Draft Day went very well. I like our 2002 schedule, mostly because we won the Super Bowl that same year, and, my Fanatical Friends, we are playing a very similar schedule.

We are a little closer to FOOTBALL season. You have to love what the Buccaneers are doing this off-season. I mean, just take a look at the free agents, and the wonderful draft day. The Super Bowl will be here in Tampa, and from what I can see, we are looking great for 2008!!

My Fanatical friends, I am ready to use all of my support from Jiffy Lube to honor my mother by giving out 5 Dream Seeker OLE IS ALIVE scholarships to very deserving college-bound Bay Area students. These students all wrote on my last blog. You must read what they wrote. Please check out there comments. But what I am most excited about is the fact that each student wrote an essay on the Bucified acronym and my dear mother’s mission, Operation Legacy Emma-Lee. You can meet and get to know the Dream Seeker Scholarship 2008 Recipients by clicking on link below, plus you can see their photos. After you read the what these A-Plus students had to say about the Bucified acronym and the OLE IS Alive mission, you will have a better understanding of the Bucified philosophy. A bonus for one lucky recipient… a LONG HUMMER LIMO, for grad night, provided by SKY LINE LIMO!

To find out why I do what I do, all in honor of my mother, you can click on this link. Please read it and share it with as many BUCIFIED people as you know.

Stay tuned to find out more… my event will be May 7, 2008, the week of Mothers Day. I have a lot of support. There are many companies who support my cause. Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio is proclaiming, May 7th as “DREAM SEEKER OLE IS ALIVE Scholarship Program Day” and is calling on citizens to join her in thanking all of those involved with this program for their commitment to the youth of our community. So I say to My Fanatical Fan please help me with this Proclamation…

Bucified Bert, Teamed up with co-worker Nancy Rayan, to conduct a tour of the Newscenter for the students from Wesley Chapel Elementary, the students learned about the Bucified acronym.

The schedule for the preseason is out. I know we are a long ways off but it is also time to get ready for draft day, yes this Is Bucified Bert...my fanatical friends…..I’m Back!

My Fanatical Friends, it been a while since I had the chance to blog but I have been very busy trying to keep my Dream Seeker OLE IS Alive Scholarship program going. As you all know, I have to give out Five scholarships this year and I have to work hard because a lot of People are waiting to see if my 2007 presentation can be topped, and trust me, every year we will get better. I had dinner with the last year’s recipient and she can`t wait to see the DREAM SEEKER OLE IS ALIVE 2008 Scholarship Presentation. I told Phlicia, about my SUPER BUCIFIED PROGRAM for this year MOTHERS DAY WEEK, and she loves what the program has to offer and is very excited about the presentation.

Let’s catch up on football a little....First...The GIANTS beat everybody in the world. Yes, they are the World Champs. What this translates to is, if they can beat the Buccaneers, then NOBODY COULD Beat Them. New England would have made history, but now you have to wait until the 2008 season, and I have a strong feeling you will see history! THE SUPERBOWL WILL BE PLAYED IN TAMPA BAY....SO I REALLY have to get in shape, and trust me I will be very ready....my goal is to lose 40 pounds, I want to be lean and mean (so far 30 lbs. gone 10 to go!) Also in the PRO BOWL Game, the Buc’s Quarterback Jeff Garcia won the game for the National Football Conference. The conference was losing until he came in and helped the team score 14 points! That’s nothing to sneeze at my fanatical friends...... between both conferences, this was the greatest upset in a long time that led to our sweet NFC Pro Bowl Victory…

Let me reflect on something else that made me extremely happy, one thing in particular being the huge response to the video that Kristen Guilfoos put together about my DREAM SEEKER OLE IS ALIVE Scholarship PROGRAM...and trust me I love all the comments and thank you all for taking the time to put your feelings out there. One response in particular that made my day was the one that came from Kristen’s parents. The evidence was so clear to me when I first met their Daughter. I knew immediately that she was raised by caring parents, so I as delighted as I was with their email, it didn’t surprise me to read such inspirational words from them. I appreciate it very much. I enjoyed reading all of the comments as they give me confirmation that what I am doing is making a positive impact in the community. Your feedback motivates me to continue on. You all inspire me each day to be the best I can be and carry on my mother’s legacy. My mother is an angel now and all the things the DREAM SEEKER OLE IS ALIVE Scholarship Program stands for is are the things that have made my Mother’s legacy so important and so poignant.  I never knew a more kind, gentle, loving and caring woman. I know my mother is smiling.=-) Thanks My Fanatical Friends for taking a moment out of your busy schedule to praise my mothers legacy! And a yahoo and a shout out to Kristin!  She is working now, and I am so, so happy for her!!! She is a general assignment reporter at KFDA News Channel 10, the CBS affiliate in Amarillo, Texas.

