TAMPA - At 2 a.m. Saturday, Laquntas Marcus got out of bed and began ironing her sons' clothes. After all, things had to be just right.
By 7, Marcus, husband Milton and sons Milton Jr., 11, Terrance and Keith, 10, and Emaji, 2, were dressed in full Buccaneers ensemble and began the drive from their Lakeland home to the Bucs Fanfest at Raymond James Stadium.
Keith said he wanted Ronde Barber's autograph. Terrance and dad wanted Keenan McCardell's. Milton Jr. wanted them all.
"What we have here is a chance to inspire the kids," Milton Marcus said. "They all play football and they are all huge Bucs fans. Whatever they want to do, I back them.

They have never been in the stadium so it's a good experience. And to meet their heroes, it's even better."...
