watching the TCU game in Paris, France. Any suggestions?

I take it your private jet to fly back and forth is being serviced.

or firstrowsports.eu

i dont know wade, the french are arse holes

Make sure you wear a GEAUX TIGERS shirt.

Hmm, going to be tough. I think your best bet might be go somewhere where you can stream it for free using someones wifi..whether that be your apartment, hotel or a bar.

I suggest and Irish or English Pub...reason being, their native language is English as well so it will be easier to communicate and speak freely about your intentions.

Alot of bars will give you their wifi code if you ask...bring your iPad or phone and stream it from there, but I would make sure you are buying beer/food, etc the whole time.

There is a really cool Irish Pub near the Louvre that I can't recall the name right now....give me a minute and let me search my wifes facebook for some photos

You've done it now!

Found it...it was called Pub O'Malley, 6 Bis rue Quatre Septembre

When we arrived I saw a sign that said free wi-fi and the bartender gave me a business card and the code was on the back. One bartender was from England, but he got off about an hour after we arrived. The next one was from Ireland but both were super cool.

They both ended up giving us a few rounds of shots and beers, telling us how Americans tip wayy too much and they spend alot of time arguing about Englad vs Ireland. Prices were really reasonable too.

You can call them before hand and ask if it's okay if you stream and watch the game there and I 'm sure they won't have a problem with it.

ETA....the more I think about it, it's going to be tough to find a spot other than your hotel or apartment. The game is what 7 pm CST and Paris is 7 hours ahead...it won't even start until 2 am....I left the info about O'Malley as an FYI

Thanks for the suggestions, even the unhelpful ones....

This is my biggest concern, I don't think it'll be on anywhere at that hour. Is streaming it (I have an iphone) really the best choice? If so which page? I heard watchESPN doesn't work overseas.......

I don't know why it wouldn't, although I am not the most savy internet person on earth. I would think as long as you went to the correct page and had wi-fi, it should be okay (and free to stream). Make sure you are using a wi-fi signal or you'll come home to a ridiculous data charge.

We turned off everything on our phones except the ability to stream when on wi-fi.

If you wanted to watch it at a bar (that will be open to 6 am or later), I think your best bet might be to call places around the latin quarter. You better make sure you have someone calling that can speak and understand French though.

Last I heard ESPN only worked over connections that were provided by companies they had deals with. I.E. comcast, charter, cox...

Don't think those exist in France, but I believe you can login with your ISP account remotely and view streaming video that way, as I've done this with my phone.

I think Justin has a summer home in France too..
