Big Nasty
Keith Kunzig
I have had the privildege and honor of becoming Visa's Ultimate Buccaneer Fan in 2001 and was inducted into Pro Football's HOF in Canton,Ohio. What makes it fun for me is with this 15 minute worth of fame we have taken the Big nasty character to huge levels whether it be raising over $100,000s of Dollars for Children's charities or the Drugs are Nasty program we created 14 years ago for drug prevention for kids at local elementary schools.I really love going to the games and handing out candy to all of the handicapped seat holders and giving my trade cards to the kids and taking multiple pictures with fans of all the pro teams. I hope to make a fans experience memorable. I have been a fan since I was 8 yrs old when I met the Bucs team mascot "Bad Buc"and become a Buc fan instantly. To ironic that I would become a unofficial mascot of the Bucs and local celebrity.

Major Buc
David Miller
1. How would you describe your experience at this years NFL Draft?
A:My experience at the 2015 NFL Draft in Chicago can only be described as one of the most memorable times of my life. I was honored to be a guest
of the Buccaneers to witness their selection of Jameis Winston as the #1 overall pick. Time-after-time I was featured/filmed on ESPN
(while my fellow Buc fan next to me, “Big Nasty”, was being featured/filmed on NFL Network).
2. Who was most responsible for your characters name and look?
A: I have to credit "Big Nasty" for both my 'game' name (Major Buc) and my look.
He came up with them because I was a Major in the U S Marine Corps and thought a red, white, and blue 'theme' was both patriotic and apropos.
3. What was your thoughts about the Bucs drafting Winston this year?
A: I personally was hoping we were going to draft the stud defensive player from Southern Cal but certainly understand the Bucs' reasoning drafting Winston.

6. If we could go back in time, would you trade our Super Bowl victory for 10 straight playoff seasons but never winning the big game?

Of course since I was a girl I always had more chores to do so my brother would beat me to the TV most of the time. He's always been into sports so that's what I had to watch. I figured if I gotta watch it I may as well get into it & like it. Thus began my love for sports! Not to mention he played baseball.

