French Interview

HAHA... first words I can think of to describe it. Matt and I went over to the Parisian newspaper for an interview and it was a pretty interesting experience. First we rolled in and said hi to everyone, thankfully coach was there to help translate because if not then I think we'd just be lost. We went outside to pose for a photo for the article. The photographer set it up perfectly. He shot from the ground and with me closest to the camera, basically resulting in what appears to be me an 8 foot tall tackle, coach a small child in the middle, and Matt looks like a normal QB. (For the record though, Matt's a pretty big guy for a QB... he could play LB and it'll be good to see a QB that can hit)

So then we sit down and try and talk to the reporter and answer all his questions. What would normally be a 3o min interview lasts around a couple of hours. We talk about our experiences here and back in the states. What it's like going from football being the top sport, to one at the bottom. About France, our opinions. Pretty much just about anything. I think the reporter started just chatting after a while and got intrigued with College football. But I couldn't really tell you because everything I said then Coach translated and vice versa. So I have no clue what exactly the guy heard, but we'll see when the paper comes out. Sometime while I'm back in the states.

Just thought I'd enlighten you on another eye opening experience. Oh and he asked if we found any French girls yet. We said no and it sounded like he's going to write a personal ad with in the article. That could be weird. Anyways I'll post the article for you when it comes out.
