Koetter’s way has led to a better Bucs’ offense

November 6, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. This year, there is a direction. This year, there is an identity. This year, there are expectations. This year, darned if the offense of the Tampa Bay Bucs doesn’t look, well, coordinated. No, they are still not a fireworks show. They are still not lethal. They are still not the kind of […]

Can Winston’s strengths overcome Smith?

October 29, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. He just got here. The price tag is not off of him yet. His helmet probably has that new lid smell to it. Still, it is not too early to ask the question: Can Jameis Winston be the guy to save Lovie Smith’s job? They are trending in opposite directions. Winston is […]

Bucs giving away too many yards via penalties

October 27, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. The Lovie Smith gang should know this by now: The posse always catches then. Say want you want about playing outside the lines.

October 25, 2015 general

Sunday, 7:45 p.m. It is his fault. Blame him. The absurd 16 penalties for the ridiculous 142 yards? Blame Lovie Smith. Good head coaches are in charge of the discipline of their teams. Oh, you can jump the refs if you want, but the refs change every week. Lovie is still here, and yes, his […]

October 25, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Sunday, 6 a.m. Hi. I’m Al Golden, and what pressure? A lot of Miami alumni want to adjust my necktie. One even bought me this one that looks … like a rope. Ack. – Now Nick Saban wants Alabama fans to be more like Texas A&M. So they can’t buy the dress they want, and […]

Do you buy into Bucs as a solid defense?

October 21, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. The truth of it is, Mark Twain didn’t come up with that line about lies. At least, not on is own. “There are three kinds of lies,” the quote goes. “Lies, damn lies and statistics.” All of which brings us to the defense of the Tampa Bay Bucs. And whether you believe […]
