lynn Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm an Auburn Fan but because I live here in Alabama I have to say Roll Tide. Tonight the town I live in will be a ghost town until the games over. We take our SEC football seriously here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I'm usually oblivious to these things but I have a family member working with the team right now so ROLL TIDE! :D Edited January 11, 2016 by Forget-me-not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTulip Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My realtor's secretary's son was a backup quarterback for Alabama this year, which makes him practically family, so ROLL TIDE!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Roll Tide!

dtsmamtj Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Oh, yes - we ROLL TIDE here in this house!!! We have one Oregon Duck fan (my oldest son) who could care less about the game tonight, but the rest of us are ready to cheer "GO BAMMA, GO BAMMA."

Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 *whispers* is this some sort of team chant for football or something? College? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarasue7272 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The University of Alabama is the Crimson Tide, I'm the wrong person to ask how or why that is the "mascot". The physical manifestation is Big Al the elephant. Again, not sure how that works. So when we say ROLL TIDE!!! We are encouraging the Crimson Tide to roll on through and destroy the other team, Or drown the Tigers. According to my dad, one of his professors invented/worked on Tide detergent, and it it named after the Crimson tide. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!

Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Aaaaah. I'm not a football person, not s college sports person, and I couldn't have told you which university was located in auburn as the OP alluded to. Thus, I was lost. I've not heard that chant thingy before, but it all makes significantly more sense with context :lol: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaeFlowers Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Oh, yes. My dh is a die hard Bama fan. I'm actually glad we are out of town right now and won't be watching the game with him. Too intense for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyThreeSons Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We live in SC, so I'm rooting for Clemson.

ElizabethB Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Our neighbor's daughter from our last move is in the Bama Band. We lived in Montgomery for a year and met many fans, including our neighbors who were a mixed marriage...Auburn and Alabama. He coached high school football so took the whole football thing very seriously. I am rooting for Bama but not actually watching the game, my husband and son are away watching, my daughter and I are enjoying some quiet girl time.

Mama Geek Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Congrads to Alabama and I am thrilled with how Clemson played. I would have loved to see the outcome the other way, and it was a really good game. Both teams really played hard and gave it all they had. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan in SC Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Alabama played a great game. The on sides kick was a brilliant coaching move. Congratulations! As a Clemson tiger since birth, I'm so proud of our team and coach and hope that they had fun and continue to build on this success. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Eldest dd is at UA, and although we've never previously been a sporting events/teams household, we root for Alabama! Roll tide!! p.s. Did y'all know that the big $$$ Alabama's football brings in to the university is used to fund huge scholarships, improve the entire university, etc? It's really amazing what the university is doing for the entire community and their state by wisely investing that $$! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supertechmom Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ROLL TIDE! We aren't football fans but my oldest is at UA and one can't help being sucked into ROLL TIDE. it is the greeting LOL! I worked last night so watched bits in various rooms with patients who were watching. Everyone was pulling for Clemson so I was the lone UA and I think made it fun for the patients last night. I had a few ask me to wake them up near the end if it was close and they fell asleep so they could see the end. I did and went room to room with a few patients as it finished. We had a fun night joking over football as most Gamecock fans rooted for Clemson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom25girls Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wishing that I had the option to have cheered "WAR EAGLE!" but happy that the SEC won! I'm kinda exhausted today from the late bedtime (who could sleep after all of that excitement). I thought that the game was one of the best that I've ever seen! LOVE NCAA football and so sad that it's over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
