My Fanatical Friends I must apologize, for taking so much time producing my 30 minutes television show, which will air this Sunday Sept 5, 2010 @ 2:00 pm on NBC/WFLA News Channel 8. This special was very hard to produce with all the elements I wanted in the 30 min program…

The emphasis for the 3rd Bucified & OLE IS Alive special will be placed on the students with diverse backgrounds.  It will illustrate how they overcame their toughest challenges in life to graduate from high school.  The entire special will showcase their success with the hope that they can inspire other Dream Seeking Students in our community who need to see and hear what is possible,  so that they might do the same in 2011 and beyond.  These wonderful young men and women have had tough challenges to overcome to win the Bucified award.  The standards are high for our future Bucified leaders. Last year, the Bucified & Ole is Alive 2009 program was, according to Nielsen,  was rated number two in terms of viewership in it time slot.  This year we expect the viewership to make us number one.

Once again we congratulate the Bucified Bert’s awards recipients and they are: Middleton High School’s Vasty Paul, Jerlna T. Jackson and Elisse Jean-Pierre of Hillsborough High School and Jaclyn Svetlena Stephens from Brandon High and I am happy to say that they are all in collage and I am so happy….

The Bucified & OLE Is Alive Television Special will be hosted by WFLA –TV Morning News Anchor Rod Carter and will also feature new music produced at Ron Rose Studios (http://ronroseproductions.com/) which will feature BK Jackson and the Bucified Dream Seeker Student performers.  The song was written to reinforce the BUCIFIED Ideology of safety and awareness through the acronym BUCIFIED.  Many students in the Tampa Bay area teamed up with Bucified Bert to make it happen.  Living legend and retired teacher Dorothy C. York will be honored by giving a Book Scholarship to one this years Dream Seeker “OLE Is Alive” recipients.  In addition, expect to see some famous people like Mike Alstott, Derrick Brooks, Deion Sanders, Mark Lunsford and a few more surprise guests.  The all new “Bucified Bert” 2010 costume will also be unveiled.  Please take a moment to see the trailer we put together on YouTube.

The “OLE is Alive” Dream Seeker Scholarship was developed in 2006 by Albert Owens in honor of his late mother, Emma Lee, who was and still is, a great inspiration to him. That is why the scholarships are handed out near Mother’s Day.  OLE is an acronym for Operation Legacy Emma Lee.  Since the start of the program in 2006, 12 students have been selected to receive scholarships of $1,000 to use toward their higher education.  They are selected based on their academic performance, community service, and raising above negative peer pressure.

Albert was named the 2009 Volunteer of the Year, by the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce. Despite hard economic times, Albert managed to continue the program this year. “Failure is not an option,” he says. “I have to honor my mother.” Through his alter ego, an energetic and colorful Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan and mascot named “Bucified Bert,” Albert teaches important and useful humor with the acronym “BUCIFIED.” (Be Understanding Citizens Identifying Friendly Individuals Each Day).

The “OLE is Alive” Dream Seeker Scholarship is over seen by All Sports Community Service, a non-profit organization.

OK, my fanatical friends,  we, the Buccaneers, are on a roll, and I like it and I love it, I want some more of it in 2010!

It felt great to send a message to the entire league last Sunday when we beat the Saints. We marched in and came away with the Big Win!

I can’t wait for this last victory, so we that we can do what is necessary to keep the momentum going in 2010. The Bucs will make the right changes, and I will do my part in order to be ready for the new season. New Bucified Music,, new outfit, direction for my Dream Seeker Program - I am so ready!

I hope all are enjoying the holidays. I must say that the Saints Victory was really all I needed from Santa!

My family is in town from New York, and that made the 2009 holiday season so very special, and we are having a blast! The photo says a lot, meaning a picture is worth a thousand words. We were at the zoo - I really enjoyed talking to them about my mothers many visits to New York.

These are some of the folks who took care of Emma Lee the Legend when she would visit the Big Apple. Now I am doing what she would do if she was here: Pay the kind acts bestowed forward as New York visit our wonderful Tampa Bay area.

Now, back to football. The Bucs have turned the corner! Make no mistake, my fanatical friends: beating the Saints was not a fluke. What you saw Sunday is indicative what we be doing from now on. We are a great team, and I cant wait to show the Falcons that the team that they beat about three weeks ago want revenge.

