Johnny McCrary (2) is topped on fourth down during Vanderbilt's 31-14 loss against Georgia September 12, 2015 at Vanderbilt Stadium Nashville, Tenn.
Eight months of hope. Eight months of waiting. Eight months of believing that maybe for the first time since middle school, my beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers would exceed my laughably-low expectations.

Eight minutes of Marcus Mariota carving the Bucs’ defense like a pumpkin; eight minutes of Jameis Winston appearing colorblind; eight minutes of the Bucs looking so inept that an objective person could wonder whether or not they were truly a professional football team.
