Before I get started, I have to pay my respect to Dan Wheldon I had a chance to meet him, he was nice to my Dream Seeker students. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family Rest In Peace, until we meet again. Sincerely, Bucified & OLE IS Alive for the next generation!
What a great game last Sunday, my Fanatical Friends. I’m talking about sitting on pins and needles! But the fact is, our Buccaneers are 4 and 2, and our expectations are being fulfilled. We are in week 7, and the Buccaneers have only lost two games! As James Brown would say, “Oooww, I FEEL GOOD”, and trust me, our future is so bright, we gotta wear our shades!
Now that we are in the driver seat of the South Division, you should be able to see why I compare this season to the 2003 season when we won the Super Bowl. What we are doing in this 2011 football season is making history again! Just like in 2003, I had to deal with “crow eaters” that did not like the fact that my Bucified Analytical Prognostication about the Buccaneers was so RIGHT!
For the couple of times when our team lost, I thank you for allowing me to explain because I knew we would lose a few this season, that is what happened the year we won the Super Bowl! That is how you make history!!! To Wonder Woman and her crew, the 2011 football season is already history. Oh yeah, once again this season another home game will not be BLACKED OUT! In fact, it will be some time late in November before the “crow eaters” can talk about that problem.
My Dear Supportive Bucs Fans, I will help you get to the promised land! I don`t use Tarot cards, not even astrology. I watched the team closely during the off season, and this is the Bucified approach! I stood up against that football player named Eric “Pinkee” Floyd. He is eating so much crow he can’t say anything on the Blog!
The “YOUNGRY” team is fired up enough to say, “This is our year!” So let’s Go Bucs - 5 and 2- after we beat the Chicago Bears Sunday at 1 p.m. in the United Kingdom!!!
The acronym BUCIFIED (Be Understanding Citizens Identify Friendly Individuals Each Day…because a Stranger can be Danger) is the motto I personify each day of my life. I created it to help the next generation of young Bucified followers navigate around some of the setbacks that can stop or delay a Dream Seekers ability to be all that they can be in life! The philosophy is based on life lessons learned growing up combined with much knowledge gained working in the media. I use the BUCIFIED ideology every day on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and other online cyber space social sites.
Because of the many trolls, I do not condone cyber space bullying. I like being a positive role model every where I go ... to the mall, on the computer, or to the neighborhood store! All of this is for the students! I don’t get paid for it. I just feel a need to inspire, and I use a lot of my own money, and have been for a long time.
Now, I said all of that for one main reason: I am the moderator on the Bucified Bert’s Blog here on TBO, and my colleagues are always filtering and watching for Trolls! Please think before you post, not only on this site, but all of the social sites you visit on the computer!
Bucified Bert Dream Seeker Students are the targeted audience for this Blog. Because of them, I have placed a lot of emphasis on respectfully agreeing and disagreeing in a civilized fashion for years. Plus, all postings are a permanent record for anyone to see. So let’s keep our posts Bucified clean, please! I have to be Bucified at the Bucs games, home and away, and I have respectful debates all the time, and it’s an art to “agreeing to disagree” in a Bucified civilized fashion! Plus I know I can’t please all the people all the time. This is the Socratic (from Socrates’ Philosophy) way of disputing as studied by the young AVID students at Dowdell - agree to disagree! I am honored to help inspire their learning. I try to bring positive energy into all of my situation, and if anyone have a problem logging on please shoot me an email, because we have been doing good on this Bucified site for a long time, and I am Bucified enough to deal with everyone.
Now, My Bucified Analytical Prognostication for the Tampa Bay Bucs vs the Chicago Bears in U.K.: This game in London is very important to us because we lost the last time we were in London back in 2009 against the New England Patriots. Also, it was in the U.K. when Josh Freeman got his first chance to play as a professional Quarter Back in the NFL. Unfortunately, we got beat badly! This is why he will have a great game, also we been there since Monday! This is a lot of time to get acclimated to the foreign country, .plus, we do not want anymore let downs after that last great win, against the Saints!! This Sunday live from the U.K., the Bucs will bring home another win back to TAMPA BAY!!!
