	Wait just a damn minute !!!  Every miami fan that I saw had the pins
	on as well (except theirs said Alabama) N.O. supplied the pins.
	You can however thank us for the "GINO WHO" pins.

	Again, BULLSHIT.  you must have been off you ass drunk.  I saw one
	fight all weekend and that was between two MIAMI fans in the game !!!
	The LARGE crowd that I walked with chanted things like ...
	GINO WHO,  rama-jamma-yeller-hammer, give 'em HELL Alabama and
	several other assorted sayings but not once did anyone threaten
	a miami fan.  In fact, I personally asked several cane fans to join
	Bama on Bourbon street anyway.  There was one drunk 'cane that 
	tried to pick a fight with me.  The NO police said there were VERY
	few incidents the entire weekend.  Sure we talked, we listened to
	it all the way up to the game !! It is now our turn.

	Don't be such a sore loser !!!!  99% of it is all in fun anyway.
