When it comes to his Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Alex Robles is not a fair weather fan. A season ticket holder since 2000 and Tampa native, the 27-year-old Robles says he supports his team "win, lose or draw -- whatever!."

Why? Simple - "Because I ------- love the Bucs!"

At Buc games, Robles is pretty easy to spot - at least his costume is. He often dons old-school Buc gear, including his creamsicle Hardy Nickerson uniform and baseball cap with the Bucco Bruce logo. At the last home game against the Rams, Robles also donned his red and black Bucs mask and wig, which might be best described as a cross between a Mexican wrestling mask and the one worn by slashers in those psycho-killer movies.

Robles' favorite ex-Buc is, of course, Nickerson. And he says his favorite current player is kicker Matt Bryant. That's because Robles was in that end zone last year when Bryant's 63-yard field goal beat the Philadelphia Eagles. His favorite Buc memory is the 2000 season victory over the St. Louis Ramns, a wild 38-35 win by Tampa Bay often called "The Monday Night Miracle."

During his non-Buc moments, Robles earns a living in the graphics business working for Tampa's P&J Graphics/Printing Services. He also supports the Gators but come Sundays at Raymond James Stadium, watch out for Robles because, as he says "I'm the rowdiest fan here!"

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?
