Actual dates wont be coming for sometime, but we do know who we will play and when. August 12th-16 is the dates to put on your calendar, the return of Bucs football! We play the Dolphins first on the road, then come back to host KC for the first time since 2000, and here is a quick video interview of Tony Dungy before the game:
We stay home week three of preseason to host the Jags of Jacksonville, then go on the road to play the Texans of Houston to finish out the preseason week of Sept 2nd or 3rd, probably the 2nd as they always play on a Thursday. This means the regular season should kick off September 12th! For us old timers, that used to be the second week, if not close to the 3rd week of the regular season. Seems football is getting pushed back more and more and that is fine with me. September early games at Raymond James should be banned! In the first years of the Bucs, they would play any early season home games on Saturday nights! The interesting part of this news is the return of the KC Chiefs to the schedule. We havnt played the Chiefs since 2000, but they used to be a staple for preseason games back in the 90s.
