| Starting off this website Tampa Stadium 29 November 1982 The background This was the first actual Monday Night football visit of the ABC television crew to Tampa Stadium and the place was an absolute zoo in the stands. The visitors were Florida rivals Miami, and the Bucs were 0-3 and facing a pivotal game so soon after the end of the players' strike. The Bucs had led 16-3 going into the 4th quarter before QB Don Strock replaced David Woodley for the Dolphins and launched a comeback that included an onside kick recovery inside the final minute. The game situation Strock dropped back and threw deep downfield with 26 seconds to play. CB Mike Washington intercepted and sealed the victory. And back in the UK,a then 17-year-old watched the game, thought that team in orange must be pretty good, and hence became a Buccaneer fan. The Bucs UK and ultimately BUCPOWER.COM resulted from that one play. Click here for the game details & stats |