The Buc’s are wheeling and dealing. I told you about Bruce Almighty, this is his time to shine and we have the ability to put our money where his talents are and let him do his thing. I like what is brewing so far at the Buc’s camp, especially the running backs, the center position and the Quarterback moves. This was a great free agent work out. Now let’s get ready for draft day, so we can integrate some speed and agility with our new players and lay out the daunting path they will face this new season. I am so ready.... Be Bucified, arrive alive and Buckle-UP!!

Bucified poses with some of his phenomenal fans at Gasparilla Parade.

Video: Dream Seeker Program

My Fanatical Friends, this is SUPER BOWL WEEK and the team eliminated us( The BUCS ) may win it all. I am ready to see this big game because the Day after the Super BOWL the focus will shift to the Super Bowl coming to TAMPA BAY in 2009. We host SUPER BOWL # 43 and I just like the way that sounds because the whole world, I mean all eyes will be on GREATER TAMPA BAY!!!

Now this past weekend I had a chance to get into the GASPARILLA FEVER with co workers and friends. I really enjoyed the 2008 Gasparilla EXTRAVAGANZA and what I liked the most was I saw a lot of my BUCIFIED BERT FANS and in some cases, I talked to the parents of some of my fans. They let me know how much they appreciate me keeping my mothers legacy alive...her legacy
means a lot to me because it is a continuation of the life she lived.

Please take a moment to see this short story put together by a reporter name ( KRISTEN GUILFOOS ) you can find out more about Kristen’s work http://www.talentapes.com/kristenguilfoos. She just graduated from the University of Florida and while at school, she was an anchor and reporter at WUFT-TV in Gainesville, broadcasting out of the University of Florida.

Once you see how this phenomenal reporter explains the philosophy of the BUCIFIED acronym, you will have a working knowledge of some of the life lessons my mother
taught me over the years, especially my favorite lesson of all, that being learning how to reprogram your mind. You will also be able to understand what “Ole is Alive” stands for. I want you to know what I will be doing during football off-season. Even though we did not win it all, positive things will come out of the season. For example, high school students that have been fans of Bucified Bert are now GATOR PLAYERS who you’ll see talk on camera. What I am trying to say is you will love it and the music for my mother
is a bonus???

BRUCE ALLEN IS HAPPY, because of his new contract, his name is changed to BRUCE ALMIGHTY, he is ready to go to work to find impact players for the new season. Keep in mind MY FANATICAL FRIENDS BRUCE is very ready to use all the extra money we have to make this investment. We have not had this much money in a long time. I expect some BIG TIME PLAYERS to come out of draft and free agent picks as well.

I must thank all of the fans who took the time to email comments, it really makes my day to see so many people care about what I am doing. I really enjoy being a positive role model for students, so I must thank the schools who take the time to show me they appreciate the work I am doing. I have a lot of support from my co-workers as well. Without them, I not be able to reach as many students I touch with my acronym Be UNDERSTANDING CITIZEN IDENTIFY FRIENDLY INDUVIDUALS EACH DAY. BECAUSE A STRANGER CAN BE DANGER that is what Bucified stands for!!! So BE BUCIFDIED and enjoy the SUPER BOWL, and Don’t DRINK AND DRIVE so you can arrive alive...BUCKLE UP....

Well it looks like the Buccaneers loss to the Giants, does not look so bad after all. Don’t get me wrong!

