Thread: aliens among us I think

Stayed in the Fairfield inn here in Spanish Fort overnight. Woke up with heartburn went downstairs to get something to put the fire out. When I got back on the elevator a very nice black family got on going to the same floor. Their accent lead me to think they were from this country. But when we started to exit they ask what ROLL TIDE meant on my hat. For fear of nightmares I didn't ask where they were from.

Should've asked them if they had "one second" so you could explain it!

Haha fin I thought that might be your replay. It's all in fun that's one of the many joys of living in this great state. See y'all soon.

Perhaps you can print the following and have it available to hand out the next time you are questioned by an uninformed “alien”.

ROLL TIDE

The Alabama Crimson Tide football team represents the University of Alabama (variously Alabama, UA, or 'Bama) in the sport of American football. The Crimson Tide (hence the motto “ROLL TIDE”) competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The team is currently coached by Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide is among the most storied and decorated programs in NCAA history. Since beginning play in 1892, the program recognizes 15 of the national championships awarded to the team, including 10 wire-service (AP or Coaches) national titles in the poll-era, the most of any current FBS program. From 1958 to 1982, the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, who won six national championships with the program.

As of the completion of the 2013 season, Alabama has 838 official victories in NCAA Division I (an additional 21 victories were vacated and 8 victories and 1 tie were forfeited), has won 27 conference championships (4 Southern Conference and 23 SEC championships) and has made an NCAA-record 60 postseason bowl appearances. Other NCAA records include 23 10-game+ win streaks and 19 seasons with a 10–0 start. The program has had 32 10–win seasons (plus one vacated), and has 35 bowl victories, both NCAA records. Alabama has completed 10 undefeated seasons, 9 of which were perfect seasons. The Crimson Tide leads the SEC West Division with nine division titles and eight appearances in the SEC Championship Game. Alabama holds a winning record against every current and former SEC school, except for SEC newcomer Missouri (2-2). The Associated Press (AP) ranks Alabama 4th in all-time final AP Poll appearances, with 51 through the 2013 season.


Alabama currently plays their home games at Bryant–Denny Stadium, located on the campus in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. With a capacity of 101,821, Bryant-Denny is the 7th largest non-racing stadium in the world and the fifth largest stadium in the United States.