10. If you could take 1 player from another NFL team and make him a a Buccaneer, who would it be? Why?

Deez Bucz
Jonathan Hinkle
1. How did you become a Bucs fan?
A). I was introduced to Buccaneer football around the age of 10 or so when my father took me to my first game in old Tampa Stadium, the Big Sombrero, when Walter Payton and the Bears came to town. I remember how in awe I was of everything about the stadium and the players...I was hooked!
2. Are you originally from the Tampa Bay area?
A). Yes, I was born and raised in Brandon and then moved to Lakeland just before high school.
3. How did you come up with your gameday look and your character name?
A). My look began in 1997, with the Bucs uniform and logo changes. I bought the skull mask to reflect the new logo and cut up my Jersey to look like a pirate shirt. It's just evolved from there, adding things here and there over the years. My character name "DEEZ BUCZ" is obviously a play on words of the phrase "Deez Nuts". New Orleans has their "Who Dat" and Cincy has their "Who dey" so I was kinda hoping that "Who Deez" would catch on in Tampa Bay! Lol
4. Is there an interaction with a fan that stands out to you?
A). Well, I'm still fairly new at this whole "superfan" thing so I'm still getting used to all the attention that my costume creates. I had a big group of Bears fans want a picture with me so that was fun, but anytime I get kids coming up to me for pictures is great!
5. How would you describe your teams fans?
A). Tampa Bay has some very loyal and patient fans. They'd have to be to endure some of the lows that this franchise has been thru in 40 years! We love our sports! We love our Bucs! We love our Rays! We love our Bolts! I think we have a great fan base here despite what people say about the game attendance at the stadium. I think the economy has had more to do with the lack of sellouts than anything else. We havefans that are passionate and love football and love to tailgate!
6. If you could only keep one piece of your Bucs memorabilia or merchandise, which piece would it be?
A). My dad took a picture at that first Bucs/Bears game that we went to and had it blown up to poster size and framed for me so I think I would keep that since it's of old Tampa Stadium.
7. What Bucs fan inspires you the most?
A). I have two actually. The first would be Keith "BIG NASTY" Kunzig. He has become a Tampa Bay icon, not only for his gameday antics and costume but for all of the work he does in the community with different charities as well.
The other is my lil buddy "Robot NASTY" who is an awesome young superfan who is actually blind but despite the disability is one of the biggest Bucs fans you'll ever find. He is and should be an inspiration to all of us football fans out there!
8. Who is your all time favorite Bucs player?
A). Man, that's like choosing your favorite child! Who do you pick out of Sapp, Brooks, Lynch, Barber, Alstott, Selmon...the list goes on and on! I'm gonna go with an unusual answer that might surprise people...I'll say Joe Jurevicius. Even though he was only here for a short time, he helped bring the Lombardi trophy to Tampa and he played with attitude and love for the game and he was fearless as a receiver. I loved that guy! And the catch he made where he tipped it to himself, over the shoulder, into the endzone for a touchdown was ridiculous!!!
9. If you could take any current player from any team and make them a Buc, who would it be?
A). That's an easy one...JJ Watt. No doubt my favorite non-Buccaneer player in the league right now. He's a beast...he's athletic...he plays with passion and love for the sport...he can do almost anything on the football field...he's just an incredible talent and seems like an awesome guy too. I love when he plays catch with all the kids around the stadium before every game!
10. Do you have an gameday superstitions or rituals?
A). Only when I'm watching games on television. I have to hold my football. It keeps me from biting my nails and also keeps me from throwing anything at the screen when I get pissed. I also have some beads that I chew on which helps out with my nailbiting habit too. That's about it though.
Stylez G. White
Head Coach Jay Gruden (the younger brother of Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Jon Gruden) recommended White to the Buccaneers head coach, who promptly invited him to training camp with the team.
After making the cut at training camp, White was instantly thrust into the limelight on the Buccaneers defensive line. The release of veteran Pro Bowl end Simeon Rice shortly before the start of the pre-season, injuries to free agent acquisition Patrick Chukwurah and the fact that top five 2007 NFL Draft pick Gaines Adams was deemed not ready led to White seeing extended playing time on the field.
In the game against the Atlanta Falcons in November 2007 White turned in a career performance. Starting opposite fellow rookie Adams, he sacked Falcons QB Byron Leftwich twice and forced two fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown by Ronde Barber. The Bucs won the game 31-7 to take a 2-game lead at the top of the NFC South. After the game, Coach Jon Gruden was quoted as saying:
"Every time he makes a play, I can hear my brother up in the press box saying: 'I told you so.' But he's a good kid, a good guy, a hard worker, and he does have natural pass-rush ability. He's raw a little bit in terms of the big picture, but I give a lot of credit to Greg White. We got him late in training camp, and he's made a real impression on all of us."
Stylez G. White (born Gregory Alphonso White, Jr. on July 25, 1979) is a former American football defensive end. He was drafted by the Houston Texans in the seventh round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He played college football at Minnesota.
White was also a member of the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Orlando Predators.

SEASON 3
1. What were your feelings about the Falcons Super Bowl collapse last season?
A: Obviously the falcons being a rival I had mixed feelings about them losing. On one hand, I am good friends with Matt Bryant Kicker for the falcons and still holds the longest fg in Bucs history! I love it anytime we beat Philly! Second hand, I hate to see our rivals win it. Crazy, thing when the falcons were up by 25, I sent Matt's wife a text saying "Tell Matty to get his ring size".. afterwards felt like an idiot. One thing about that Superbowl it proved The BRADY Bunch is the best QB in NFL history bar none.
2. What are your thoughts about drafting OJ Howard?
A:I was excited! But before we cast judgement on the next Jimmie Giles, Let’s see him progress. I do think he provides a much needed weapon to our offence. Let the Cannons FIRE!

A:GRUDEN Hand’s Down! Many people think Dungy built the team to get over the hump. Not true… A lot of the HOF Draft was Sam Wyche. Dungy brought us a winning culture but Gruden’s Free agents were brought in that made a difference to get us over the Philly heartbreakers and become WORLD CHAMPIONS!

