Years ago, I was a student in this classroom. Now I teach the Bucified Philosophy to the next generation!

I would like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. As we enjoy our families, football, great food and friends, let us take a moment to take a meal to those who are home alone, homeless and those less fortunate than we are. Sincerely Bucified & OLE Is Alive 2012

Now before we talk football, I want to apologize to my loyal Bucified fanatical friends, Buc-Man and Buc Manic, for failing to mention in my last blog they were in Green Bay to watch the Bucs play one of their best games this year!  I would also like to thank them for allowing me to share their photos with my loyal Bucified fanatical friends via my facebook page. I was caught up in the excitement of honoring my mother’s legacy and working with some of the schools who love the Bucified & OLE Is Alive mission. Even though the holidays can be a bit challenging trying to maintain all the tasks at hand, because the void of a Bucified Mother is critical, I will try not to let that mistake happen again.

I want to thank the Buccaneers for providing something to hold on to. If you listen to some of the so-called experts you would think that it’s over for the Bucs. However, our team gave us a legitimate reason to hope with the way they played the 2010 Super Bowl Champs. That kind of performance is the anchor that will keep our hope alive and pull us through the storms in this 2011 football season. My fanatical friends we must continue to believe in our Buccaneers. Throw out just two of those cheap penalties from the referees and we would have won that game,  hands down!  Keep in mind that this team, the “ Green Bay Packers “, had 6 losses last year before they went on to win the Super Bowl.. I said all that to say our season is not over. We only lost 6 games and the next 5 teams are not as good as Green Bay. Plus we sent a message to the league that we are not giving up and will be fighting all the way til the end. It starts this Sunday @ 1:00 p.m. with our showdown with the Tennessee Titans.

My fanatical friends,  The Sweat family, has been involved with the Bucified & OLE IS Alive program since its inception,  and I met his son so for 3 times, please read the email below…

As part of the Great American Teach-In,  I visited,  for the 2nd year in a row,  John M. Sexton Elementary School in St. Petersburg.  Bucified Bert shared his inspirational message with dozens of students in several classrooms, including students in the special needs classes and with the school’s 5000-Role Models club.  Sexton 5th grade student Cory Sweat served as his school’s official Ambassador for Bucified Bert’s visit.  Cory was eagerly anticipating the Bucified Message and even joined the school’s 5000-Role Models club to ensure he wouldn’t miss out on Bucified’s visit.  Cory is learning more and more about the Bucified philosophy, each time he crosses paths with Bucified Bert.  Cory, a straight-A student, came home after Bucified Bert’s visit and talked about Bucified with much enthusiasm.  He even asked me (his dad) if I knew that Bucified had his own web site.  When I replied “yes”, he asked if we could pay the web site a visit.  Cory has a thirst for more information about the Bucified ideology about life and he enjoys sharing the knowledge he has about the Bucified acronym with his friends to Be Understanding Citizens and Identify Friendly Individuals Each Day, Because a Stranger May Be Danger.,  I love

In the spirit of the holidays, let’s try and reach out to the crow eaters, the Nay-Sayers crew. This is a teachable moment. We want to show some love to Wonder Woman and her crew members even though we have some philosophical differences. We can agree to disagree. I want to thank my faithful blog readers. While visiting schools last week during the Great American Teach In, it felt great to have the students tell me how much they enjoy reading the weekly blogs.

Here is my analytical prognostication for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans. The Bucs proved that we have every right to be optimistic, and we are in that contention.. We are really now in the playoffs mode. Fasten your seat belts, because the Buccaneers running back # 27 will have a great game, against Tennessee Titans, This is the team that cut Mr.Blunt, and us Bus Fans, are so glad they did…Plus our Buccaneers performed well against Green Bay. The experts thought we would be annihilated. This team proved that, we are ready to take names the rest of the season. The Titans are a very sorry team and their quarterback is hurt. So My Fanatical Friends we will carve the Turkey, Thursday on Thanksgiving Day,  and stuff the Titans in their house with another loss on Sunday We really are a great team and we will show up and show out, so Lets Go Bucs!

My Prediction Bucs 28   and Titans 14
