OK..35 counting Rude..

but seriously..what is the vibe in Tampa? Obviously the crowd can bring it but is their a real buzz in town?

Bob, the entire area is on fire (for the most part) for this team. The problem that Tampa will always have is the transplants ( that make up a huge % of the population) that keep their loyalties to the area they come from. We'll always deal with it here, just a fact of life.

I would swear that Rudy Giuliani, when he was cleaning up Times Square, also secretly shipped every single fat slob from Staten Island -replete with his sweat-stained 5XL "Jetah" tee shirt and his Yankee's emblem calf tat - to Tampa.

They are unavoidable, and there can't possibly be any of them left up there.

Anaheim would be a godsend, as it will keep the transplanted Chicagoans home, and we can actually celebrate this team for Tampa, without dealing with the opposing team's transplanted fans...But I'm up for whoever.
