The TideFans Name Thread
- Thread starter TrueCrimson7
- Start date
My English Lit teacher required us to have an email so we could email her our assignments. At the time this was unheard of and we didn’t have student accounts. So I registered for a Hotmail account. I chose 21 because @ the time we had 21 SEC championships. The email site recommended the underscore. When email was a new thing it was aggravating to explain what that was. So when I started posting on Bama boards it was Bama related so I used it on a site called Clay’s Bama Page which became Crimson Corner. I posted all the time on the CC site. They actually required you to pose a couple times per day or they would delete your account. The site crashed so I brought the username over here in case some of those I guys I posted with came over here.

Thanks for the explanation. There was a Bill Brown in my HS graduating class, A. G. Parrish - Selma '59. Thought that was perhaps your dad. Guess not.
For a while, I thought you were related to the Britt family that played for Alabama.
My user name means little Alex in Brasilian Portuguese.

My son picked up the nickname Wag, short for Waggoner, in high school and several family members incorporated it into their online names over the years. My first name is Al, BAMA fan, Wagg,
If someone can tell me how to upload photos from HOME (I know how to do it online here), I can put together a thread that shows the hiring of Coach Bryant and let me tell ya - it sounds exactly like you took it off the front page of today's Net pages, replete with Bryant denials that he's even interested in the job, press pieces in Alabama referring to him as "controversial Texas A/M coach Paul Bryant" and the whole "he's coming home blah blah" stuff.
If someone can advise me on the key component of putting the picture HERE, I think I can put together a rather interesting thread.

After trying several screen names that were already taken, I finally decided to just go simple. My Tidefans name is my first name...Dan, and first initial of my last name...B.

Mines pretty simple: Bama grad from ‘93 plus the first four of my last name gets you BamaFlum. I’ve used that for many screen name over the years. It’s short, simple, and descriptive.
Love this thread. Interesting to see how people come up with their names.

No, because the teacher was out that week and we were mostly self-managed 8th graders with a check-in by a down the hall teacher every 5 min or so.
In fact, half the class was asking me questions like a trivia game, and I was answering.
Teacher couldn't curve the grades and include me because with extra credits and some other stuff, I had a 135 average. He said, "If I curve it, the entire class will fail except for Bill." So he set the curve and excluded me. The same semester I had a 111 in science class. Imagine my disappointment at the end of the year when I only had something like a 99 overall average.
(I never understood how they got these numbers but oh well).
When I joined in 2010 I was living on the gulf coast of MS and tried various combinations of “coast” and “TideFan” but they were either taken or too long. So, I settled on GC (GulfCoast) TideFan. Last year, after 20+ years of living on the coast, we moved back home to Alabama to be near the grandkids. But being avid boaters, we moved near the Warrior River to keep our connection to water and waves. I suppose a name change is due…
My old name on BamaOnline which became Scout was JBAMA, the "J" standing for Jeff.
There was already a similar name here so I changed it to my nickname of Grasshopper or "Ghoppr" for short.

The first email address I ever had in my life was Pilot172000. I got it in November of 2002. I loved flying, 17 was my uncles college football number and the 2000 was added by yahoo to fit their parameters. Hence forth Pilot172000 became a moniker that I have taken to the dozens of message boards I have joined over the years.
I was born in 64 so my first memories of BAMA were the glorious 70's. My favorite player was Major Ogilvie and he was #42. Loved the wishbone days and I love the Pro Style championships today! I would love a goal line wishbone package with Tua as QB, Damien at FB, and Jalen and Najee the halfbacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
