PWN,
Wow, so fans that liked Gruden are racist, cause of his “rockstar status”?????? You guys crack me up and need to checkout that definition and meaning of what a racist is!

The Reason why the racism exists now and not when Dungy was here is simple. When Dungy got here we were perenial losers and there was no expectation and all home games were always blacked out. Morris comes in after Gruden who had been here for 7 seasons and was a favorite of the bandwagoner “white” Fan and who was more loved for his “rockstar status” than his ability to develop a consistent winner and build a roster. Morris is doing a much better job than Gruden in terms of football and the bitter Grudenistas will never support this guy because of their undying love for the rockstar.

CaptTim,
I was hatched and raised here myself, but if racism was true what about when Dungy was here? He soldout! Doesn’t make sense to me. Yes, it does exist and Im sure a handful do, but I’m sure the mass majority of fans have other fair issues with Raheem and not the color of his skin.
Like I said Mark, who you said was racist cause he mentioned Manning and Farve, brought up Singletary, yet you ignored that and went on a rant about racism?

Oar, you are a smart guy. I don’t beleive for one second that you would ever think that way, or believe that that other people would think that way. But they do. It’s really sad, but there are a lot of hateful people in the world, looking to blame their failures on others. This is my home town area! I don’t want to believe that people won’t support this exciting young team because of racism. But like lots of ugly things in life, it’s the truth;

CaptTim,
“All you have to do is read the comments and see the problem.”
And have other commenters stop putting their own words to the others comments. Just cause someone says Manning or Farve? How do you get racial out of that? Did you even see his mention of Singletary? He is not white! Get over that racial crap!

Thomas and the rest of these racist fans can bitch and moan all they want. 5-3 soon to be 6-3. Scoreboard Bitches. Scoreboard. Face it. All you haters have nothing left to stand on. Morris coach of the year. Suck on that Thomas.

“Give us a Manning, or a Farve”. ” Gruden or Cowher here = sellouts!”. All you have to do is read the comments and see the problem. They start putting that in the paper, our reputation as hicks will be complete! Maybe The Bucs should go to LA

Say what you you want, it’s part economy, part racial. It’s obvious by the comments here that the haters won’t support a Black Coach and Black QB on this team. They’d rather watch Grudens pathetic oldies lose, or Cowher waste 2 years starting over with some new QB, than watch this team win. It’s more than apparent.

All true, but it seems kind of simplistic to blame it on one single factor. Granted it probably is the biggest reason, but there definitely other factors in play also.

I can tell you that I don’t see nearly as many people wearing Bucs gear as I used to, and I doubt that is a cause of any economic condition. I know I can still wear all of my clothes from two years ago.

Agreed safety! I must admit howwever, after going to games for nearly 20 years, I am getting used to the couch on Sundays.

I am predictin 35k this week. If they were a legit 5-3, soon to be 6-3, there would be more than 35k there.

Add in Cowher, immediately blackouts will be lifted – so what is the denominator? Rah Rah = blackouts!

Thanks Joe.

You underscored one of my points – that we are chastised as “bandwagon” or not true fans because we don’t attend. Personally, I can afford to, I choose not to to spend quality time with my family rooting for the Bucs like we have as a unit for many years. Sunday is a big day at the parents)

Right now the Bucs have very little of their own identity, and they are growing it. We don’t have anchor talent now – and it’s a relatively new team.

Give us a Manning, a Singletary (the player, not the coach), even a young Favre (he turns my stomach now) – an icon that represents the team – win some games, and people will come.
