards and Patriots in the early 90ies. And then suddenly today i learn in fact the first frenchman who played in the NFL was a Bill: Charles Romes the CB of the 70ies and early 80ies who was born in Verdun France in 1954 (in a US Army base, from american parents, but well as all children born in France he's french!!) So now i dream to interview him for the blog!! Does anyone here know what he has become? how i could find him?

For the ones wondering... we have won our first game 23-9 Sunday at Aix en Provence with a young french QB! As our canadian was just here for less than 10 days, it seemed better to start our french backup who knew our system a lot better and he threw 3 Tds! The canadian did play at RB. Now we have a qb controversy! LOL details at Elitefoot.blogspot.com

elitefoot.blogspot.com is my site and frankly one of the best to follow french football... but it's in french! i know quite a little about mcgill! In fact last year we had a qb and a Rb both from there. MA Sinotte who was our QB last year has been elected the best foreigner of the league . He has most receiver records in quebec collegiate football but played QB for us (he was qb in HS) . he's now mc gill's receivers coach and has helped us recruit Mikelberg who will be our qB this year and has the same football resume HS QB who was WR in college je connais pas le calendrier par coeur mais va voir sur FFFA.org ou sur mon site elitefoot.blogspot.com, tu trouveras ça! Le stade des Dauphins est route de Grenoble mais je sais plus son nom, vérifie sur leur site internet.... Les Dauphins de Nice ont une bien meilleure équipe cette année avec un excellent duo QB WR de Laverne university. Je ne serai pas du voyage à Nice (je suis un membre "déporté" de l'équipe au pays basque! lol)

QB found. like last year we'll have a McGill University QB, hoping it will work as well as last year!

we're trying about everything. The thing with young NCAA qbs is that the senior class is still studying and that last year's class has usually yet found something to do so late in the year... but i'm sure we'll find someone soon!

no if that was the case i'd be the QB of the team!!

i'll contact Flutie first!!

A few things i had forgotten: This is a 10 games regular season league with trips planned in Nice, Aix en Provence, Thonon les Bains, Amiens and Paris. The team will play additionnal games in the european cup called the EFAF Cup with a trip planned in Switzerland for the first round.

who?

Hi Guys! Our first division team here in France is looking urgently for a quarterback. Our canadian QB has been fired this week as he coud not get along with the coach. Problem is the season starts in two weeks! So we are looking for someone who could be available ASAP and till mid june and the end of our season. The team will pay for the travels, expenses, will provide a flat and give the QB a little extra money. It can be a great experience for a young american who can discover France and Europe, play football at a decent level (something like NCAA D3)... The team is based in Grenoble in the French Alps. If you know someone who could be interested, the guy should have experience as a starter with a team at least at a NCAA D2-D3 level. Contact me at edenfrog@hotmail.com

At least do it in december hoping for snow to have a "blue turf of Boise state" effect on the visiting team!!
