Alright check it out...I was at work today and a customer asked me if I went to bama...so I said "yeah" and then he was like "well maybe you can help me out with a trivia question...so I said sure what is it? and then he asked me what the term Crimson Tide came from...so of course ive got now freak'n clue but right off the top of my head I say..."well sir in the early 1800's when the university was first being built the founders marched native american slaves from the Gulf of Mexico up to Tuscaloosa in order to build the University and about half of the slaves died on the march and the other half died while building the school...but when people started to sympathise with the struggle of the natives the school, out of respect, named the team the crimson tide! of course Crimson being the color of their skin and tide being that they marched from the Gulf of Mexico! hahaha OMG you should have seen their faces they thought I just droped some serious knowledge on them! haha and then the guy was like "are you serious"?? and I just smiled and said "na im just f**k'n with you!" and we laughed for like ten minutes about it and they left me a FAT TIP for the story!
