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
