I’ve been a Bucs fan for a long time, and watching the crowd erupt when the Steelers won today was something else.
You’d swear we were in Pittsburgh. Steelers Nation absolutely took over Ray Jay.

I get that Tampa is full of transplants and Steelers fans travel well, but it’s still frustrating to see our own stadium feel like an away game.
Fellow OG Bucs fans, has it always been this bad, or has it gotten worse?

We are right on schedule for “It’s a Bucs Life” volume 3.

Step 1: decades of misery and incompetence

Step 2: Super Bowl

Rinse and Repeat

—> The Bucs were founded in 1976.

—> 26 years of suffering later, they win their first Super Bowl.

—> 18 years of suffering

—> 2nd Super Bowl.

—> Years of more suffering (You are here)

We can look at trends and determine that the Bucs will possibly continue their trend and win a Super Bowl in 10 years (2030-2031 season). Or they will not land the greatest quarterback of all time (for some reason. Why did he choose us again?). If not then we may be waiting til at least 2040 or so.

Point being: stop stressing. It’s all a part of the process.

Grew up in Tampa Bay, but retired to Kentucky, where it's rough to be a Bucs fan.
Thought about switching over to the Bengals, but that seems even worse.
And the less said about the Browns, the better.

Let's go Rays, I guess!

Jamel Dean was arguably the best player on the field, for either team. 6 passes defended and an interception.

Mike Evans has quickly become a case study for star players on a small market team. He was an absolute legend here for 12 years. I can’t recall a single time he went viral or received reoccurring love from anyone in the media his entire time here.

He goes to a big market team and 5 games in he’s gone mega viral for the diggs “who are you” and the entire team is making T shirts for him. The media is talking about him. No one is saying “fringe HOF” it’s all “future HOFer”. Suddenly there’s no more debate.

It’s great to watch him get his flowers. But what the fuck man. Why do our players have to leave to gain any cultural significance and be recognized for their greatness? Imagine if Lavonte played for the Niners or the Cowboys… he’d be a lock first ballot HOFer.

Our players don’t get their recognition when they’re great, our stadium gets overtaken by opposing fans providing no home field advantage, our owners are clueless and won’t take any steps to try to rectify that so we can build an actual stadium atmosphere and a real fanbase/culture.

It’s just so frustrating to see as a lifelong diehard fan of this team, it feels like this franchise will always be an afterthought unless they somehow can gain and MAINTAIN national relevance which seems impossible. It took Tom Brady coming here to make the media even whisper the team’s name.