My patience is thin, and I am excited to get this party started, because I see the BIG PAYBACK Sunday. This is what will put an exclamation point on the back-to-back victories.

The change has come for Tampa Bay. Get Ready for a three-peat, my fanatical friends. The Dirty Birds Cant Stop US! The New Year 2010 will come in with another Bucs win!

My Prediction: Dirty Birds 14,  Bucs 28.

 

---

Holiday greetings to you and I wish you a season filled with peace, love and happiness.

My fanatical friends,  I am so excited that we won the game and are showing signs that we will finish this teachable season on a high note.

Thank you, Santa, for the impeccable timing.  This is the first December victory in two years!!

No need for me to reiterate the details of the game because I predicted this type of victory. I said the Bucs would get 24 points and that is precisely what we got.  Also, I made you are aware of the fact that we are shifting gears, and getting ready for a super 2010 football season.

The defense was all over Seattle.  We sent a message to the entire league that in 2010 a change will come.  Not only for the Tampa Bay Bucs, but also the Bucified Bert Dream Seeker Program.  Because our future is bright, my fanatical friends, start enthusiastically enjoying the holidays. Be safe and Bucified.  Do not forget to BUC-kle-up!!  Now I have to get my house in order because ‘tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la laaaaa!!!

Family and Friends are very important during the holidays. I need you to do me a favor, my fanatical friends: please have good, clean, Bucified fun. Use your brain.  What I mean is stay focused, oriented and alert throughout the holidays so when we get through 2009 your vision will still be alive.  No matter what, don’t let anyone take your vision, because you have to see your way to achieving your dream or getting closer to it in the New Year, 2010.  My actions must not jeopardize my mission for my mother. Operation legacy Emma-Lee must go on!  I have family coming in from New York.  They were very nice to my mother every time she visited New York.  On behalf of my mother, I will return the favor, because OLE IS TRULY ALIVE!

Now back to the Bucs, my fanatical friends. I know you were not shocked about the win last week. Josh Freeman looked very good, just like I said.  The coaches were calling plays to his strong area and it worked so well.  The Seahawks QB, looked like a rookie, thanks to our defense,  The Dallas Cowboys Beat the Saints last week. Now I need you to follow me. The Cowboys barely beat the Bucs, right? If Raheem would have been calling this defensive scheme back when we played Dallas we would have beat the Cowboys!  This is Josh Freeman’s nd time against the Saints and he wants revenge.  I expect a Big Payback Sunday!!!

My Prediction: Saints 17, Bucs 21  

This blog was edited by Rosa Olavarria, part of my family from New York,  because Operation Legacy Emma-Lee is alive in 2009!!!

Bucified Fan and Partner Joshua Newhouse, on Game Day a “ Ray JAY 12-13-09

This week’s Bucified Blog is edited by the 6th Grade Crew of Dowdell Middle Magnet School’s DTV Morning Show….

My fanatical friends, before I explain why I was so far off with my prediction last week against the Jets, I let me talk about my reason for being Bucified. I really enjoy keeping my mothers legacy alive. In my mind daily is a tug-a-war going on between good thoughts and bad thoughts,  because of my love for being a positive role model to the students who are fans of the character Bucified Bert, my actions in all situations must reflect that the positive thoughts are winning the tug-a-war that goes on in my head. In me, you see the people skills inherited from my mother, combined with knowledge gained working for a media company that deals in mass communication. My mother used to say, “Talk the talk and walk the walk”. The reward is the students who look up to Bucified, that are DREAM SEEKERS! I can help them be all they are trying to be in life. The Dream Seeker Program will make a lot of students happy, I want to be SANTA for holidays, cause OLE IS ALIVE in 2009 and we want to finish off this great year on a super high note for my mother Emma- Lee The Legend!!!

Now about the Bucs, Jets game I really am a little superstitious. The Jets won but this is truly how I feel, I get “Fanatical to be Phenomenal” in the community. I try hard to keep the two missions apart. My last blog was edited by students I have been working with, not knowing that their teacher Mr. Newhouse was a Jets Fan!  We teamed up years ago, and worked with thousands of students, and we will continue our partnership in 2010. I said all that, to say it was my fault that the Bucs lost, because I truly believe that that teacher Mr. Newhouse who was at the game gave us bad luck, because we played too flat!