My Prediction: Bucs 28, Bears 14

I have some Breaking News, about a Bucified Student by the name of Andrea Bridges, third-year student at the University of North Florida. Go to
and read about this Great Bucified Student, who won my Mothers Scholarship in 2008!
As always, in that humble, Bucified manner, I, Bucified Bert and my fanatical “Bucs” fans, graciously acknowledge our brutal beating from San Francisco. Indeed, we have to give it up to the 49ers! Yes, job well done!!! However, let the truth be told … we played a horrible game. The Cisco team left a bitter taste in our mouths. But, please, please don’t get caught up into thinking that the Buccaneers is a bad team. Realistically speaking, our Bucs just did not show up to play, and in my perspective, they should not be judged by that one game. Heck, we all have a “bad day” now and then!!! To my Buccaneers please “Get Up, Dust Yourselves Off, and Get Back Out There!” Coach Raheem doesn’t call you the YOUNGRY team for nothing!
Before, I get started , welcome back LadI Jag, I know you really like the Saints, but you and BLAZE, Wonder Woman and entire crew, will lose this week, and take that to the bank!
Let’s take a Bucified Recap: Such a “bad day” moment happened to the Bucs before on Dec. 19, 1999, against the Oakland Raiders … 45 to 0! I’m sure that Wonder Woman and her Crew are having a jolly time going back down memory lane recalling this event. Well, remember … Tony Dungy was the coach then, and just like Coach Raheem is doing now, Tony gave them a motivational and inspirational lecture that led them back into that season … regrouped and ready … coming within 6 points from going to the Super Bowl. Everyone but the real Bucs Fans was eating Crow! So as far as our lost to the 49ers … been there, done that! We Bucs fans know the real meaning of a “Come Back.” We are Proud of our Bucs team and support them to the fullest!!!
Now, get ready! As said before, “History will repeat itself!” When the Saints March in, Sunday at 4, they are guaranteed to check out without a win! We must take our recent loss to the 49ers as a “set up” for a “come back.” After we beat the Saints, this Sunday, we will have Identical Divisional records of 4 and 2 … Yeah, we will all be in 1st place! The good thing about this situation is that these types of losses come every other decade to the Buccaneers, its like, we make every mistake thinkable, get it out of our systems, and break out Ready For The World!!!
The losses to these two West coast teams are truly teachable moments for me. It is important for me to be my Bucified self and educate the little Bucified students who look up to me. When I, Wonder Woman and her Crew, and ALL bloggers posts our comments in an “agree to disagree” manner, that makes me very proud! We don’t have to dwell on personal feelings and be rude in our blogs … let’s keep it going in the name of humanity!
As you all know, I have a mission to be as Bucified as I can, and a relayer of positive life choices (missionary). I have to parlay the educational objective of my Mother’s Scholarship Program..“Bucified & OLE Is Alive for the next generation.” So, thank you so much for “Keeping it Clean.” I know its having a positive impact on the little Bucified students who look up to me as a positive role model, like my young Dowdell AVID editors, my past and present OLE IS Alive Scholarship Recipients, and many of my other Dream Seeker Students in the Tampa Bay Area. I can not , and will not let them or my Mother Legacy down!!!
Now, my Bucified Analytical Prognostication for Sunday … when the Bucs play the New Orleans Saints, we really need a V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!! Crunch time is here and these next games are important Division games. That means that everything counts! We know this team very well. The Saints was one of the first teams the Bucs beat when Coach Raheem first became a head coach. We’ve made some changes on the roster that will have major impacts on our Defensive schemes. So Sunday Look for the Return of #36, our Bucs will be Bucified enough to show the Saints, that we are not “Saintified” and Sunday at 4 pm, New Orleans will get a Whooping, and that AINT, no JIVE!!!!
My Prediction: Bucs 21, Saints 14

Here we go again my Bucified Fanatical Friends! I have to thank the Tampa Bay Rays for a great Baseball Season because they made that Monday Night Game against the Colts so special! Those two awesome wins had the whole sports nation talking about the city of Tampa Bay! Even though the Rays lost to the Texas Rangers, they still made everyone in the Tampa Bay area very proud! I say to the Tampa Bay fans, don’t be sad, it was all good.
