| The Hooters Play Tampa Stadium 8 November 1992 The background Sam Wyche came to Tampa in 1992 and straight away set about changing the mindset of the fans and the Buccaneer organisation. And for the first year, everyone was taken along by it until we all started to see through the facade. In pre-season, Wyche got two local restaurants to design plays for the offense and then actually ran one of them in the regular season. It involved the Buc QB coming in motion apparently in confusion with the bench over the play call. It was also run on the final play of The Longest Yard film with Adam Sandler pulling it off to give the cons the win over the guards (again). The game situation It was early in the third quarter and the Bucs were just inside the Vikings' half. DeBerg came in motion to the sideline and the ball was snapped directly back to Reggie Cobb who took off to the right side of the line. It was not quite as successful as the version run by The Mean Machine however. Click here for the game reports and stats |

From the ridiculous to the sublime, this is a countdown to bring back a lot of memories for Buccaneer fans of all ages around the world. Whereas the top 20-30 plays do stand out and are able to be ranked subjectively (and have been by some of the Tampa media), the early plays are generally spread out across the years and can only be placed approximately in terms of their importance. |