Now that we are playing the Seattle Seahawks, it makes sense to use the same teacher.  I know he will back us up this week, and the rest of the season my fanatical friends.  I am so scared to use another one of my schools for fear of history repeating itself! Seattle is not that good, our Bucs head coach Raheem, has an idea of how to play to game plan for Josh “# 5” Freeman’s strong areas; Look for the Bucs to clip the Seahawks wings Sunday at 1:00pm…

My Prediction Seahawks 14 Bucs 24    

Response by Mr. Newhouse: “Mr. Bucified Bert came to see me at the Bucs-Jets game last week despite the fact that it was a losing effort. I thought that showed a lot of class, whereas he could have just “forgotten” where I was sitting. As always he handled himself with dignity and even insisted on a picture with this humble librarian. As a long-time fan of the Jets I have seen my share of rough spots with the team, but I think Tampa Bay’s defense is showing the glimmer of hope that this will not be a long-term drought by Bucified’s Bucs! Thanks sir, for all of your efforts on behalf of students across the Tampa Bay area and for being a classy person in the face of life’s adversity.”

Happy 80th Birthday Living legend Mrs. “Dorothy C. York, ” From The Legacy of Emma Lee. “OLE IS ALIVE! “

Fanatical Fans, This Week’s Bucified Blog was edited by Dowdell’s Critical Thinking in Media class:

This is the season to be jolly and I am getting there in spite of the season our Buccaneers are having.  Yes, my team only has one victory, from a fanatical perspective that is not good, but because I understand what is going on with our Buccaneers, I can accept the growing pains. My fanatical friends, it’s clearly a rebuilding year for our Bucs, but because Josh Freeman threw the 5 interceptions, that is not very normal. We will not beat ourselves up this coming Sunday.  Josh really is getting better every week.  I would be lying if I said that having a losing football season like this did not bother me.  But I am Bucified enough to see the big picture.  There are so many good college teams out there, and we will have Great Draft picks in 2010. That is huge considering we barely lost against some great teams…

Now let me talk about the photo above:  Recently I was invited to a “classy” affair for a “classy” lady. It was her 80th birthday. I gave her a mini Buccaneers’ helmet. Autographed by a classy football player, Hall of Famer Lee Roy Selmon, this was a great moment for my mission to aid this author/poet/retired English educator because 20 minutes after we took the photo, Lee Roy Selmon, came up and took some pictures with us, and he made this phenomenal legend Dorothy C. York’s birthday very special. It is impressive that Emma-Lee, the legend’s legacy stays alive! We received a heavy dose of endorphins, because now we are working with the family of this wonderful mother to have a profound impact on the Bucified Dream Seeker program in 2010.
Now let’s talk football:  You know our Buccaneers have not won a game in December in two years.  My fanatical friends look for that to change this Sunday against the Jets. Here is the reason why:  Josh Freeman is a fast learner and when you make all the mistakes he made last week throwing five interceptions you get pumped to redeem yourself. This is a home game, we the fans will give him the attention he deserves, and for me, no more going to the game in the throw- back outfit, because it only worked the one game when Lee Roy was being honored. This Sunday I will be totally Bucified. So bring it on Jets.

My prediction: Jets 17 and the Bucified BUCS 30

P.S. The advisor of the students who edited this piece likes the Bucs on an ordinary week, but being a former Long Islander, he will be at the game this Sunday rooting for his Jets. He wanted to point out that he appreciates the honor of working with Bucified as an educator and a colleague in the quest to help our students.

Bucified Bert gets help from up high for Our Bucs!!

My Fanatical Friends, before I explain what happened against the New Orleans Saints, I want wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! My Fanatical Friends, I also have to thank all of the educators and students from the local elementary to high schools for giving me a chance to do what I really love doing: utilizing my mother’s legacy to impact our community. By sharing my talents and expertise in support of education in a positive way, I felt very welcomed at the many schools that requested the Bucified character during the Great American Teach-In. The time and effort expended is what I enjoy doing, and as always, I do in honor of my dear mother, Emma-Lee the Legend!

Now let me explain the loss to the Saints. When we went down the field and scored the first touchdown, the game was going as expected. Mind you, we just stopped that so called “great team” and Mr. Brees. At the start of the game, our Bucs looked really good! However, It is in our best interest to use this division game to get ready for December, next time we play the Saints. Not to mention, we will be plying this team two times a year, so let Josh Freeman develop. 

