Nope. The problem is on our end. Sean Lahman was hosting the gamebooks. He let the domain expire. I am working with him to get all of the gamebooks, including others that we do not have. Once I get everything, I will host it on the PFRA website.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

That Bucs site is actually a great site. I like the way it has links to game by game for each season, along with the broadcast highlights (where available) and game books.

I think this was the same site that several years ago had some rare footage - both network and NFL Films - of the Bucs/Chiefs 1979 monsoon game. The NFL Films clip was the Facenda narrated story of the game, for which I have not been able to find elsewhere. Not even on the 1979 team highlights.

Sadly, all those clips were apparently forced to be taken down several years ago.

The Bucpower.com site, if I remember correctly, is run by a bunch of rabid Bucs fans in the UK, and it is the most comprehensive Bucs fan website period. NFL Films did a segment a couple years back on the Bucs fan club in the UK and that Tampa Bay has had the most hardcore fan base of NFL team over there.
