It's kinda like the Rome, Italy trip, but not as publicized, and I don't believe they're practicing in France either.

they are learning how to make baquettes, choose a wine that pairs well with any given dish, reading Camus, Sartre, Rimbaud, Proust, Flaubert, Voltaire, and Balzac, and sitting in coffee shops in Montparnasse and writing poetry, while drinking Pernod and Absinthe.

After this experience, we'll be unbeatable on the foot ball field.

"Ballsack" is the English spelling of that philosopher's name...


Also, if by "choose a wine that pairs well with any given dish" means like one single universal wine, like a universal blood donor...there is no such thing...

With holiday entertaining upon us, there?s no better time to talk about pairing wine with food. And the question we get from everyone is ?What wine goes with everything??

Well, there?s no one right answer to this question. Because the goal is to make food and wine both taste better when consumed together, your pairing depends on what you?re eating, how it?s prepared, and of course what kind of wine you like to drink. But while there?s no exact science to the art of food and wine pairing, there are some simple rules you can follow to help you pick out the right wine for whatever meal you?re having...

apparently you've never heard "What's the word? Thunderbird. How's it sold? Good and cold." That shit goes with everything.
 
Cool, but I'll stick with my Mickey's 40 ouncers.

That shit is urban enough for me.

grenades!

First buzz I ever caught was on most of a 40oz of Mickey's at age 14 - my older brother picked it out for me. It was also my first concert - Clapton at Pine Knob with him and a few of his friends. He said I had to drink too so in case we got in a big fight in the future, I couldn't rat him out for underage drinking.
 
No practices, educational trip, some players not there

They met some 200 french football players of all ages (read simething yesterday)

I love seeing all the posts on Twitter of pictures on the trip. Sam Webb is there with his family posting pics of the Eiffel Tower and Angelic Chengelis is posting pics of French desserts lol
 
Agree. And the recent Amazon series that showed last summer’s trip to Italy makes me hope the team gets to do something like this every year.


I love it.
 
Yep, was going through the twitter posts. Loved the sights and scenes from Paris. Reminded me of our honeymoon. Wife asked me if I wanted to go back...
 
Chengekus spent Italy trip tasting gelato

That's not terrible way to do it. In touristy areas, if you get a small serving and walk with it, you will reach another gelato shop just as you finish.
 
I just didn't know they used it for trips to Europe.

Off the top of my head, last year the football team went to Italy...after the Fab Fives first season, the basketball team went to Europe...yeah, they use money for trips to Europe.

EDIT:

The Lady Spartans of basketball went to Europe a couple of years ago.