The Saints’ fans were very rude, and I am seriously thinking about going to their house in December in order to show them how a Bucified Fan acts after a win. I really don’t see them beating us the next time. Josh is coming around, and he will learn from the mistakes he made after the Bucs called off the dogs to train. I feel like Josh Freeman really would like to show this division that he deserved to be the Buccaneers first round draft pick. He catches on quickly, and he is eager to get back on the field and show how much knowledge he gained from playing the Saints.

I want to throw this out there: does anyone have any ideas about how my next Bucified outfit should look?  I am open to your input. My Fanatical Friends, the throwback game led me to seriously consider a change for the upcoming (and presumably great!) 2010 Bucs’ season. I think I will need two outfits: (1) Pewter and (1) Orange. Just thought I would let you all know what is on my mind. You already know I am working on new music for 2010!

Now this Sunday we go to Atlanta, home of the “Dirty Birds.” This is another one of those division games. In my opinion, the Falcons are not as good as the Saints. Also, Josh looked great up until the last few minutes of the first half against New Orleans. In honor of my mother’s legacy, I will be doing my part to help as many families as possible to enjoy this Thanksgiving. Josh too has a heart, and he knows it will be good to give us another win for this Thanksgiving. Furthermore, whether it is a turkey or a Falcon, a bird is a bird, so… Check out the photo above,  We now have help from up high, So Lets Go Bucs!!!

My Prediction Atlanta 17 Buccaneers 21

Bucified In the Throw Back Car, on Game Day 11-08 09!

Okay, My Fanatical Friends, How about them Bucs?? This was a great win, mainly because we were about a 10 point underdog.

“Why were the experts so WRONG ?”  I’m glad you asked.

The original crow eaters (and it’s obvious that they are hungry) are back to their old ways of not understanding the Bucs. However, now they will be eating crow the rest of the season.

Logically speaking, the Bucs can still make the playoffs. We know it isn’t how you start, but how you play in November and December!

Our Bucs beat the pants off the Green Cheese. Oh my God, they were crying like babies! Like I said in my last blog, Josh Freeman

Is BUCIFIED READY! So ready, that he made history. No other first round draft QB for the Bucs has won the team’s first home opener. Everyone who does something

Good for the program I have in honor of my mother,  it seems like great things happen for that person, my Bucified Students went to a game because of

Josh Freeman… He also made # 63 Lee Roy so special.. So Go Josh Go!!!!!!

Now we will be getting more support for our team. Cause the fair weather fans we will start to see: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are for REAL!!

I want Wonder Woman and Her Crew, to know that it’s a big joke to think that the Buccaneers are going to Los Angeles, California like the Jaguars.

Keep in mind that the Bucs, back in the days when we were losing, did not have a blacked out game. But the Jaguars had (4) this year to date.

The reason I bring this up is because the writing is on the wall. The haters in Jacksonville are losing more than just a game. That city is losing its IDENTITY!

When the Team moves, let’s see what “Queen Sav-a-Kat” has to say then. Life is great for the Buccaneers now. We have not lost a game in 2 weeks, Thank God for the Throw Back Game!!

Now Miami Fish, (yeah, I said Miami “Fish”! They have not showed me enough to be a called the “Dolphins”), when we come down there, it will be just like the first time we beat them this year.  I know it was a preseason game, but they really tried to win it, and got BEAT UP!  We have not lost a game in 2 weeks and it feels good making an opponent’s fans cry. Besides, we have a quarterback who beat Green Bay, and they are a much better team than the Miami Fish. All I’ve got to say is: we are going to their House to hit them in the mouth and make them cry (just like the Packers were crying last week!) So let’s get it ON!!

We will Squish the FISH !!

My Prediction Dolphins 14 Bucs 28

Bucified, is very excited for # Bucs, QB # 5 Josh Freeman …

Green Bay:  This is Our 1st Throwback Game and the Time Has Changed!
 
Being Bucified for the kids during Halloween was great, and I needed the smiles from the kids to take on the 2nd half of this 2009 Football Season…
 
Josh Freeman really looked good, and mature in London, I know we lost, but I have seen a ray of hope, and I am going to stand by the Future.  I have to support our Buccaneers, even more now that rumors are that Jacksonville may be moving to Los Angeles, California.  I love saying the Tampa Bay Bucs, and cant imagine them leaving … The reason I say Josh is mature is: I waited three years to take many of my Bucified Dream Seeker Students to a Buccaneers Game, Josh Freeman made it happen on 9-27-2009; many other programs get the chance to go, thank God for # 5 for allowing my Dream to come True! he put the Bucified Bert Dream Seeker Program on the MAP!  You know I will be making some noise Sunday!!!!
 