I hate losing but when we lost, the so called experts started talking like they really knew we would get

Beat, even suggesting that the team need an overhaul; a complete make over. My Fanatical Friends, I promise

you that the so called experts are eating crow over the fierce words they used against every TEAM the GIANTS beat. This is because they are using

the same technique to determine how good a team is. We did what Green Bay did; we got beat by the same

team at home and no expert saw it coming. They would like me to tune in to what they have to say every week????

I’m sorry if I am sounding redundant but listen to me My Fanatical Friends, we are going to witness a changing of the guards.

The Buccaneers are a team that is set to make HISTORY next year in 2009. When the Super Bowl is played in our HOUSE!

NO TEAM HAS EVER PLAYED A SUPERBOWL IN THEIR HOME TOWN, except our Buccaneers! More great news…., the owners really made a great decision bringing Monte back, not to mention my man Jon GRUDEN will be back! So props to the Glazers because in order for me to come up with a new BUCS Rhyme for Super Bowl 2009, I needed to have Kiffin and Gruden on board to help bring our Buc’s to victory. Now with all the extra money in the Buc’s pockets, we have to get about 4 more impact players. Garcia said it best when he told reporters that we don’t have that one “WOW” factor player and we need him now! we will be ready to go to the promise land, right here in GREATER TAMPA BAY. I will be watching closely because I have some players in mind. Details to come later. =-)

Bucified Bert’s First “Ole is Alive” scholarship recipient, Philicia Darns, received the award on Mothers Day Week 2007.

Last but not least, in 2006 I started my Dream Seeker OLE IS ALIVE program that honors my mother. The BUCS went 4 and 12 that year.

In 2007, I gave out one scholarship in honor of my mother. Then, The Bucs won the South Division Championship.  Now think about this a little bit because there is a good trend here. I have a lot of help this year from people who care about what I am doing in the community and this year in 2008 I will give out 5 scholarships to goal-driven high school students striving to reach their maximum potential by rising above negative peer pressure and following their dreams. This means that the BUCCANEERS WILL HAVE A SUPER BOWL YEAR, keeping with the pattern of the BUCIFIED BERT DREAM SEEKER PROGRAM!!!

Bucified On The Side Line BUCS vs GIANTS, JANUARY 6,2008

I am sorry My Fanatical Friends that it took a little bit of time for me to address the Buc’s loss but I have had time to get over the upset they took from the Giants. Now it’s time to be retrospective and give our Buc’s their props because they did a great job this year. I really was shocked and understandably upset to see our team get beat the first game of the post season. We must say, “Hats off” to the Giants because they beat a very good team. The first quarter was the only part of that game I enjoyed. =-) As I cheered my team all the way to the SUPER BOWL tournament (only 12 teams made it to the playoffs) our Buc’s being one of them. We made the experts eat crow all year long. Although, I ate crow in the end due to our Buc’s getting knocked out in the first game as I really thought we would win it all this year.

I know, for me, it felt great being on the sideline before the game mainly because I heard it in August, when the experts did not think it would ever happen. They would say to me “NO WAY,” will the BUCS make the PLAY OFFS.  I am very happy to show you the side line photo above because it was a great way to start 2008! I know we did not win but we came a long way TAMPA BAY. Don’t forget, we only won 4 games in 2006 and we won 9 games this year 2007.

We did what the Dallas Cowboys did; they were beat by the same team at home; first game of the year and this just in… no expert saw it coming.  What I am trying to express is that we are seeing a changing of the guards in the way predictions are made. I like my technique and I will make good time of the off season to polish it up a little. I think we are only 4 players from having a great 2008 season! The Super Bowl will be played in TAMPA BAY and we will strategize another WAY to help Tampa Bay to show up to Ray Jay for the BIG DAY!

I had a lot of great things happen to me in 2007 and I will be giving out a lot of scholarships in honor of my mother I have to be a positive role model and

show my fans how to pick up and go on after your team falls out of the race. Some of my fans are going to help me at my 2nd annual scholarship presentation MOTHERS DAY 2008! They are very excited about it and I can’t wait to see them in action at the ceremony. This is going to be a great year for the recipients of my “OLE IS ALIVE DREAM SEEKER SCHOLARSHIPS”….I will keep you posted. Make sure to keep an eye on my weekly blogs….More information to follow.

