Not to be outdone, another Niner Gang from Pacifica and San Bruno went whole hog literally, feasting on a roast pig.

"It feels like we have the energy," Cory McCann explained. "We're ready for it. We're ready. This is our time."
In Sunday night's sea of red, some fans gave Super Bowl score predictions.
"Niners by 10. Niners by 10," one person said confidently.
Another said, "Chiefs, nothing. 42, nothing."
For now, fans want to keep the momentum going. Especially knowing that nothing can take away the team's NFC Championship victory.
"It feels so good to have a championship," Eduardo Padilla told ABC7 News. "It's not the Super Bowl yet, but we're heading to Miami and we're so, so excited."
"I have two kids," another fan said. "That's the two best events in my life- this is the third."
A Super Bowl win could bring a different kind of birth- the birth of a new dynasty.
"We deserve it. We worked hard all year long just to be here. From the offensive line, defensive line," one man said. "From the past four to five years of not having success and now we're successful. It's the greatest feeling ever because we deserve it."
