Looking back at a grand day.
Training camp practices, after their allure wears off on the first day, quickly become Groundhog Day. (more…)

Lovin’ football life.
This dude is just high on football. No other way to put it. (more…)
J.J. Wilcox
What’s been very clear through eight days of Buccaneers training camp is that newcomer free agent safety J.J. Wilcox is finding the ball regularly and is seemingly always in good position.
But that’s a bit of a surprise. (more…)

It was the fourth consecutive day for the Buccaneers practicing in pads, aka the brutal grind of training camp, but the team got a pick-me-up from an overflow crowd that required the fire marshals to assess the spacing and safety. It was the cheering Stick Carries you’ve heard so much about here. But there was PLENTY of football happening on the field. And Joe was patrolling the sidelines for all the good nuggets. Enjoy!

After practice, Dirk Koetter met with the raucous Stick Carrier fans who sparked an overflow training camp crowd today. Koetter led them in cheer and enjoyed the oil paining presented to him.
Following his post-practice news conference today, Dirk Koetter asked, “Where’s Justin Pawlowski?” Pawlowski is the leader of the Stick Carrier movement — and the host of the Bucs Uncensored podcast on JoeBucsFan.com. They met amidst the overflow, Stick Carrier-fueled crowd at camp.
Joe will have more on this historic day later, including video of Koetter leading the group in cheer and player reaction.

Blame Dirk Koetter
If you’ve been to Buccaneers training camp this season, you’ve no doubt noticed a difference.
Obnoxiously loud music is thumping during practice, louder than Joe and many others can ever remember. (more…)
Mic’ed up.
What a tremendous video the Bucs put out. (more…)
Faces America.
Jameis walked into the alligator pit this morning. (more…)
Going to Buccaneers training camp? Tomorrow the day to attend and to let loose.
Simply stated, legions of Bucs fans will be treating this entire practice like the fourth quarter of a big game. Remember, Dirk Koetter “is fired up about the Stick Carriers.” (Get a roundtrip luxury bus ride and food at TrainingCampExpress.com)

No slacker.
Sometimes, one only needs a quick glace to read a full story. (more…)
Too busy?
Could burnout affect America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston?
It’s an interesting question, especially in light of winning head coach Dirk Koetter’s comments after practice today. (more…)
Enough was enough
All the talk of the Buccaneers defense winning repeatedly against the offense was real through six days of training camp. But that changed today, and that’s not just the opinion of a reporter prowling the sidelines. (more…)
Cites perfection for inaccuracy.
Embattled Bucs kicker Roberto Aguayo seems to be slightly pulling away from Nick Folk as the kicker competition rages on in the second week of training camp. (more…)