Lastly, stay tuned as there are some changes going on with the Buccaneers that I will talk about next week. This week was just to let you know that Bucified is Back and will keep you on track. The ultimate motivator, of the down right procrastinator. I’ve got your back my Fanatical Friends. Stay Tuned…Until next week, stay safe and be Bucified! =-)

Forget about that last two games, They did not hurt us at all, BUT you need “ HD TV “to see the BUCS, REPEAT what they Did in San Diego 2003…

Go to my official web site at www.bucified.com to find out more about how I am horning my MOTHER, with my mission DREAM SEEKER, OLE IS ALIVE

Scholarship program, because our Buccaneers are in the PLAYOFF and I HAVE TO BLOG ON RETURNING TO THE SUPER BOWL… HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In the words of Harry Truman “If you can`t stand the heat, get out the Kitchen.” Now that the Buccaneers are in the PLAYOFFS, My Fanatical Friends,

this is what I have to say, “If you can`t stand to be BEAT….stay away from the BUCANEERS Defensive HEAT! “ Hey, hey Tampa Bay, if your colors are Red, Pewter and BLACK, get ready for the GULF COAST ATTACK! SUPER BOWL STRATEGY, this is Bucified Bert and I matriculated at Jon Gruden`s Academy!

I am ready for some real BUCS FOOTBALL, I can`t wait to see the Buccaneers Play as they feel the PEWTER POWER IN TAMPA BAY!  Just like the regular season …THE BUCS, will start on “DALE MABRY CONNA, and our destination will be complete when we reach the Super Bowl in Arizona! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOOTBALL?  Jon Gruden will bring The “A GAME” to this WILD CARD GAME SUNDAY at RAY JAY, make no mistake. We will show the world that we have what it TAKES to win the Super BOWL in 2008!

My Fanatical Friends, I KNOW that you want the truth. We don’t care what the Giants think. Our defense will make ELI MANNING and HIS BOYS walk the PLANK! I personally hope big brother Peyton will be watching the game as this will be our way of showing him we are tired of getting beat by THE MANNING brothers. The worm is about to turn my Fanatical Friends as the story is about to change when we send ELI back to NY embarrassed and ashamed. Keep in mind that we have GARCIA and he is the real deal! He beat the GIANTS last year when he played for Philadelphia and He BEAT the GIANTS when he played for the 49ers too! Trust me TAMPA BAY, when I say this is the year, the minute, we are in it to WIN IT ALL!  We are in “THE ZONE” and the Giants are coming to our house. Yes, like the title of my blog, “Eli might be comin’ but we’ll be “manning” our ship! We will beat the Giants and send them back HOME defeated, both physically and mentally.  TAMPA BAY IT IS TIME TO PLAY!!

This ain’t no thinkin’ thing, left brain, right brain, it goes deeper than that! The Buc’s are going to show the Giants where it’s at!

My Prediction BUCCANEERS 35 and GIANTS 14…

By ALBERT OWENS

Happy New Year, we will be playing the Eli New York Giants at HOME in our first PLAY OFF GAME January 2008….

The only good that came out of that game against the 49ers was the second string got a great workout.

Well, I want to apologize because I did not factor in the fact that the Buccaneers clinching the division title against the Falcons would mean

they really did not need to win the next two games. Now, theIr eyes are set on getting to the big show, the Super Bowl! We still played a smart game and I know that Gruden played it smart by not letting our chance to go all the way, get disrupted by playing a team like the 49ers, who do not have anything to lose.

Now, My Fanatical Friends I want to take a moment to express my feelings about the holidays…the days ahead are going to be great days for me because I will be showing a lot of love to a lot of people because that is what my late mother would do. She is my hero and champion for teaching me how to navigate life, by living and let live and I knowing that I enjoy keeping her legacy alive. She would expect me to be a positive role model and I will not let her down. So on behalf of my wonderful mother

“Operation Legacy Emma-Lee “, please enjoy your holidays by NOT DRINKING AND DRIVING, and be Bucified and Buckle UP!

It will be hard for us to lose to the Panthers because this is a home game and my second string team got a lot of practice against the 49ers. So get ready to close the season up 10 and 6….I cant wait for the post season to start but lets deal with this last game and get ready for the big show! And I heard from my friends in NEW YORK that the GAINTS are talking a lot of GARBAGE, so get ready TAMPA BAY, because we MUST BE READY TO MAKE SOME NOISE..because we are close, very close to the SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!

