Attention all Army and Navy football fans as well as all who love American Football!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in previous years, the West Point Society of Paris invites all Army \u2013 Navy Game enthusiasts from all U.S. service academies to assemble for “The Game.”   We’ll meet on the 9th of December at “The Moose” bar in Paris, 6th Arrondissement https:\/\/www.mooseparis.com\/fr\/<\/a> to root for the Brave Old Army Team (or even for our martial maritime brethren from that school on the banks of the Severn in Maryland, if you are so inclined).  It would even be nice to have the odd stray Zoomie in the mix as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the Army faithful in attendance are expected to wear or bring some type of  “Go Army-Beat Navy” clothing or paraphernalia.  Come on –  there’s got to be at least an old grey sweater or some interesting artifact in your “professional archives.”   For the West Point Old Grads, maybe there’s even a bit of your cadet uniform issue that still more or less fits like it used to!  Wear it if you dare!  We anticipate a good showing from the USMA cadets who have been in France this semester and are traveling back to the Academy on Sunday.  It’ll be great to have them with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navy fans are most welcome!  The street address for the Moose pub is 16 Rue des Quatre-Vents, 75006 Paris<\/a>.   But, I must warn you:  “The Moose” pub is quite a distance from Annapolis and could potentially involve a substantial land navigational challenge to some of our colleagues from the military nautical cohort.  After all, we understand that you are used to traveling in straight lines across the world’s oceans and seas and may find the streets of the 6th Arrondissement quite different.  Feel free to use the GPS program of your choice or print out the map available on “The Moose” pub site to help guide your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned, we heartily welcome our maritime brethren, even if we all know that Army will come out on top in the end.  The West Point grads, cadets, and supporters will be easily identified by their classic and distinctive Black\/Gold\/Grey themed attire.   Therefore we do kindly ask that all the former Midshipmen, Admirals, and all in between please identify themselves with some distinctive type of jaunty nautical-themed attire….maybe a Popeye style bibbed shirt or one of those little round white hats….something like that.  And, please be financially prepared as we will expect a generous round of adult beverages at the end to celebrate the West Point victory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game time is at 2100. (I don’t know how many Bells that is on a ship, but I’m sure the Navy guys\/gals can figure that out).  Please come to the pub early if you can.  The seating in the pub is not reserved and is driven by customer numbers.  Help stake out some tables and order generously from the bar and food menu.   This establishment even offers that pinnacle of Canadian cuisine –  “poutine.”  I guess French fries with gravy served in a Canadian pub in Paris can count as “international cuisine.”  Our venue reconnaissance confirms that the pub proprietor is especially fond of thirsty and hungry patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we can\u2019t make a 100% guarantee that “The Moose” will be able to project the\u00a0game\u00a0on all\u00a0their screens, in all previous years they\u2019ve been able to take care of us very well while they welcomed those ever-mounting bar tabs that inevitably accompany a spirited group of real fans of American college football.\u00a0 A good crowd of supporters will help tilt the pub’s screen\u00a0distribution in our favor.\u00a0 The competition for screens from other programs in the bar could include some of those other somewhat bizarre sporting events such as darts, cricket, that silly kind of “football” where they don’t let you use your hands, curling, or other miscellaneous assorted weird stuff like that.\u00a0 Customer numbers will carry the day for all of us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
