Army vs UTSA football watch party – Southside

We had 17 people show up to watch Army’s win over a Citadel team that refused to go way. A good win but Army will have to get better if we are to win five of the next six games we are favored to win according to ESPN.

This week Army takes on the University of Texas. No, not the Long Horn variety, the San Antonio Roadrunner variety.

The Southside Gathering will once again rally together for the watch party in accordance with the following particulars:

What: Army travels to San Antonia with a predicted 66% chance of victory (down 14% after our performance against the Citadel)
When: Saturday, 17 October, starting promptly at 1330 hrs
Where: T-Knots Sports Bar and Grill, Peachtree City, GA

Wardrobe challenge this week: Any hat with yearling, cow, and/or first class brass affixed

Citadel vs Army Football Watch party

Army dropped 54 on ABL Christian last week and we had 15 people show up to sing multiple renditions of “On Brave Ole Army Team”.

This week the Black Knights host the Citadel. ESPN gives Army only a 98% chance of being victorious. So we need to show up and cheer Army West Point to ensure the 2% never happens. The watch party is on given the following particulars:

What: Army vs Citadel watch party
When: Saturday, 10 Oct, starting promptly at 1330 hrs
Where: Y-Knots Sports Bar and Grill, Peachtree City, Ga…upstairs
Why: Covid-19 sucks but Army football does not

This weeks wardrobe challenge is to wear your favorite “Boonie” hat.

Army vs. Bearcats Southside football watch party

Salutations and other such pleasantries,
It has been two weeks since our last Southside Gathering of 15 people came to watch Army march up and down the fabled gridiron.  The time has drawn nigh to watch a top 25 show down between the Black Knights and the Cincinnati  Bearcats.  Here are the particulars:
WHO:  You and everyone you know
WHAT:  Army football watch party
WHEN:  Saturday, 26 Sept, starting promptly at 1530 hrs
WHERE: Y-Knots Sports Bar and Grill, Peachtree City, GA
GA Tech plays at 1200 and the GA Bulldogs play at 1600, so we will most likely be downstairs.
The good news is the farmers market we have disbanded so parking will be plentiful.
See ya Saturday and wear your favorite hat.

Army vs. Middle Tennessee State watch party – Southside

Are you ready for some football?,
We had eight people show up for the August dine out…But let us get to the really important point.  Army plays Middle Tennessee State this Saturday  and the Southside will gather to root the Black Knights to a storied victory.  ESPN has given Army West Point an 82% chance for victory.  Here are the particulars:
Who:  You and all who knows you
What:  MTSU vs Army on the gridiron at West Point
When:  1:30 pm Saturday 5 September
Where:  Y-Knots Sports Bar and Grill, Peachtree City, GA; not sure if we will be upstairs on downstairs so just show up and look for people with Army gear on.
The stadium is not allowing “fans” but the Corps will be in attendance.  I guess the 12th man is a part of the team.
See you Saturday,
