It is the night of Aug. 14, and the Bucs are about to unwrap a new season. There is a buzz over Raymond James Stadium, unexpected for a preseason game.
Fans collect by the players' tunnel, leaning over, peering, waiting.
And then they see him, the new guy. The familiar No. 20 across his chest. Barry Sanders in red and pewter. Imagine Barry as a Buc. Allow the thought to run away with you.
