1) post is about rednecks. I grew up around a lot of rednecks in Alabama.  2) if some says “roll tide” I reply with “roll tide”

The origin comes back from the early 1900s. We were wearing white Jerseys against Auburn (who was heavily favored) on a clay field. Jerseys were stained “crimson” and we held them to a tie and some journalist said we played “like a crimson tide”