Now I really can’t wait for the Buccaneers to play the Dallas Cowboys in December. The Bucs will make the Cowboys pay for what the Rangers did to the Tampa Bay Rays. I promise that they will not leave Tampa Bay smiling like the Rangers did!!
According to an unidentified source, out of the 32 teams in the National Football League, there are only two teams that have a better record than our Bucs, and we are the best team in Florida. The nay-sayers can’t help but agree on that. Keep in mind that we are in week 5 and we are tied for first place in our National Football Conference South Division.
I remember how the Bucs started out (a few years ago) before they won the Super Bowl. I had to deal with “crow eaters” like Wonder Woman and her Crew. But, when I booked my flight to San Diego, California, to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play in the Super Bowl, who do you think got the last laugh that year? Without a doubt, yours truly, Bucified Bert and the Bucs Crew!
Now that we are 3-1, it seems like history is about to repeat itself all over again. If you think back, 3-1 is how we started out that Super Bowl year. This is the main reason why Wonder Woman and her crew are getting nervous! It’s getting hot in the Kitchen, and they do not want to give us our props!
I want to thank all of my Bucified Fanatical Friends for sticking with me through thick and thin! Now we are enjoying the good life, and will be for a long time. Trust me when I say this, I don’t see how a team can beat the Buccaneers.
We have a new member, please welcome aboard Ms. Focus! What a Great Blog. She obviously did her homework because the nay- sayers are doing a lot of whining. Ms. Red, Double Trouble, and Holy Roller, I enjoyed your blogs! Bucmanic and NYC Bucman, we must take it up a notch because it feels good to be right! The Bucs are backing up what we say. Wonder Woman, could you or someone in your crew tell us how it feels to lose? Because it’s been a long time since we’ve had that feeling, and we’ve forgotten how it feels.
My Bucified Analytical Prognostication on this Sunday’s game against the 49ers: Our Buccaneers are getting better every game. Yes, we made some mistakes last week and got a lot of penalties, but we are growing, learning, regrouping, and winning. The Bucs have demonstrated that we can finish off any opponent. This week you should see more defensive interceptions and fumbles and the offense going deep down field for the big touchdowns!
You know that Raheem Morris is also the Defensive Coordinator. He is very ready for the 49ers! And remember, we beat them last year without the new weapons we’ve picked up during the off season. Undoubtedly, the 49ers have not played such a power house hungry team like the Bucs! So, San Francisco, I say, this Sunday will be a treat because beating you back to back will be twice as Sweet!
My Prediction: Bucs 32, San Francisco 17

Big Day Monday In Tampa Bay, the city of Champions, Go Bucs and Go Rays!!
This Blog was edited By Yolanda Reeves and Dowdell AVID Students
Before I get started about the Buccaneers, I want to give a big shout out to the Tampa Bay Rays 2011 Baseball Team…”Go Rays!”
I had a GRREAT time watching the Rays make history Wednesday, the 28th , live at Tropicana Field as they beat up the New York Yankees and advanced to the 2011 Major League Baseball Play-Offs…with a chance to win the World Series!
I cannot express my overwhelming joy right now! Truly, my cup runneth over!!! Why? It is because of my need to support the Tampa Bay Area Home Teams and Communities: First, it was thrilling for me to be a part of the Ray’s Success! Secondly, you all know me! You know the word “football” sends a chill up my spine that I cannot shake…especially since the Bucs are performing like they did the year they won the Super Bowl!!! Looks like they have an agenda to repeat the Victory! Well, I sure hope so, and with the support of all of you, my Fanatical Friends, they have exactly what they need! They are YOUNGRY enough to make it happen again. I truly believe that this is our year…baseball and football…ALL THE WAY LIVE!
