I know preflop I'm an underdog, but after that flop, i was really excited, even with the guy with AJ having the gutshot. lThing that burns me is it was the 4th Ace that hit that burnt me. 2% chance that the ace hits after the turn card. sucks. :/

Would you all call the push in this situation with 9-9? Knowing that those two people in particular had called down your blind steals before?

Against one player I'd definitely call... against two, probably not. Too much of a chance of losing a lot of chips, if not all of them. Even if only one of them has a higher pair (and I think you can count on at least one having you beat), the other will probably have high cards which puts you in a bad situation all the way around. Against a higher pair and a hand with overcards, you're in serious trouble. Against two different overcard hands (let's say AK and AQ) you're doing better, depending on what their specific hands are. If their cards overlap at all, it helps you out (like AK/AQ). If for some reason they had AJ and KQ, that's bad news. You'd prefer to have their overcards cancelling each other out a little bit rather than basically teaming up to make your nines a dog.

You've got 2:1 calling odds and the odds of their hands of already having you beat combined are about that, so the call here is kind of scary.

With multiple all-inners in the pot it's best to have Pocket Qs or above, or suited connectors, preferrably like AKs-JTs that's very improvable and will give much better odds of having the best hand if you hit.

The fact that this is a tournament makes this call a bit different - almost any way this call goes you're eliminating someone, and you can fight your way back if you lose it. In a ring game I would not call this ever.