We are transitioning to be one of the best teams in the National Football League. I apologize that I did not see this sooner, but I understand now where we are going. Oh yeah, I will eat some crow, but this much is a FIRST for me.  Now,  I understand how humiliating life has been for the professional loser (AKA) Wonder Woman and her crew, the HATERS.  I used the week off to get a grip on where our Bucs are going and now I see the light, so let me explain…
 
First, I want to say relax.  We are not an 0 and 7 team our record show , and we will NOT Go 0 and 16. Why you ask?  I `m glad you did… for the record we should have won 3 of the first 7 games in my book, now we have 9 more games to go and now we HAVE My Main Man JOSH FREEMAN as Quarter Back, I can give you a lot of reason but # 5 is the only reason you need, OH yeah, he is young, but he is Bucified!  Ready? I spoke to him and I was very impressed, because he is beyond his years, he is so mature and seasoned for his age, so get ready for a wonderful second half of the 2009 Buccaneers Football Season…I am so excited, because I want a win A GAME so bad, that I can hardly wait for the Green Bay Cheese Heads to come to the Raymond James Sunday at 1:00pm! 

Back to Josh # 5 Freeman… See Coach Raheem spent a year with him when he was in college.  They have been together this year since April, and now we are in November.  This means he has been with a phenomenal Coach being groomed for about 2 years now….You get it?    Fasten your seat belts and get ready for our first win coming Sunday!!  From the little time I have seen # 5 play, I see why Super Bowl MPV Doug Williams, said that this Quarterback is a GUN Slinger…I am embracing the changing of the guards, and don’t forget the time changed for everyone last Sunday at 2AM. For everyone….so Green Bay, I have 5 reasons why you will lose:  (1) This is a Throwback Game (2) We are honoring the Great Superb Lee Roy Selman # 63,  and 3,4,anf # 5 Josh Freeman is all of the rest of the reasons.

So Let’s Go Bucs! Bring on the Cheese Please…
 
 
My Prediction Green Bay 14 Tampa Bay 21

Photo by Chantelle Cloutier

High school student Chantelle Cloutier reported and took photos when she saw the Bucs play the Giants with Bucified Bert’s Dream Seekers Program.

The words, “Be understanding citizens, identify friendly individuals each day,” were on the lips of every student in Bucified Bert’s group.

You know Bucified Bert, the man who started the Dream Seeker Foundation to keep the legacy of his mother, Emma Lee, alive.  Not only does Bucified give away scholarships, but he has now partnered with Josh Freeman to take students from around the Bay area who live up to the acronym bearing his name to tailgate and see a Bucs home game.  Albert believes kids should make their parents proud and be a positive role for others. Only the kids living that earn the privilege to tailgate with him.

For many students, they had never been to a Buccaneers game before.

“No, I’ve never been to a Bucs game before and I’m pretty excited, although I do have the whole team’s autograph because a player used to own my house before we bought it,” said Mitchell Watson from Martinez Middle School.

As the students approached the stadium, excitement began to kick in. They entered,  awed and overwhelmed with the crowd cheering, canons booming and the smell of sweet victory for the Bucs.

Once they were settled in their front-row seats in Freeman’s front line, they all watched and cheered on the Bucs.

“We all had to get good grades and conduct to be here,”  Denzel Smith of From Martinez Middle School said.

Volunteers from Hillsborough, Blake, Gaither, Spoto, and Bloomingdale high schools worked long hours for the Bucified Bert Dream Seeker Programs 1st Game Day Plan for the golden opportunity.

I was one of those who recieved a chance to get a taste of my dream of being a photojournalist.  I watched the other NFL photographers in amazement as they clicked away right next to me.

Even though the Buccaneers had a devastating loss, the Bucified Bert Dream Seekers walked away with their heads held high and with astonishing team spirit.

