Tuscaloosa, AL -      Taylor Fortenberry thought his weekly 'YouTube' poke at Bama's Saturdays rival was funny.  But, in his homemade broadcast geared toward 'Ole Miss' he calls fans "...white trash..." in two separate references.  Apparently, a lot of  fans in the grove have taken offense and making serious threats against Fortenberry.  He's receiving --prank and threatening calls on his cell phone by the minute.  Fortenberry sayys somehow they got his cellphone and parents home number and posted it on Facebook and YouTube.  "I thought they would "at worst just say o.k...you're a cocky fan...we're going to be you on the field," Fortenberry says.  "Never did I think they would threatenen my life...I mean legit," he goes on.  By 5pm, Wednesday there were close to 20,000 responses on 'Youtube'.  A few of the reactions are positive but most threatening in nature telling him not to come without  "a bodyguard" and another says he wants to 'jab a knife down [Fortenberry's] nostril."  Fortenberry says he did not really mean folks at Ole Miss are "white trash"..."It was a joke.  The Ole Miss people know there's a thing [of class] about them," he says.  Fans have also created a wanted poster using Fortenberry's photo and posted it on facebook asking if anyone sees him in the grove on Saturday to do harmful things to him.  As a precaution he says he will not attend the game.  "I wanted to go so bad.  I had two bodyguards who I was going to pay to go with me.  But, obviously that's not enough."  Fortenberry says he thinks the Ole Miss people have taken it way too far.
