The holidays are the time of year when families gather together...
for facepaint and Bucs games.

Football has long been a way for fathers and sons to bond. Doug Jr. and Doug "Shiphead" Garrett Sr. like to bond over taunts at the opposing team as they exit the visitor tunnel of Raymond James Stadium.

"We are the guys in the hole every week as the visiting team comes in," Doug Sr. says behind his black and red face paint, "waiting to let them know what is going on."

Like father, like son-both of the Garretts enjoy the cannons during Bucs games. With a slight difference. Doug Jr. prefers the cannons from the Pirate ship after a Tampa Bay score.

And his dad?

"My favorite Buc moment is when Galloway gets a touchdown and puts the old muscle up," says Doug Sr.

Are you the loudest fan in your section? Do you have a season's supply of face paint, and have an artistic way of displaying your loyalty to the Bucs? Is your car - or bus, or RV - decked out in red and pewter?

If so, TBO.com is looking for you. Each week during the season, we will be on the lookout for a Fan Of The Week – someone who's not afraid of showing their true Bucs colors, and would like to be featured on TBO.com.

E-mail us if you'd like to be featured, and be sure to share your photos with other Bucs fans by uploading them to our Snap! fan photo gallery.