I must thank my Bucified Friends, students at James Monroe Middle School (AVID Program and “CNN” Chargers News Network) for editing this week’s blog,  and I really love our Partnership, and look forward to seeing My Bucified Friends again next month. Now, let’s get down to Fanatical Football Talk …

This, of course, is not good, losing 5 games in a row. Right now I am a little fragile, My Fanatical Friends, and indeed it HURTS; it seems like the haters are getting the best of me. I have to be strong, during these trying times, because I`m Bucified enough to tame all cats, but we Bucs fans been in this predicament before we won The National Football League Super Bowl Title (not too long ago). Wonder Woman and her Kat Crew (The Haters) should not comment on this, because they cannot say that their team “Been There Done That.” If so, show me the T-shirt and the HAT!

Only a few teams won something as prestigious as the Lombardi Trophy. I must feed off that great achievement, and reference that accomplishment because of the similarities between coach #6 Tony Dungy, and the current Bucs coach #8 Raheem Morris. The difference is Tony Dungy lost 6 games in a row before he gave Tampa our first victory, and Raheem will give us our first victory after only 5 defeats come Sunday against the Panthers. So give our new coach a break, ‘cause Dungy started out the same way, and Dungy will go down as one of the GREATEST!!!

My Fanatical Friends, please let me explain why I`m eating crow. We made a lot of mistakes, and we beat ourselves. Don’t get me wrong, I have to give the Eagles a little credit; they were pumped, and played us like they are going to the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, I know you saw the anger in their faces, because of our many historic victories against the Eagles since 2002. The fact that it took everything they could muster to beat our BUCS, is a testament to the fact our BUCS have arrived.

Because the haters are trying to convolute the situation, please do not let the feeble minds confuse you. They lack the ability to comprehend the silver lining of our Buccaneers, moreover they can’t deny the fact that our Buccaneers are undefeated in our division, this is profound - that’s right - we are in the hunt for the 2009 South Division Title and we have not lost a game in our Division to the Wonder Woman and her KAT Crew, can I get a AMEN to THAT?

Last but not least, remember the last game we won in 2008 was against a South Division opponent…

This is been a strange year;~ ou remember the Kentucky Derby, the horse that won (MIND THAT BIRD) was a long shot, Orlando Magic beat Cleveland Cavaliers, USF Bulls beat the Florida State ‘Noles. I delivered the Tampa Tribune Paper to the Youngest Coach ever to win a Super Bowl. I can go on and on, My Fanatical Friends!

I really need my WIN, ‘cause I have to finish my New Bucified 2010 Music. You will love it, My Fanatical Friends, I have to be done,~ efore I visit all the schools I partnered with, that want to see my 45 min presentation, SO LETS GO BUCS!!

Plus I have to get ready to produce the next Bucified & OLE IS ALIVE 2010 television Special. I am calling on my Gator and BULL Bucified Friends to help our Bucs this week. Yep, we will get some of that THUNDER.

Guess what, My Fanatical Friends? We play a south division opponent this Sunday at 1 p.m. in OUR Stadium. I am so glad because I can taste this victory, and the last time I was at a Bucs home game, some of my “Bucified Students” were there with me; it was embarrassing -we lost.

But this Sunday I must have chaperones with my students because I really need to get FANATICALLY BUCIFIED, ‘cause We Must Tame This CAT!!!

So come on Panthers Bring IT! Lets really Get it ON. Our losing streak started with you 12-08-08 … It’s only fair that our Winning Streak start against, you Chumps Sunday at RAYMOND JAMES!

My Prediction - Bucs 28, Kittens 14

 

---

Ok, my prediction last week was wrong, My Fanatical Friends. Unfortunately, because of missed field goals, I’m eating CROW.

YEP, I did not see that coming and I truly believe that if we would have made those easy field goals we would be celebrating our first 2009 National Football League WIN. But I really liked our performance against the Redskins. We were winning the battle but lost the war. The statistics shows we beat them in just about every area but the score. Before the haters start talking, that is the area that counts the most.

I always give my Fanatical Friends a reason why we lose and this week is really hard because I’m sure you would agree that the Redskins did not beat our Buccaneers. They did not block the field goals, we just simply missed them. So if you ask me, we really beat ourselves. I have to call it like it is.

We have 12 games on the remaining schedule this season and I am adamant in saying to the haters “Get ready to eat crow.”  I can’t emphasize that enough. Obviously, they have forgotten the purpose of the playoffs. To make it to the Super Bowl. Let me enlighten Wonder Woman and her Kat Crew.  First you have to win the division, next the conference, and then you go to the Super Bowl.

