Okay let's be serious for a minute. Maybe, just maybe I will have a perfect weekend. The Gators once again have an offensive minded coach. Maybe the Seminoles will lose. Last but not least the Bucs pull off a miracle win against your Lions.
One can only dream.
Liondownnow I really would like to see if it picks up in here if the political BS stopped for a while.
I think that is the first time in my life that somebody thought beating the Lions would be a miracle.
I have vivid memories of Barry Sanders making the Bucs look like a sandlot team.
Considering the way the Bucs offense is playing I think back to what John McKay replied when asked about the teams execution "I think it is a good idea"
Great McKay quotes
1 - In response to a question about his team's execution - "I'm all in favour of it."
2 - On an interception thrown by Steve DeBerg in 1984 that cost the Bucs a game against the Giants - "It was thrown to nobody. Well, it was thrown to somebody, Harry Carson. But he happened to be playing for the New York Giants at the time. It would have been a good pass if Harry had been playing for us."
3 - After a particularly heavy loss - "The bus leaves in an hour - anyone who needs a shower, take one."
4 - On losing a key game - "I told our players that there were 700 million Chinese people in the world who didn't even know the game was played. The next week, I got five letters from China asking "What happened?"
5 - After the Bucs broke their 26-game losing streak - "Three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs."
6 - On recruiting his son John to play for USC and then the Bucs - "I had an advantage - I slept with his mother."
7 - On the prospect of a late-season trip to Green Bay - "Going there is like winning the 98th prize in a beauty contest with only 97 prizes."
8 - On hearing how Buc kicker Pete Rajecki was nervous about McKay watching him in the 1976 pre-season - "That's unfortuntate as I plan on attending all the games."
9 - At a post-game press conference in 1976 "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas."
10 - The following week after a media member has dropped off a case of bananas at his door - "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a Mercedez-Benz."
