Living in the state of Alabama one cannot help but be a little sensitive about the word <B>"Tide."</B> The little bit of coastline Alabama enjoys experiences a very small change in tidal elevation especially when compared to Maine. No, here in Alabama when someone mentions <B>"The Tide"</B> they are talking about the <A HREF="http://fightmusic.com/mp3/sec/Alabama__Roll_Tide_Roll.mp3" REL="nofollow">Crimson Tide</A> of the University of Alabama. This is the land where parents raise their children to be Alabama fans unless they raise them to be Auburn fans. One has no choice, if born in Alabama, but to be either a Tide fan or a Tiger fan. So when I see "Bottom of the Tide" I wonder, what controversy has the football team stirred up this time?Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194736027858775766noreply@blogger.com