OK…Lend me your ears…my Fanatical Friends! For now the Black Out has been lifted, and everyone can watch the Bucs play, Woo Hoo!!! There is nothing else the “Crow Eaters” can say, so beware that they are going to attack us for having a great season. If you saw the way the Buccaneers played against the dirty birds and the Vikings…combined with excitement from the TAMPA BAY RAYS, you truly witnessed a Thrilling Successful Season in the making! You can tell that we are going to have a fantastic year, and there is nothing, or no one, that can stop us now! We really are “all that” and “then some.” Based on what the record is showing, it is almost beyond belief to think that there is any other National Football League that can beat the Buccaneers…as we are gaining our YOUNGRY momentum week by week! So, brace yourselves because the crow eaters’ leader, Wonder Woman and her team, the Jacksonville Jaguars are doing terrible! This is week # 4, and she is very sad… plus, she is uncertain about her Jag`s future…word is she’s receiving no help from her key supporters: you remember Kat Woman, and Lady Jag? Well, apparently, they knew that this would be a bad year for Wonder Woman and her crew! My purpose for bringing this up is so that you can give me and my Bucs Crew a chance to take you all the way to the Super Bowl! Wonder Woman and her crew may give us the silent treatment because they know that this really is our year. They can’t handle the TRUTH, and everyone in her crew will loose this WEEK!
In recognition, I must thank Mrs. Yolanda Reeves’ AVID students from Dowdell Middle School. That AVID program is the best in the district! I really enjoy their assistance on the blogs. It really means a lot to work with them. So, “Thank you all, and I will take some time out to come see you.”
My Bucified Fanatical Friends, The students are loving the blog, welcome new Bucified team , Mrs. Holy Roller, Mrs Red and Double Trouble great Blogs… Buc Man, and Buc Maniac, we all have a right to be extremely happy, because we are SUPER BOWL Bound, we have to be nice some what to the Indianapolis Colts, because that is where the Super Bowl will be played this season, and we going to need friends when we go up there in February 2012 to repeat what we did a few years ago..
Now, this Game will be special! Not because it’s Monday Night Football, but because one of the students who won my mother’s scholarship will be part of the half time entertainment…Bethune Cookman University’s Band will be in the HOUSE!!! I can’t wait to see JAVARIS GOODING BUTTS ( JGB ) him and his mother at the game!
My Bucified take on the game this week against the Indianapolis Colts: We will not take them lightly. They beat us real bad the last two meetings…one of those games was on a Monday Night (Oct. 6, 2003). We were killing them by 3 touch downs. There were only three minutes left in the game; Miraculously, they came back and won 38-35, Now, talking about Payback almost the same date 10- 03-2011 its almost time for the sweet revenge!!!
It took a long time to get over that defeat. This Monday Night on ESPN, it will be their time to cry. We will feed off the Tampa Bay Rays and make a statement: While the whole world is watching…that we are the “YOUNGRY BEASTS” To Fear in the EAST, they have to Bring it, without the QB named Patton Manning…
My Prediction: Bucs 24 Colts 14

Hello, to all my Fanatical Friends! A big “CONGRATULATIONS” goes out for a well deserved Victory over the Minnesota Vikings. I certainly look for a legitimate praise from Wonder Woman and her Crew for that awesome performance by the Buccaneers because they knew we had to get all of that bereavement out of our system to get back to our winning ways … like we were when we became “Super Bowl Champions” a few years ago.
I seriously thought that they would capitalize on saying something nice about our Buccaneers winning in that very hostile atmosphere in Minnesota…That had to be one of the greatest comebacks ever. I am very sure that game was extremely exhausting for those naysayers to watch, as they really, really wanted the Bucs to lose! It’s as if they don’t know what Coach Raheem Morris meant when he invented the word “YOUNGRY!”
Well, let me explain…the word refers to the Bucs being Young, Hungry, and very Determined to outdo the 2010 football season.
My Fanatical Friends, it is very obvious that football, America’s greatest sport, is back! The effects of the lockout are all but disappeared. I am so happy that blogs and comments confirm that just about everyone has climbed aboard to show love for their favorite football team, and now that we are all on the same page…Let’s Get Down To Business!!!
We Buccaneers Fans, are in a zone thanks to Ms.Double Trouble, and Ms. RED, we have what it takes to get to the promised land. Buc Maniac and Buc Man, we have a right to fly our Pewter Flags HIGH, because at the end of the 2011 season, only the YOUNGRY and strong will survive!
Please do not feel sorry for Wonder Woman and her crew, unless they beg for sympathy.. Their season is over, I talked to Mr. Eric Pinky Floyd, the “X Football Player ” I must say he is underestimating our Bucs, and I got the impression that he knows that Wonder and her entire crew, season is over, and he just can`t say it on the blog..