SEASON 3
"BUCS PRINCESS"
NIKKI ALARA
1. How did you become a Bucs fan living so far away from the Tampa area?
A: I've been a fan since I watched them in the super bowl as a 12 year old kid with very little knowledge of the game. But after they won, I decided to consider that my team rather than following my parents lead as Broncos fans. It wasn't until 2006 that I really started to learn about the game of football and followed the team more closely. I did as much research into the X's and O's to understand the little intricacies and nuances of the sport. After that, I completely fell in love with the game and the Bucs to the point where being a Bucs fan is a huge part of my personal identity.
2. How did you get your nickname?
A:BucsPrincess just came from my Twitter handle when I joined Twitter in 2011. My father always raised me as a Princess, it wasn't just a nickname, he took that seriously and so Princess wasn't just an idea for me- it was my lifestyle. I created Bucs Princess just because both Bucs and Princess were synonymous with Nikki at the time. As I grew my Twitter network, I noticed that most people in the fan base just always referred to me as The Bucs Princess. So I've embraced that as my super fan identity and have branded myself that was through the Fan community.
3. How would you describe the support for the Bucs in New Mexico?
A: I was named the Captain for the #BuccaholicsNM Albuquerque chapter of the rising Buccaholics group last year. The other Captains appointed me after seeing how much effort I put into organizing local watch parties for Bucs game here. It's been an honor to be a Captain and representative for such an awesome fan group. This platform has given me an opportunity to get in touch with other local Bucs fans and invite them to hang out with us. So far I've met around 40 Bucs fans in the area. It's pretty rare to find another fan around here so I never pass an opportunity to introduce myself when I see someone sporting a Bucs logo. I expect that this season, our watch parties will have at least 25 people showing up regularly- with others popping in and out when they can. I am really proud of the group I have helped put together here in Albuquerque.
4. Do you have any game day rituals or superstitions??
A:I'm not really all that ritualistic nor superstitious. One thing I've learned is never to celebrate a win until the clock is at 00:00. I haven't been able to get comfortable with a lead until the game is over. Especially seeing so many games lost in such epic fashions with little time on the clock.
5. Who is your All Time favorite Buc?
A:Ronde Barber. He was always a consistent player on the Bucs teams as I really started to learn and follow the team. He seemed to always make plays and seemed like a genuine guy off the field. I had the pleasure of meeting him in December 2014, and the experience lived up to all my expectations. It was one of my favorite moments as a Bucs fan.
6. Do you have any interesting stories about being a Bucs fan in New Mexico?
A:I think the coolest thing about being a Bucs fan from New Mexico is how much visibility I've created for myself. Mostly through Twitter than anything else, but I've created personal relationships with high profile people in the fanbase, the NFL Media and even within the Bucs organization. I've had the pleasure of speaking directly with Jason Licht and when I finally met him in person in December 2015. I was hanging out with Ira Kauffman and Roy Cummings in the media room when Ira texted Jason n told him that I was in the building. Jason left practice just to come meet me. Ira tried to give me an introduction to Jason telling him of all the games I had traveled to and where I was from, but Jason cut him off and said "I know who she is." He hugged me and told me how much he was happy to have finally met me. To realized that I have become a recognizable fan despite my displacement, and someone who other people cannot give thought to when the Bucs are the topic of conversation, is the most amazing thing to me. For me, It's not about wanting/needing attention from other fans or high profile people as this response may insinuate, but it always blows my mind that so many people would care about me, my thoughts or opinions, regarding a team that's 1500 miles away. The Bucs fan community and family I've gained, along with the opportunities I've had is the best part about being a Bucs fan in New Mexico.
7. If you could bring back one former Buc to the team who would it be?
A:I think any Bucs fan would want to go back to the 2002 Bucs so we could relive the glory days. For me, I'd want that time back because I only get to experience it in retrospect. Seeing the Super Bowl win to the team back then didn't mean half as much to me as it would today. I'd love to experience that greatness now as the die hard fan that I've become.
8.Who is your favorite NON Bucs player in the NFL?
A:JJ Watt! He is so dominant and seems like a fun guy to meet in real life!
9. What NFL fan has influenced you the most?
A:Old School! Derek Fournier, creator of What The Buc? and co-founder of What The Buc? Really Matters. I've been so fortunate to have built a close friendship with him. He's taken the time to teach me elements of the game that are difficult to teach myself. His heart and passion for this team is something that we share. He does so much to use the platform he's created for himself for the greater good of the Tampa community. I hope to contribute to further my BucsPrincess brand and build a platform to give back to our fanbase. My idea of how to do that might be different than his, but he's been so influential to me.
10. Do you remember the 1st Bucs game you attended?
A:The first Bucs game I Attended was back on October 5, 2008 vs the Broncos. Jeff Garcia was the QB and we lost 13-16. After that, I didn't attend another game until 2011 (due to my financial situations). And since then I've averaged attending 3 games per season.
11. Tell us a little about Bucs Princess as a fan in your own words.
A:My hope for when someone thinks of BucsPrincess they think of someone who is truly passionate and has a true Bucs heart. I hope they can see that she is a loving and respectful towards all others. She is realistic and level headed when it comes to the team expectations and game reactions. BucsPrincess is an advocate for the fans and hopes to build strong bonds between the organization and those who support it. She will ride or die for the Buccaneers and rocks 3 Bucs tattoos proudly! My head is held a little bit higher everyday that I wear a Bucs logo because I'm proud to be a fan of this team!
Gooooo Bucs!!!!