My Prediction…BUCS 21 Panthers 14

What a wonderful victory...yes Tampa Bay we are the Champs In the South Division, Bucified and Wonderteach Karen, pose for the WIN!!

By Albert Owens

Nothing will be finer than beating the 49ers! San Fran you should have never let Garcia go!!!!!

(But we are glad that you did!)

Hey, Hey, Tampa Bay, we are in the Super Bowl tournament, thank God the drought is over!  We made a few blocks and let 31 years go by on the clock, then we saw a run that made history, thanks to Michael Spurlock! Dodge Ram Graham will keep making history every time, from here on no out, ain’t no doubt! My Fanatical Friends lets just have a ball because we are The South Division Champs for 2007 and that ain’t all.  It was plain to see that Santa wasn’t good to Atlanta! Too many check marks in the “been bad” column.  We really put a whippin’ on those birds. We made the Falcons look like Turkeys and it ain’t even Thanksgiving!  We are on our way to the Super Bowl and that’s our goal, no one can stop us now, all people can do is say “WOW!” Before the story has an ending, I must reiterate to you all to pay attention to my BLOGS. I am not eating crow but I must say, the expert are looking for someplace else to go! I am suffering from sleep deprivation because of my analytical prognostication! My Fanatical Friends, get ready because we will win from here on in. If you’ve been reading my blogs you’ll know, I haven’t had one small bit of crow! We are in the zone, our mojo is at full throttle and we are ready for the ultimate huddle! It was so nice to see the Buccaneers clinch at such a Fanatical Fans win at home.  the Cheer Leaders on the side, yelling with pride…and fans in the stands getting Bucified….

I like it, I love it and want some more of it! Bucs are gonna bring it…playoffs, here we come!

In honor of my friend John Winter. I would like to thank the community for all the hard work you are doing and generosity with your donations to the Teddy Bear Round Up. It’s proving to be a great success and I am sure John is smiling down on us with happiness. I also want to think the people at Tournament Players Club of Tampa Bay, they made me feel so special . Their hard work and dedication needs to be commended with their contributions and time in making the holidays special for the Troops and their Families. I also have to thank Children With A Vision, Inc, for the invite to their 2nd Annual Bike Cook Out.  I was very happy to help in their vision to help kids have a wonderful Christmas. I can’t stop, I must keep going as this is my way of letting the hard work my mother did, making a man out of me, speak loud during the holidays, and I know she is proud. Very proud.=-)

Now let’s talk about who the New NFC SOUTH Division CHAMPS play this week.  My Fanatical Friends, we did not have any mercy on the Falcons! We are taking names and we can not be stopped! The 49ers don’t have a chance, we will not be benevolent to them like we were to the Houston Texans! We are 9 and 5,and another win will make it 10. What we will do is leave the East coast to go West and thank San Francisco for letting Garcia GO. Thank you San Fran….we now have the man! Garcia will show them exactly what they gave up when they let the man with the golden arm go. I am trying to say, TAMPA BAY, we are going to beat the 49ers like a drum because we have the “leader of the band” as our quarterback! Every one we play at home or away will cry, cry, cry like a BABY. The 49ers will need their hankies as we intend to give them a spankin!

My Prediction BUCS 28 San Francisco 10

---

By Albert Owens

I predicted the Bucs to go 12 and 4…. Yes, being Bucified Bert, a loss really hurt. Now I have to be BUCIFIED, and settle for 11 and 5 MY Fanatical Friends!  Now when I am wrong, I must be given the opportunity to explain. So here is my assessment on the game. First, we must be mindful of the fact that we have not lost since October, almost two months ago!  This past Sunday’s game was against an (AFC) team American Football Conference and the Bucs are in The National Football Conference or (NFC).

An AFC loss is more acceptable for me because this was a wake up call to get ready to win it ALL!  What I mean is that we will take this set back and turn it into a set up for a major come back. I want to put emphasis on the phrase MAJOR COME BACK!!!  Please note we are also getting ready for the PLAYOFFS and it will take an act of GOD for us not to make it.