I wish someone from Wonder Woman’s Crew would acknowledge the turmoil going on in Jacksonville, Florida, the home of the Jaguars (LOL). Thanks to Buc Maniac for putting it out there! This is the second time around that this information has been communicated on our blog that the Jaguars were moving to Los Angeles. Even the Queen of the Jags has yet to confirm or deny this information for the Bucs Fanatical Friends. I hope she will “Woman Up” because that is her team that is supposed to be moving three time zones away! Maybe she should delegate Big Tyme Cowboy, Mr. Blaze, to getting them to “Man Up!” I know this is devastating for your football team to be losing the last year that they may be in the city! But enquiring minds need to know!!!
As for my take on those fighting Buccaneers and Sunday’s game against the Dirty Birds from Atlanta, this is a big game! I really want this one bad! We will have the YOUNGRYNESS to be on full display.
This is a division game! We state that we are very ready to battle with the Atlanta Falcons. The last two times we played, we had those Dirty Birds in the cage, but they got out! This time, we have reached a turning point in our strategy, like the season is changing from summer to fall.
This Sunday when the game starts at 4…we will clip the Dirty Birds wings so that in Tampa, they can’t fly no more, and they will NOT WIN!!! That’s for sure! We are so really, really ready this time, so LETS GO BUCS!
My prediction: Bucs 24, Falcons 14
We the Bucs are “Youngry,” Bucified, and strong enough
to beat the Dirty Birds!/ALBERT OWENS

“The Vikings Will Suffer An Old Fashion Whooping Sunday!!!
Ok my Fanatical Friends, I will not hesitate to jump right in with an explanation as to why our Buccaneers lost to the Lions last Sunday…However, Football is Back for sure in a profound fashion! MANY upsets took place last week. However, the Buccaneers is one of the teams that should have won! But, giving the overwhelming circumstances that fell upon All shoulders (the death of Mr. Selmon and the remembrance of 9-11)…I must feel good about how WELL we played! Go Bucs!!!
Let me clarify…what I mean is that we showed up, but we did not show out!!!
The good thing about the issue is that although every team in our division lost, we are still tied for #1!!! Really…someone was looking out for us; no doubt it was Mr. Lee Roy (#63) Selmon. Nevertheless, we have to accept our first of a few defeats that I anticipate along this season. Yet, mark my words, “We WILL NOT eat ‘ much crow’ this 2011 football season!” You will clearly understand after we beat the Vikings this Sunday!
For recap…I have to say that I appreciate the many warm “well wishes” from all of the bloggers. As you know, last week was filled with a lot of grief, and being Bucified for the next generation was put to the test! Oh yes, it was tough, but with great friends like you all, we made it through! I can’t thank you all enough for all the kind words, because even though we have to agree to disagree sometimes (in a clean Bucified fashion), you guys did it so tastefully…Awesome Job! I am truly honored to know your character, because I believe the students who read the blogs really admire our efforts to keep it clean…BUT, this week, it’s time to TURN IT UP A NOTCH!!!
Making front page news…The Florida A&M University “Rattlers” are coming to Tampa Saturday, September 17 to face the University of South Florida “Bulls.” I say with great pride that we will cheer for my scholarship recipient’s team (FAMU Rattlers) to beat the “Horns” off the USF Bulls…That’s ALL I have to say!!! Any questions??? Thought Not!
Now, some NFL highlights…The Jags had a miraculous win last week, and I now Wonder Woman and her entire Crew were shocked! You can tell, because , Island Woman had to learn how to use a computer to say something about that win, cause she know it may not happen again this season.. Hey,Yellow Rose , Big Tyme Cowboy, and Mr. Blaze, How does it feel to be embarrassed on national television in 2011 ? Please advise. when I say, ”The Bucs Fans are not crying alone,” I know you all understand without a doubt…This is why Blaze is having technical problems!
Bucman, Buc Maniac, please welcome “Double Trouble” to the crew and get ready for some more supporters because this is OUR year…
My take on Sunday’s game…Well, the Vikings did not show me anything spectacular last week. They are kind of confused since losing that great quarterback! We, on the other hand, made a lot of mistakes early last week. It was as if Lee Roy was on our minds, but we ran out of time…Now, we are hungrier than ever for VICTORY! Sunday’s game can’t come fast enough. The Vikings must get ready for a Beat Down! We are upset that we did not Honor Mr. Selmon with a Victory. and we want to be 1 & 1 after this game Sooo, Sunday, the Vikings have to suffer an “Old Fashion Whooping!”
