Buc 'Em contributer Stixx has pointed out in the past that we should attempt to put together some type of Buccaneers "Ring of Honor" ... the fellas from the Pewter Report have one upped Stixx and started a petition for Bucs Fans to electronically sign in order to get the Franchise to (A) - Put up a "Ring of Honor" around the stadium facing the field with Bucs Greats and their Retired Jersey numbers for all stadium guests to see -OR- (B) Have the Bucs install a "Bucs Hall of Fame" at Ray Jay or One Buc Place "where fans can view historic Bucs memorabilia, watch some of the team’s best highlights and see the Lombardi Trophy". The results of the petition are currently available at the Pewter Report. 81% of 1200+ voters are craving the "Bucs Ring of Honor" and I have to agree with them. It would be sweeet to see some Jersey Numbers and Names hanging around Raymond James Stadium. The Pewter Report plans to turnover the petition to the Buccaneers Franchise at seasons end in hopes of starting the fire to have our greats remembered
Be sure to fulfill your civic duty by going over to the Pewter Report and voting for whichever option you would like to see the Bucs implement... If this works, maybe they can get Warchant.com to do the same for Florida State Fans...

BUCCANEERS ROH
WELL I`M GLAD SOMETHING MAY GET DOWN TO FULFILL THIS RING OF HONOR. IT WOULD BRING US CLOSER AS A SPORTS CITY AND SHOW OUR THANKS FOR THE GOOD YEARS AND THE BAD THAT THE TRUE FANS THAT STUCK IT OUT FOR MANY A LOUSY SEASON. HECK I REMEMBER BUYING BUC TICKETS AT THE `OL SOMBRERO FOR 5 BUCKS IN THE PARKING LOT! LOL! WATCHING MARK COTNEY AND DAVE PEAR. THE REAL GOOD `OL DAYS.

So who would be in there?
UF’s Ring of Honor has certain criteria, which on one hand is good and it doesn’t create this huge list of people that maybe shouldn’t be in it. But on the other hand it’s bad, because it might not recognize some people who really should be considered but can’t just because they didn’t receive certain awards or honors during their time there.
Obviously if you are in the Hall of Fame, you are in. So welcome Lee Roy Selmon…who would be the first inductee regardless I would think. Derrick Brooks would get in one day of course. But what about coaches. Just throwing some thoughts out there. Do you put Gruden in because he was at the helm during the Super Bowl year? Do you put Dungy in because he turned the franchise around?
Basically I love the idea of a Ring of Honor, but I just don’t want something that 50 years from now has 25 people in it that really don’t deserve to be up there. I think it needs to be the best of the best.
