Few pleasures are better than tea in the morning.

My mug says "Alabama Crimson Tide"*. My boss bought it for me of all people. People, when you have a good boss, you have to mentor him and make sure he never leaves.
* Denotes my college team which is well known for its college football** prowess.
** American football. Which I love watching so much.
Interesting.
I had no idea why the excellent film Crimson Tide was called Crimson Tide. I assumed it was something to do with death emanating from the water.
But it appears that Alabama are known as the Alabama Crimson Tide (and of course Alabama was the name of the sub in the film - GO BAMA!)
So question: What does Crimson Tide mean and why are Alabama known as this?
Thanks

In 1906 or so, football was so young and we didn't really have a nickname. We were called "The Crimson White" because of our jerseys. Then in a game a sportscaster said we looked like a Crimson Tide engulfing our opponent. And it stuck.
Thanks for asking.

Years ago, my father-in-law (FIL) spent quite a bit of time in Merry Olde England doing work for the US Government. On one occasion, while dining at some posh joint or other, he asked for a southern (American) favorite drink of "Iced tea".
After a long pause, the waiter indicated (ever so politely) that they didn't serve that beverage. My FIL reminded them that all you had to do was brew tea and pour it over ice. The waiter, with a painful grimace on his face, checked with his manager. Eventually, my FIL got his iced tea. He said that it was about the best **** tea he's ever had in his life too. [8D]
