BUCS HAVEN'T SOLD OUT PLAYOFF GAME
Tickets for the Buccaneers' wild-card playoff game have been on sale for eleven days.
And they're still on sale.
Per our friends at Pewter Report, the game has not yet sold out. In fact, seats remain in all three levels of the team's stadium.
"I'm not disappointed," coach Jon Gruden said about the status of the ticket sales. "I'm confident that it will be a great crowd and it will be an enthusiastic one, and hopefully we get it sold out."
The guys at Pewter Report think that a 1-3 slump down the stretch might have tempered enthusiam. Or perhaps it's a byproduct of the top-heavy nature of the two conferences, or of the reality that the Bucs would never be able to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Or maybe there's a sense that the 9-7 Bucs won't be able to topple a 10-6 Giants team that went toe-to-toe with the Pats.
Still, it's playoff football. And it's likely the last home game of the year -- unless the 'Skins scalp the Seahawks and the Cowboys and the Bucs best Brett Favre at Lambeau.
Tight end Anthony Becht is doing what he can to get the tickets purchased.
"I can't think of any reason why fans wouldn't want to come to this game," Becht said. "There are plenty of people in the Tampa-St. Pete-Clearwater community to come out. It's an opportunity for them to support us. I hear fans every week calling in to talk radio, to talk about our team. They need to come out and bring their friends out to the game. We got to the playoffs, we got them a home game. We need their support. It does need to be full. All fans need to be out there. I remember being out there in 2005 with the flags waving and everything. It was an awesome environment. I'm really looking forward to seeing that again. I would be very disappointed if we didn't see that."

I don't think I can buy my first house and those tickets all in a few weeks time...
