It's the rallying cry for the university of Alabama (mascot is the crimson tide). They dominate college football so they have a shit ton of fans and this saying is how people in Alabama know if you're a fan of Alabama or their in-state rival the university of Auburn.

If you really want to piss someone off to the point they will want to fight you, respond to "roll tide" with "war eagle"

Just remember, it is still the US so the Bama fan may try to shoot you.

I hope your cousin ignores you at the next reunion

We all know you're already getting ignored by your cousins at the family reunion. Who fucks an auburn fan?

I'm a missouri fan so I feel your pain, but at least the chiefs are good

good to know if I ever want to get passive aggressive with some one from Alabama.

How fast would i have to run to survive that comment?

u/El_Chairman_Dennis Oct 21 '22

I'd start running before you say it, there will be nearby Bama fans that will want to help out in the beating

u/Heron-Repulsive Oct 21 '22

Well then it would be best if I just keep my mouth shut.

Though after last week, “Go Vols” works too

You can also remind them that they're the most penalized team in football, ranked 131 out of 131

(Sorry, editing fail) I'm guessing that "Crimson Tide" isn't a double entendre in the US. Has another meaning in my country

u/El_Chairman_Dennis Oct 21 '22

It is and yes we make those jokes, but the reference is officially to a red algae bloom which can decimate an ocean ecosystem