My dear Mother is my angel and I know she got my BACK and our Bucs back as well. So it is imperative that we keep our eyes on the BIG SHOW, which is the SUPER BOWL. Please don’t get nervous about this loss, I know our Bucs will come back doubly ready and doubly hungry for this win.

Ok, now, the Holiday season is here and I want to thank My Fanatical Friends for there support in my efforts to honor our dear and beloved, John Winters.

I know he is happy with the many smiles that will come from your donations in the Rough Riders Teddy Bear Round Up. I really want to help minimize the pain of not seeing someone, like John, who you really enjoy being around. I will be making rounds to some of the hospitals and children’s homes as Bucified Bert to put smiles on the little hearts and faces. Also, at TPC of Tampa Bay, 12-15-07, I will make an apperance to raise funds for our Troops and their Families.

Now let’s get back to talkin’ football and the fact that we are going to whip some Falcon booty this Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. I want to thank

The Falcons for not beating the SAINTS last Monday Night because the Bucs do not need any help from anyone else to be crowned the South

Division Champs! We are sweeping the south by beating everyone in our division 2X. Last year Atlanta beat us twice, this year we will return the favor because pay back is sweeter my fanatical friends, the second time around! Meet me at RAY JAY, it’s your time to cry in TAMPA BAY…BRING IT ON and don’t forget your hankies! Because we’ll leave you boo hooin’ Falcons!

My Prediction Buccaneers 38 and the Falcons 10

---

Bucified and Shelton Quarles- Chairman, TBARTA, appeared at the opening of HART new Transfer Center in West Tampa 11-20-07

The man’s name is Coach Jon Gruden, look at what he has done for the Tampa Bay area! We are # 1 in the South

Division by 3 games! Gruden IS THE MAN! My Fanatical Friends, I know you are not surprised at all because I’ve been saying it all along that the worst we can do is 12 and 4. I really appreciate having the chance to put a blog out for all to see because it is a permanent record of my predictions, You can look back and see what I have been saying.  I know you trust my unorthodox analytical prognostication that is causing me to suffer from sleep depravation and NO…I do not have a crystal ball!!

This victory goes down as one of my favorites as did last weeks victory against the Skins, both a testament to great coaching by Gruden. Garcia could have played but we are getting ready to win it all! OH YEAH, I am talking about the SUPERBOWL….GREEN BAY is in Second place BUT I really see the Bucs moving into that spot soon. That means a “bye” week for the BUCCANEERS, please stay tuned. My hat is off to LUKE McCown, I know he could get the job done. Even though he didn’t play last year, Gruden had the foresight not to cut him.

The so called experts may have not understood however, I will tell you My Fanatical Friends, in the preseason he and Chris Simms tied for the number one quarterback position until LUKE hurt his knee. Like DODGE RAM ERNEST GRAHAM, Luke was doing great in preseason. This and my understanding of “GRUGENOLOGY”, is why I did not change my predictions. I never second guess my predictions. The Saints offence only put up 14 points against a defense that is very vicious and mean (yes, you know the rest…working like a well oiled machine) and Luke gave their defense 9 points. Let’s reflect on what I predicted… that the BUCS would

get 28 and they only got 27!!!  I will kneel in triumph after Sundays victory 8 !!!!!

Please do not for get about “JOHN WINTERS TEDDY BEAR ROUND UP “ your support will be greatly appreciated. To find out the drop off points go to www.tbo.com You may also drop off your donated teddy bear to the News Center building directly, I know John Winter would be very grateful!

You know my Fanatical Friends, we sent a message to Houston in the preseason, we gave them a bloody nose, and it went something like this, “ that this is a dress rehearsal for what is going to happen in DECEMBER” because THIS IS OUR YEAR !” We are for real TAMPA BAY. They lost their Quarterback Sunday and we will bring enough HEAT to MELT any hope they may have. We have a lot of weapons and they are lethal, take Jeremy Stevens for instance, oh he is really, really tall. Some people say where did he come from? Trust me my Fanatical Friends, we have many more and they have been marinating on the side line getting ready to COOK every opponent that we face from now until we reach the promise land! Remember this “ we started on Dale Mabry Corna!“ our destination is the Superbowl in ARIZONA!!

