BUCS FALL SHORT 10/2/00 Chalk up another blunder to our special teams. More specifically the punt team. It started out just the way we wanted. 7 points on the board in the first quarter. But after that initial score it seemed like we just fell apart. Stephen Davis - granted he is a very talented runner - ran through about four tackles for a 55 yard touchdown. The defense would continue to miss tackles for the rest of the game. Derrick Brooks was the only player that I saw actually make tackles. He had an awesome game. John Lynch made his share of bone crunching hits as well. The defense did show up at the end of the game though. They made a couple of stops in the red-zone and knocked them out of field goal range a few times. But mistakes cost us the big "W". Offensively we couldn't
get anything going until 2:00 left in the game. Les was calling a very
conservative game and I truly believe that this team needs more spark. In the
4th quarter Shaun King looked over to the sideline and pointed to himself
asking, "Do you want me to call my own plays?". Well what happened was
great. The team actually made a touchdown. Granted is was rather lucky with
Shaun fumbling the ball - picking it up - and hitting Reidel Anthony for 6
points. Their next drive Overtime. Defense stops them dead in their tracks and the offense returns to it's ho-hum attack. Deion runs the punt return to our 5 yard line. Defense stops them 3 times and Husted kicks it in for the win. That sucks. Obviously we have to answer some questions about the offense. THEY'RE BACK!!! 09/24/00 Finally. The Bucs of old are showing up. All of you that just stepped aboard the bandwagon can now exit - stage left even. Once
again we find ourselves with a lack of offense. Oh yeah, Keyshawn has helped Now I just cringe on STUPID play calling! Oh yeah, and you just might be able to jinx the MOJO! (see below)

just have to love that little guy.
tremendously. What did he have? Let me see......uh, oh yeah it was that
brilliant shuffle pass for a whopping 1, yes 1 yard. WOOOHOOOO! I also love the
trotting of Randall McDaniel out on the field for our NEW Rhino back setup. That
helped seal our fate yesterday as Fumblina....I mean Alstott once again cost us
the game. What in the hell is wrong with attempting to score when there is 2:00
left to play and you are ahead by 4. If all you are going to do is let the clock
run out, take a knee for Pete's sake. I can't remember anyone fumbling taking a
knee. Oh well, it is only a game. I feel pretty good not having to cringe every
time someone asked who my favorite team was.
