The Shouted "Remember The Alamo" & "Remember Goliad" Because The Are Like Fighting Words Like For Example In The Sport Basket-Ball You Run Plays , And Most Of The Time Different Teams Have Nick Names For The Plays They Run , So The Other Team Wont Know What They Are Talking About , So Just Maybe That Is What They Were Doing , ?