HOUSTON, we will show your FANS, That we are led by the best MAN!!

My Predictions Bucs 34 and Houston 14

---

Washington was a threat, but did the Buccaneers Win?… “ YOU BET “ The score, 19 to 13 because the defense is vicious and mean operating like

A well oiled machine. Let the world know my Fanatical Friends, that our Bucs are 7-4 and will win many more!!!

This was a great game one of those old fashioned Slubberknokers and what I mean is this, we hit them hard to prove repeatedly our

Defensive line is so good, if you see one of the players this week, please let them know how proud Tampa Bay is to have them!

Keep in mind that Grukoukse didn’t throw one INTERCEPTION, so show him some love. Moreover, he beat the REDSKINS

last year, around the same time, 20 to 17. Being Bucified – my bucified “hats off” to the entire team for wining and giving Garcia a chance to take a

break and get ready for vicitory # 8! Just think, it was a magical November, as we one every game my Fanatical Friends, not many teams can say that!!

Well, the Holiday Season is here and in honor of my dear friend “ John Winter, “ I will be helping the Rough Riders with the Teddy Bear Drive

this year. To hold honor to someone’s legacy, is very special and dear to me as you know from my dedication to my mother’s legacy.  I have witnessed a lot of greatness in response to legacies and events that honor the memory of someone that has been taken from us and was very, special and did so much for our community. It is inspiring to witness the greatness in action that takes place from these legacy drives in our community. The void of not having my friend is painful but helping his legacy live on is very important and something I know, John Winter would want. With that said, Let’s make this the greatest Bear Drive

Ever!!!! To find out how you can help go to www.tbo.com keyword John Winter or bring your special teddy bear to one of the many drop off locations, right inside the doors of address News Center Building located at 200 Parker Street, Tampa, FL 33606; any Westfield Mall or a Red Cross location.

You can mail them in also My Fanatical Friends!!!  Attn: Rough Riders Teddy Bear Drive.

Now, back to the business of football and our beloved Buc’s. Tampa Bay will be away from home playing at another dome. Yes it’s the Saints, I hope they are ready for defeat because our beloved Buc’s can not be beat!  Now don’t worry about Mr. Garcia. He only needed a little break. It spoke volumes that Gruden let Garcia finish the Redskins off.  Don’t let the so called experts try to talk him down, we are about to turn the Saints upside down.  I have to toot my horn a little about telling you that the Redskins would get 13, points so you need to give me my props on that call =-)!

Saints, We’ve Got What it Takes To Get Victory # 8

My Prediction Bucs 27 Saints 14

Happy Thanksgiving my Bucified Fanatical Friends….Let’s Talk Turkey…The Redskins are fixin’ to go from Pork to Turkey in 60 minutes…!

Thanks to your overwhelming support this weekend and your generosity during the Jiffy Lube campaign.  I will be presenting five more scholarships in May Mothers Day Week 2008.  Go to www.bucified.com to find out more about “ Dream Seeker “ OLE IS ALIVE..

The photo above, is my 2007 recipient at the presentation, now 2008 will be 5 Goal-Driven Students, that overcame negative peer pressure!! 

I must ask a question my Fanatical Friends. The Buc’s have just beaten every team in the South Division, what are you going to do now??? Let me answer this one for you; we are going to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday! My Fanatical Friends…you deserve it, enjoy your family, friends and talk about the #1 Bucs!

My Fanatical Friends, I felt like the “whoopin” we gave those “ Dirty Birds “ to get victory # 6 was done out of hard work and not dirty tricks. We played on the up and up and hit them hard, our defense had Atlanta feeling scarred. We clearly sent the Falcons a message and that was this, when we work hard towards a win,,,,we don’t miss.

Bucs 31; the Falcons 7! How about the Bucified Bert Predictions of 34 to 10? Maybe it is time to give me and my unorthodox way of analyzing the games a little respect? What do you think my Fanatical Friends? I told you a long time ago the “defense is vicious and mean operating like a well oiled machine“ can you see why I made that statement in AUGUST? …Say it loud we are # 1 in the South and proud!!!

