Aside from the 26-game losing streak, it was arguably the most disappointing footnote in franchise history.

But after 1,865 tries, the Bucs can now put talk of not being able to return a kickoff for a touchdown behind them.

By taking a 90-yard kick for a touchdown against Atlanta, Micheal Spurlock not only helped the Bucs clinch the NFC South championship, but may have established himself as the dominant kickoff returner the team has long lacked.

How significant is the feat? Was it just a statistical quirk that was bound to happen at some point? Or is it the kind of moment that can help define the season?

And where were you when history was made? At the game? Watching on TV? Or ... did you take a bathroom break and miss it?

How in the world does this Topic receive “169 Views” on the first post alone when there’s less than a few dozen people who even visit this forum on a regular basis?

At the game of course, screaming “Bucs History! Bucs History! Bucs History!”

Now maybe the TV announcers will quit talking about it like they gave up placing thermometers on the sidelines at Bucs cold weather away games a few years back after that one was put to rest.

It’s just awesome it happened at home.

After Ronde’s TD return on the third play of the game, everyone had a laid back “ this is gonna be a good one” kinda attitude. At 7-3 and before the kick goes off I swig my beer and say to my dad (as I do before nearly EVERY kickoff to us,) “ I’ve got a feelin’ we’re bout to witness history.” Then I yell “ Lets make history baby!” And sure enough, it felt like it happenened in a split second, I almost couldn’t believe my eyes, Spurlock takes the kick, the seam opens up and he’s hauling @SS down the sideline. I saw Rich and a few players and coaches trying to keep up and the next thing I know, a volcano erupts and the place goes NUTS!!!!!All around me, over and over (maybe it was coming out of my mouth too) was “ WE DID IT! OMG WE DID IT! WE DID IT! OMG OMG OMG and we were THERE!!!That, is now the greatest Bucs; memory Ive ever had. , We didn’t stop cheering and high fiving for a good ten minutes after that.