Remember I was on the field at Raymond James this year for Super Bowl XLIII. I saw a team playing that had lost 7 games … the Arizona Cardinals did not listen to “ The Haters” after they lost 4 games, and I Bucified enough not to listen to those haters also.  My Fanatical Friends, all we need is just one WIN to get this party started. We really only had one bad game this year. That was against the Giants. We have not played one division game all year. A loss in the division counts a lot more than any of the 4 losses we’ve had so far, so please just get ready for the next 3 quarters of the season, because we are still in the hunt for the division title.

We beat every team in our division last year, so don’t tell me the season is over. I aint buying it, plus my # 1 Safety will be playing, we wont be getting beat in the secondary, if he would not have missed the first 4 games,  we would have a 3 and 1 record now..

My last prediction was a great one. However, the missed field goals derailed that prediction. I know everyone saw that we could have been up by 16 early in the 1st half of the Redskins game … Now we have a new kicker, so My Fanatical Friends let’s back our Buccaneers up,  because we have seen a lot of hope in the changes last week. Let’s embrace the new changes Coach Raheem has made so that we can beat the Philadelphia Eagles. You must know we don’t like the EAGLES!

I want to beat them so BAD. I know we have the Rays Support, because the Phillies beat them in the World Series. I missed game one of the series, but I went to the second game to help the RAYS beat the Phillies. I knew the BUC power would help them WIN, this is why I went to the 2nd game to support the Tampa Bay home team.

So now, My Fanatical Friends, let’s cheer on our Buccaneers when they play this Sunday @ 1:00 p.m. against the Eagles. Lets Go BUCS! Let’s clip the Eagles’ wings like we did to win our Super bowl Ring. Let’s not forget that historic 62-yard field goal when we beat them the last time, and the fact that we were the first to beat them in that Brand New Stadium.  Oh Yeah! We will find a way to beat the Eagles…

My Prediction: Bucs 20, Eagles 10

Thank you, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and QB, No. 5, Josh Freeman, for recognizing the Bucified Dream Seeker Program, this is a dream come true!!

My Fanatical Fans, it hurts to lose the way we lost against the Giants last Sunday. I know our Bucs took a beating and the part that was so disturbing to me was I could not see it coming this time! Now don’t get me wrong, every year we have some games that just don’t make any sense to me when we lose, but this loss spoke volumes to me partially, because I understand the problem with our Bucs…so let me explain My Fanatical Friends, because this is truly food for thought…

Every team but one that has played in the last 10 Super Bowls had more than three losses, so no need to panic. =-)
 
When you make all the changes we made during the off season, the team needs to gel. During our three losses, we made adjustments in every game Keep following me so that you can understand the point I`m trying to make:  Yes this was a bad game, this beat down is what had to happen for our new coach to clearly point this ship in the right direction.  Yeah, these are trying times, but it will get better because we made the big change. Finally we have the right recipe to get our first win and stop the bleeding, seize the moment, embrace the big quarterback change. Our offensive line needs a little more time to gel and Josh Johnson is the answer. Now get ready to beat the ‘SKINS Sunday,  10-4-09 @ 1:00 p.m.
 
My Fanatical Friends, I wanted to go to Washington D.C. to see the sweet victory that we have been yearning for, for quite some time. I can’t because I would be too rambunctious and make a lot of noise. Washington D.C. security would probably seek me out and throw away the key because I would get too rowdy! But I am happy to be here, as there is no place like home. I will tell you that I am going to really be Fanatically BUCIFIED SUNDAY. As the New Kids On The Block song says, “We have the RIGHT STUFF,” and this Sunday, we will haul out our bag of Whoop ‘Em on the Redskins.  I predict it will be a bad day in D.C. and I don’t think I want to be around to see the Redskins shamed after their loss.

I want to give a shout out to my friend, the Bucs QB, Josh Freedman , No. 5, and my Bucified Dream Seeker Program who teamed up to bring many of my Bucified students to the game.  We tailgated in Bucified Fashion and all my students witnessed a heartbreaking loss. In my program, my students have to learn to understand with victory, there is also defeat, and we have to learn to deal with both sides of the fence, even though it was unfortunate that they had to see the defeat instead of the victory. Josh and I spoke, and we will make this up later to the kids.

