Are You Ready for Some Football

[teesquare]

I DO have some questions for fans of Alabama and Auburn. It has to do with mascots/team names...Let's start with Alabama:
1. Your mascot appears to be an elephant...but the name of the team is the "Crimson Tide"? Why?
2. Are you aware that a red - or "crimson tide" is the result of a bacterial bloom?  Cyanobacterium. They grow out of control and "bloom" in the presence of excess orthophosphate in water. ( Usually a result of too much fertilizer being used in area...or a flooded waste plant.

O.K... Auburn:
1. Make up your minds guys - are you the Tigers or War Eagles....? Is it a bi-polar thing, or athletic cross-dressing?
2. Have you guys decided to not hire a grounds keeper that is an Alabama fan to water your trees?

Dee,
My wife had a response for you.  However, since this is a family oriented forum, I will refrain from sharing her response.

So I take it that the response wasn't 'Roll Tide Roll"

That would be correct!!

As far as Auburn goes, it is just a bipolar thing.