My Prediction…Bucs 28, Vikings 10

Welcome to a new season, my Fanatical friends. I have one question: “Are YOU ready for some football?” Now let’s make some noise.. I ask you again…“ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?”
OMG!, I know I’m ready for the real season to get started! Before I cut loose on those Detroit “little cats,“ I have to start off by being my cool, calm, and collected self, “Bucified.” So welcome back everyone, I’ve missed you all, and I am thrilled that FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!
Well, I must thank everyone for their support during the televised “Bucified & OLE IS Alive” special that aired on WFLA on Sept. 4. I really appreciate the high rating, and I know this would not have happened without all of you, my faithful, fanatical fans.
In reflection, now that the 2011 College-Bound receipients of my mothers scholarship are off to college, and the current Bucified Bert Dream Seeker Students are back in school, I am ready to talk some smack!!!
However, just for a moment, I have to be sensitive “Bucified” for my students. In recognition of the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, the loss of the Great Mr. Lee Roy Selmon, the mother of one of my 2008 scholarship receipients, and of Mr. Tom McEwen (writer for the Tampa Bay Tribune), a shared degree of sensitivity overwhelms me! Before we resume our chat about the Bucs beating the Lions this Sunday, I ask that you join me in expressing a moment of silence for those fallen heroes. Here we go…(silently counting) “five, four, three, two, one…Thank you!
Together, we can get through these sad moments…these heroes would want that from us. Let’s not let them down!!! I know my mother is looking down on me and expects nothing less of my show of sensitivity as a positive role model for the next generation. I embrace all challenges and will not let her down.
One last thing before I cut loose on Wonder Woman and her crew: iTunes is now playing the Bucified Bert Music. You can go to http://www.Bucified.com to download or just listen to some of the music.
For the “Nay Sayers”—yeah, you know them, my Fanatical friends, the so-called experts that said the Buccaneers would only win two or three games last year—well, the joke was on them: when I changed outfits, I proved them wrong, and after 10 Buccaneer wins, they should be speechless
Take heed Detroit. The Big Payback is coming for you!!!
I’ve enhanced the “Bucified Bert” New Outfit even more to help our Buccaneers get pumped up and to keep the momentum of our winning season going into the 2011 football season. We earned our respect back last season, so I really can talk.
In closing, as for my take on the upcoming game: I loved what I saw during the Buccaneers training camp. We want revenge from last year when the referee gave away our victory. Oh yeah! The refs apologized to us, but that game stopped us from going to the playoffs!
Now, somebody has to pay for all the pain we had to go through, so bring it on, Detroit! It’s time for THE BIG PAYBACK!!!
My Prediction…Bucs 28…the kittens 14!
LET"S DO THIS!!!

After this last pre-season game against the Redskins (Go Bucs!) next week, I start my smack talk.
My Fanatical Friends I must apologize for taking so much time producing my 30-minute television show which will air Sunday, Sept. 4 at 1 pm on WFLA News Channel 8. This special was very hard to produce with all the elements I wanted.
The emphasis for the fourth Bucified & OLE is Alive special will be placed on the students who have been a part of the program since its inception. It will illustrate how they overcame the tough challenges in their life to graduate from high school, and qualify to win the Dream-Seeker scholarships that honor my mother! 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 2012 and beyond. The Bucified recipients from last year are enrolled in the fall semester of their colleges now, and we need to celebrate their success to encourage more students to follow in their footsteps.
Please tune in Sunday for The Bucified & Ole is Alive 2011 Television Special and let your friends know. As Executive Producer of the Program for the third year, I must say that this show may win an award. Once again we congratulate the Bucified & OLE IS Alive 2011 Recipients.
We are also very excited to announce that Highland Homes, the Value Leader in new home construction was the sponsor for the second year in a row.(http://www.HighlandHomes.org). Additionally, Mr. Dallas Hunley of Media General Broadcasting.
