Bucco Bruce back at One Buc Place


Bucs players, Barrett Ruud, Earnest Graham, Antonio Bryant and Gaines Adams were trotted out this past week with the Bucs front office official announcement that the Bucs will take the field wearing retro-creamsicle unis later this season. I'm about as old school a Bucs fan as you can get, and I have to say, I never wanted to see these uniforms worn by the Buccaneers ever again.

The Bucs front office has decided that the Orange wave will hit the field on November 8th versus the Green Bay Packers at home. Another throwback to the old Black and Blue division and a battle of the Bays. However, this game is after the Buccos have faced every team in the NFC East, Carolina and versus the Patriots in London as a "home game".

Lifelong Bucs fans by this point in the season will most likely have flashbacks to the Leeman Bennett and Sam Wyche days by November 8th. 2 wins and 7 loses is reasonable going into the Packer game, and with the season ticket situation in the toilet with the Bucs, longtime Bucs fans attending the game might have flashbacks to games in Tampa Stadium where the Packer fans outnumbered the Bucs fans.

5-11 is a realistic number for the upcoming season with Junior at the helm for the Bucs. The headcoach and GM have no idea what they are doing and they are getting ready to cast this team back to the days of the 1980's. No wonder no one wants to buy tickets to watch this upcoming trainwreck.
