Photos Of Bucs Fanfest Saturday
June 20th, 2010Joe made it out to Bucs fanfest Saturday at the CITS. Joe thought you’d might like to look as some of the photos he shot.

Good pics. Nice B. Glazer comment. He probably was avoiding people. Classic.

So no Pick a Seat this time? Or are those cards in the EZ seats?

Bryan Glazer talked with me for about 5 minutes. I didn’t notice the avoidance, but then again, I can be a little aggressive at times.

Joe here,
BigMacAttack – Did you call him JimBuc?

I can see that Diamond Dallas’s workout regime has NOT started to work for Palowski yet ….lol

@Joe, you sure The Dream is just signing the back of that woman’s shirt? They both look like they are enjoying that way too much.

Ive seen bigger crowds at a BP gas station.

Joe,
I expected a Glazer/JimBuc reference, just not from you. That’s hilarious!

Guys:
To be fair, not sure Bryan Glazer was attempting to avoid fans at all. Joe saw the guy walking completely across the field right through the fans and not one person either noticed or attempted to talk to him. For the most part he was holding his head slighting downward, as if he didn’t want to be recognized.
Joe’s not sure that’s accurate, but that was the body language. And Glazer was not walking slowly at all.
In fact, at first Joe didn’t think it was Glazer because no one said anything to him and Joe wasn’t sure Glazer would walk amongst the littles given the general mood of the fans.
When Joe finally realized it was Glazer, and pulled his camera out of his pocket and turned it it, as quickly as Glazer was walking, this was the lone shot Joe had a chance to get his picture.
Joe’s had two very much random encouters with Bryan and Joel Glazer out in the public. Both times they were very friendly and polite to Joe.

Mark:
Joe didn’t think there were as many as years past. That’s just a guess though.

That truly was one of your funniest comments Joe (comment directed toward BigMacAttack). Well done.

The guy I talked to could not have been JimBuc. He didn’t come across as a know it all, at all.
It’s funny how you say he was walking around rather quickly, because he was by us too. I had just bought my first cheap beer while the boys were getting theirs, and saw him walking toward me. I said “hey, how’s it going?” and reached out my hand. He shook it immediately and said things were great. He asked my name and we talked about the team and coaches for a few minutes, the direction of the team, and Chucky. He then introduced himself to all 4 of my boys, and told us all thanks for being loyal fans. I don’t want to say any more because he was ‘off the record” but he loves his team. Nothing like getting info straight from the horse’s mouth. I liked him and he was very polite and gracious to us as well.

Got there late, but thought it was great turn out. Was surprised to see ownership walking around! Talked briefly to quite a few Buc coaches and players. Nothing in depth. Quite a bit of excitement among the fans I talked to. Thought it was a great event, all in all.!