Tyrone Keys , the Chicago Bears defensive end when the Bears won the Super Bowl, made a special donation. to each student honoring to very powerful “ Sheros “ whose legacy, played a major part of the Bucified Bert Dream Seeker program getting started….
The Bucified & OLE Is Alive Television Special will be hosted by WFLA Morning News anchor Rod Carter and will also feature new music produced at Ron Rose Studios (http://ronroseproductions.com/) which will feature a special musical video with “America’s Got Talent” super Star Shevonne Philidor, (to see her video, go to http://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/video/shevonne-takes-the-stage/1347499/)
Also featured are the 2009 and 2011 Scholarship recipients BK Jackson and Jarvias Gooding Butts ( JGB ) on the Saxaphone and the Bucified Dream Seeker Student performers. The song was written to reinforce the BUCIFIED Ideology of safety and awareness Many students in the Tampa Bay area teamed up with Bucified Bert to make it happen. Please take a moment to see the trailer we put together on YouTube.
You can see one of my Dream Seeker students’ version of promoting the BUCIFIED & OLE Is Alive 2010 also, by clicking on his YOUTUBE LINK!
Highlighting the “OLE is Alive” Scholarship Mission, this will my third appearance on all of the stations below, and I am excited, because I want to talk about the Bucified & OLE IS Alive television Special that will air the same day so Bay Area listeners should tune in from 6:50 to 7:25 am Sunday for the “Bucified & OLE Is Alive“ interview on the following radio stations:, WDUV 105.5 FM “The Dove”, WWRM “Magic 94.9” FM, 97.1 FM WSUN, WHPT 102.5 FM “The Bone”, WXGL 107.3 FM “The Eagle”
The host of the radio show called Spectrum, on Cox Media Group Radio Stations is Mr. Dayle Greene. He has been doing the show since March of 1985…
So after all this is over, and the real football season begins against the Detroit Lions, I real will be ready to talk smack to the future Crow eaters—you remember, Wonder Woman and her Crew!!
Go Bucs!
Five years ago he was an interviewer.
Today, he’s a 2011 scholarship recipient!

Hello, football fans. It’s time for some chalk talk. As the offense and defense of the 2011 BUCCANEERS report for training camp, I’ll give you my take on the upcoming season. The contract will be signed July 21 and I’m 100 percent sure we’ll get this season started without any disruptions at all. So “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? “ Please say YES. I know I am really, really ready, and it’s about time. The owners and players will be done talking this weekend, and it’ll be time to get to work! The whole nation needs the NFL to play its part and help pull the nation out of this economic crisis our country is experiencing.
Congratulations go out to the Tampa Bay Lightning for giving us a great year in hockey. Their outstanding season helped Tampa Bay stay in the limelight and minimize the pain for fanatical Bucs fans during the offseason. The Tampa Bay Rays also showed us that they have World Series potential this baseball season.
I’d like to share an email from one of my Bucified Bert scholarship recipients: “Hello Bucified, I wanted to thank you again for writing me a recommendation letter for the Google program awhile back. I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted into the program and will be headed to New York City next week. Thank you for everything! My mother said she ran into you today and mentioned you had a new song, and you’ve had a lot of new developments. How exciting! I’d love to know more. Thank you again. “
I’d like to ask all my Bucified fantastical friends to tune into the following radio stations Sunday, 6:30 to 7:25 a.m.:
WDUV 105.5 FM, The Dove
WWRM, Magic 94.9 FM
97.1 FM, WSUN
WHPT 102.5 FM, The Bone
WXGL, 107.3 FM The Eagle
They will air the second interview between radio personality Dayle Greene and Bucified Bert! I will be talking about the Buccaneer players reporting for duty, the Bucified & OLE Is Alive mission. Teaming up with the (Tampa District Sons Of Allen Program) to give out more scholarships on Aug. 6. Plus, one of my 2011 recipients, Javaris Gooding Butts, JGB, will take you away with his superb ability to play a saxophone. He’ll be giving you a taste of the new Bucified music (thanks to Ron Rose Studio). Americaption, and Highland Homes, and Dallas Hunley of Media General, and my colleagues at Florida Communication Group. Get familiar with his name because he’s going places with his musical talent.
