[QUOTE="PurpleBlood87, post: 3188880, member: 4929"] Crimson Tide comes from a sports writer according the University of Alabama. [HEADING=1]Crimson Tide Story[/HEADING] At the 1907 Iron Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama held the heavily-favored Auburn (at the time) at a 6-6 tie. The game was played in a sea of crimson mud and the Alabama players’ white uniforms were stained crimson. As a sports editor for the Birmingham Age-Herald, Hugh Roberts, left the field, he described Alabama as a Crimson Tide. Sports writers then popularized the name and it’s stuck ever since. By the end of your first year on campus, you may hear “Roll Tide” hundreds of times and might even be saying it to every person you see in Alabama gear! Roll Tide is not only a chant, it is a greeting, dismissal from classes, and an expression of the unity of our campus. So get prepared to join the Crimson Tide family and practice your “Roll Tide!” This phrase is one that unites Alabama fans everywhere. [/QUOTE]
