ROLL TIDE

[Sir William Marcus]

Are you referring to University of Alabama's 1930 football team?

[Femme Falchion]

You must be on to something Brother William....I looked up Roll Tide on Urban Dictionary and this is what I found

1.  Rally chant for University of Alabama athletics, especially football
2.  The only thing that University of Bama students have to learn before graduating.
3.  Something that Joe Scarborough says a lot on his tv show.  (I don't even know who that is though....)
4.  A completely uneducated saying a toothless redneck would say even though Alabama has not been a national    powerhouse in football since the Bear left (ooo, harsh)
5.  roll of toilet paper taped to a box of laundry detergent

But I'm still not sure how this relates here.  Help me TJ, you're my only hope. 

**unless Roll Tide is some secret birthday wish or greeting for Lady De Pond....kinda like, "Party on Sister"**

[Sir William Marcus]

Nice investigated work sister.  I think its probably safe to say that young Jesse may be overly excited (as with most Bamas) of their college football team "Crimson Tide".  They are currently ranked #1 in the country with 12 victories and zero losses thus far.  From what I understand is they haven't had a wining record that good since 1930, and now more than ever is time to celebrate! 

Although, The fight to watch will be this Saturday as they face #4 Florida Gators on the battlefield

Fellow thread pilgrims,

I had chosen to ignore Confere Jesse's post since up to this point it hadn't anything to do with this thread, but after watching things develop, I have decided to use it and exercise my mind with a response.
You see, here in Alabama much like in the Holy Land of the Middle Ages, people chose one of two sides (either you were a fan of the light or you weren't). The choices here are being either the Auburn faithful, or that other "religion".
Saturday's Iron Bowl, is the yearly epic struggle between the two faiths. This year, it pretty much resembled the debacle of 1187 at the Horns of Hattin.
The forces of light made their trip across the wastes to Tuscaloosa (similar to the trek from Europe to the wastes of the Outremer), where they've (AU) ripped this piece of land from the infidel's possession (UA), since the very first struggle played out there.
This year, Tommy Tuberville (King Guy) was lead to believe that their strength (the playbook) was superior to that of the infidel, and that bravery (Cody Burn's ability) would carry the day. Having watched the epic struggle, I can only believe that Cody (Raynald of Chatillon) was completely overrated.
The King Guy's (Tuberville) forces left good defensible ground (the playbook that had defeated the forces of the infidel each time they had struggled there before) and followed the lead of Raynald (Cody Burns) to the epic doom. With tactics like this, how could the infidel lose?
Much like the historical example, this disaster gave the infidel bragging rights, until the next effort was launched. (In Alabama, that lasts 365 days)
Also in relation to the historical comparison, the sudden incursion by the Mongols (read University of Florida Gators), helped disturb the sound position the Infidel believed that they had achieved. It also reaffirmed the old adage of "an Enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

And I have discovered through my travels and experiences that followers of that "other" religion, tend to be, prior to this season, much like crows on a power line.....when there is only one, you hear not a sound from them, but when clustered in large numbers upon their "high" perch, one can't shut them up!

So until the next epic struggle in November of 09... "War Eagle and Deus vult!"