I don’t know how crow tastes but I know some so called experts, who can tell me! =-) I can`t give out names but I know my Fanatical Friends can point them out! They are the ones with black feathers sticking out of their mouths!

You all should pat yourself on the back for taking the time to read my blogs because my analytical prognostication about the pewter nation is superlative.

We will be sending a statement to the National Football Conference or the (NFC) whichever you prefer, that we are for REAL…Get ready My Fanatical Friends, because the Washington Redskins are going home with a mark in the loss column. Don’t get me wrong, they are a good team but our BUCCANEERS are a GREAT TEAM!  When we play them Sunday at 1:00 p.m., the experts, will start to pay attention to the Buccaneers and it will be music to my ears, when they tell the world what I already know, that we are going to the Superbowl!

AT Raymond James, The Redskins Pig Nose Will Be Rearranged….

Congratulations go out to Jody Powell who won the Hanna Montana Tickets and the money, more than likely because he was wearing a Buccaneers Hat.

Bucified is back from a much needed vacation and it’s time to get Bucified my Fanatical Friends for the remainder of the season. I really enjoyed the time off and I needed it. Wonderful news from Jiffy Lube. For every automobile that goes in for a oil change November 16th &17th, Jiffy Lube will donate a dollar to my scholarship program.

I want to thank University of Florida for letting me be their “Gator Motivator” and all of the schools that invited Bucified Bert to give my thirty minute presentation on the Great American Teach-In that took place this week at all the area schools. I want to thank ESPN for having me on the radio show every Wednesday 6p until 8pm and a thank you to WHBO 1470, Media Talk Web-Cast every Thursday for letting me spread the word about the Bucified Bert philosophy of navigating life dreams. Also, great turn out for the American Heart Walk. I always have a blast participating in this event each year.

Now, down to the business of football my Bucified Fanatical friends!  Atlanta Falcons are on the radar and we started this year by losing to a bird called a Seahawk. We managed to knock one bird out of the sky…that being the Cardinals and this Sunday, we are destined foil the Falcons game plan.

We are fresh from the bye week and our Buc’s players are ready to play. We are in first place… ALL ALONE!  It is time to put a little space between us and the other teams and clearly make our imprint that the Buc’s are the best in the south.  So be ready on Sunday, they may be on the fly but the Buc’s will grab their talons right out of the sky.  We will WIN in their house…. and I can`t wait to see The Buccaneers Play!!!

My Predictions Bucs 34 Falcons 10

Well, it’s all over but the cryin’ and I ain’t lyin’,,,,we made Arizona cry…even though they gave it their best try. Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buc’s they’re number 1 in the South Division after 9 weeks going in to the “bye.”

We know Garcia is the Real Deal, and he can navigate well on the football field but let’s have a little dialogue about “Dodge Ram Ernest Graham # 34.” This guy is our secret weapon and can pull out his arsenal at a moment notice. I told my Fanatical Friends, a long time ago, so that you know not to worry after the Caddy ( #24 ) went in for repair, and Pitman went down.  The offensive line went down, with Alex Smith, (# 81), Mike Allstott, # 40, Michale Claton # 80, just to name a few.  All these injuries and our Coach Jon Gruden, still finds ways to make the experts eat crow. Yes! I Like it, I Love It and I want some more of it. In honor of James Brown,,,I FEEL GOOD, L IKE I Knew THAT I WOULD!  My Fanatical Friends, we know we can make a case for 7 and 2, the Buccaneers record easily but that is alright. We will take 5 and 4 because after the break we will really be ready, ready, ready.. So let the healing begin, for our offence and the defense will really be very vicious and mean , operating like a well oiled machine after the bye! Take a break and enjoy it because you deserve it my Fanatical Friends. As for me, I will be working on my Bucified Bert Dream Seeker and “ OLE IS ALIVE “ Scholarship Program, you can find out more about my program, if you go to my site www.bucified,com ….Oh Yeah, this year at the great American Teach In. I am really going to have a blast, and I will visit some Universities also… unlike last year, during the BYE week, this year Our BUCS are # 1.

Join me in making our community a better place to live!!

My Prediction We Have Two WEEKS To Get Ready For Atlanta Falcons!!!!!
