    Well Johnny my boy, I saved this one to especially enjoy feeding these
bitter words back to you.  I'm sure you are still slack-jawed and glassy-eyed,
along with the rest of the blowhards who couldn't conceive of Miami losing,
especially not to *Alabama*.  While it was a nightmare for y'all, you won't
wake up from this one.  Someone did indeed get the "living snot" clobbered out
of them "in front of God, the world, and everybody" and, as I said, the weather
didn't make a bit of difference.  Alabama showed what a travesty the Heisman
award was this year as well.  I have never seen a more confused, more scared
quarterback in my life than Gino "Jelly-Roll" Toretta in the Sugar Bowl.  He
said it best himself: "It's all a blur".  I told you that he had better be
glad that the Heisman was awarded before he met The Tide.  Now it's just a tin
ornament to collect dust.  Curry and Copeland didn't get to put him on his ass
but they harassed him to the point that he was slinging it everywhere without
aiming.  They were inside his head.  As for one team "showing how the word
'defense' is spelled", school was definitely in and Bama was the teacher.  Ask
your running back who said he'd rush for 100 yards (Miami only had 48 total,
half of which came after Alabama put in the third and fourth string defense).
Ask Lamar "Loudmouth" Thomas who had two big fumbles.  He was run down *from
behind* and robbed of the ball, like taking candy from a baby.  As long as he
lives, no matter what else he accomplishes, he'll *never* forget that one.
Yes, everyone learned about defense New Year's night.  As for offense, well,
Miami's first string one couldn't even manage a touchdown.  *That*, my friend,
is how you spell domination.  The "mighty" canes were used, abused, toyed with,
and thoroughly ripped apart by a far superior team.  Bama doesn't care if you
give us respect because, by God, we'll take it from you!

    Gino Who?!
