Payday for Bucs Fans27 January 2003CALIFORNIA – As reported by the Tampa Tribune: "The slip of paper in Gary Bayes' wallet reminds him of the faith he has in his beloved Bucs. "Last February, on a trip to Las Vegas, the 46-year-old Seminole man placed a $50 wager at the Golden Nugget casino that the Bucs would win Super Bowl XXXVII. "It was a 28-1 shot. "…Today, Bayes will jump in his rental car and drive to Las Vegas to collect his $1,400 winnings. "…Bayes won't be the only Bucs fan in San Diego feeling richer Sunday after the Bucs' 48-21 victory against the Oakland Raiders. "Around Qualcomm Stadium, long- suffering fans enjoyed the sweet, delayed vindication of victory. "…For fans who made the long and expensive cross-country trip, a Super Bowl victory made it worthwhile. "…`I just wish John McKay was here to see this,' said Carol Kavanaugh, 64, of Parrish. `I think he pulled a couple of strings from upstairs for this one.'" |
