While I agree with the Roll Tide sentiment, and it was an outstanding game against Georgia, I don’t think one game, even against the top ranked defense in the nation, should bring the thing in.

And in the spirit of Roll Tide, here is a great remix of the chanty that gave birth to the phrase, performed by the descendants of the sorts of people that built the ship.

Which reminds me of the great observation that Greenpeace ought to adopt the Confederate Navy Jack as the Alabama and the Shenandoah sank far more whalers than the Rainbow Warrior ever did.

Off the three-mile limit in '64,
(Roll, Alabama, roll!)
The Alabama sank to the ocean floor.
(Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!)

The Alabama was all they got;
(Roll, Alabama, roll!)
Captain Semmes escaped on a British yacht.
(Oh, roll, Alabama, roll!)