This Sunday we will turn it around my Fanatical Friends…we must stay focused and positive.
Do a little Bucified Cheer and repeat after me: WE WILL BEAT THE REDSKINS! Summer is now a memory and Fall is upon us. With the winds of change comes sweet victory for our Bucs!
 
My prediction: Bucs 35,  Redskins 10.

Our future looks BRIGHT, so lets go BUCS!!

My Fanatical Friends, I am sorry for being wrong 2 games in a row,  I know I have to explain what happen to our Buccaneers.

There are various reasons why we, the Buccaneers, beat ourselves this week.  This is my sincere opinion…

We put ourselves in a hole in the very 1st two minutes of the game by 17 points.  We made some mistakes.  But the referee and those yellow handkerchiefs, it seems to me,  that the REF could not see any mistakes by the Buffalo Bills.  I am sorry to use this card but, to me, the Bills would not have beaten the Bucs if it wasn’t for the REFFREE help.  In spite of it all, we were very close to beating both the refs and the Bills.

But My Fanatical Friends, please don`t feel bad,  because we did improve a lot in week 2.  Take away a 2 plays and the BUCS beat the Bills.

And we played Dallas in the first half,  better than the Giants did…I will not be eating crow this week…

Now Sunday we play the Giants and I can’t wait for this game because they think that they are all that and some…

What I really want the Bucs to show the world this Sunday, is that we can take first 2 set back and turn it into a come back…

So when we beat the Giants on Sunday we will stop all those haters from talking… Yee I am eating crow, but this Sunday I expect for us to have a HUGE WIN against the NY little giants…you know, we have to pay them back from the play-offs of 2007….

My prediction Bucs 21 and the Giants 14..

My Fanatical Friends, hold your heads up high, because we really should have won that game against the Cowgirls… but they got lucky!  I bet they had a whole rabbit instead of just the rabbit FOOT.  I believe in giving credit where credit is due, but I cannot, and will not, for this game because I predicted 21 points.  And our Buccaneers put over 450 yards on them chumps.  They never should have gotten those lucky touchdowns.  We made some mistakes on the assignments. 

To the Haters:  Wonder Woman and the Crew of obvious (Furrow Kat women with no identity), that stray cat will be domesticated by the end of the season, so she could see that Dallas beating the Bucs was PURE LUCK, and NYCBucMan1,  Buc Maniac are My Fanatical Friends, and I do have some other friends and we look forward to Taming Wonder Woman and her entire CREW.  That is the TRUTH.  We are really into smack talking now.  We will see if Y’ALL CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH,  but please lets try to be BUCIFIED,  and keep it clean.

My Fanatical Friends, we have a great team and we need not be squeamish.  We were BEATING Dallas deep in to the 1st half of the game.  For a long time we survived everything they were throwing at our Bucs.  The Buccaneers ground game looked well structured.  This was the first game implementing the CADDY under the leadership of a new daddy,  Coach Raheem …  Like I said in my last blog, the last time we made a coaching change, the Bucs went to the Super Bowl.

Now during that same year, ( if you remember My Fanatical Friends), we went to the Super Bowl, and won it all!  For you people who never ever won a Super Bowl, let me enlighten you about what its like…. it’s like being on top of one of the highest mountains in the world.  Once we got there, we took notes as to how we made it to the promise land. I know you Jaguars fans, Wonder Woman, Katz Woman,  Jag Lady, and the other crew members Eric Pink Floyd, the former football player, none of y’all understand how it feels to be a WORLD CHAMPION … I remember it just like yesterday.  This year it looks like history is trying to repeat itself.

It feels good to know that our Bucs will have some of My Fanatical Friends in seats this Sunday at the game against the Buffalo Bills, game time 4:05 pm … NYCBucMan1 and Buc Maniac will be representing in the STANDS 12th man in NEW YORK, This is why we will beat the Bills; they are vulnerable.  For a few reasons, they were in a dogfight Monday night against New England,  and they got beat up mentally and physically; they are hurting. For them it is a short week … not enough time to get prepared to get ready for a hungry team like the BUCS, and Coach Raheem will make the right adjustments from the mistakes we made last week, because we need really need to win this Game very bad. So get ready Tampa Bay, cause I can’t see our Bucs losing 2 games in a row.  It will be a thrill Sunday because the BUCS will BEAT the BILLS.  Lets GO BUCS!!!

My Prediction: Bucs 28, Bills 14
