Alabama 'Roll Tide' mentioned on TV show The Mentalist

[Jessica4Bama]

I am currently watching The Mentalist on CBS, and Alabama was just mentioned. Patrick Jane was on a date with another mentalist, and the lady asked this waiter if Roll Tide meant anything to him. He said my uncle played football for the Univeristy of Alabama back in the '60s, and that they are called the Crimson Tide so they say Roll Tide. It was pretty neat. Maybe someone on set is an Alabama fan!

Anyway just thought I would mention it.

Last night was the first time I ever watched that show. The only reason I watched it is because a buddy of mine (huge Ole Miss fan) always watches it. Of course you can imagine the immediate trash talk that ensued after I heard them say Roll Tide. They actaully said Roll Tide about 5 or 6 times throughout the show. I was quite impressed.....although the show is on CBS and we all know that CBS has quite an interest in the SEC so it makes a bit of sense.

I wonder if the aubs will add this show to their long list of boycotts.

Valentine's Day also made reference to Alabama. The star QB that turned out being gay was told by his agent that his team was interested in the QB from Alabama......

Probably. I was on the message board after the show was over, and there was someone who said "I knew it, but Idon't like Nick Saban so with all due respect, I couldn't really be bothered to care". It wasn't an Auburn fan. His avatar, I think, is Missouri but I'm not sure. There is an Auburn fan on the message board, and that person said they were sick of hearing roll tide. Too funny. I made sure I told them that I was a big time Bama fan. I love rubbing it in the Barners faces .

The 'Conspiracy Theory' guys will have CNS as a Ghost writer for the MENTALIST.

It seems that Coach Saban's 'PROCESS' has spilled over onto TV...
(Just another another benefit to being a winner) :BigA:

OMG!!! We have not missed an episode and LOVE this show!! We usually Tivo and watch it later. My husband was out of town this week watching it and called to say, "You NEED to watch it. You're gonna LOVE the first part!!!". He was so giddy he could hardly keep from telling me about it. That was VERY COOL!!! ROLL TIDE MENTALIST!! If anyone figures out how all that came about please enlighten us. :smile:

Sometimes you just have to; "ask not what tidefans can do for you, but what you can do for tidefans?". :biggrin2:

The only bad thing I took away from it (and I am a Huge Mentalist fan) is that the serial killer, Red John, was the waiter that said Roll Tide. LOL

That's what I was thinking.

That's what I was thinking.

I think that woman he was with is involved somehow. Or maybe Red John was stalking them, and overheard them at dinner?

Well, I wish I was into that kind of TV show. I'm not. But felt a tear trying to be born when I just watched that.

On a drier note, some years back I was on speaking terms with Randy Kennedy, the Mobile Register sports editor, before his Auburn fandom and my Alabama fandom brought our communications to a screeching halt.

One thing he didn't seem to appreciate was when I brought it to his attention that Alabama football was/is featured in Forrest Gump and on Coach. There actually was a TV episode of Coach in which the "Minnesota State" team plays Alabama. I pointed out to Randy, that contrary to his contention that Alabama was no longer considered one of the top college football programs (I don't like the word "elite"), here were two examples of the fact that they still were considered such a program.

Not to get non-euphoric here, I think it is anachronistic to put "tight end" and "the sixties" in the same sentence. The term "tight end" was not used in the sixties, was it? I think it has been used to described someone who played in the sixties and is now known for something else, like Doug Moreau of LSU, but I don't think that the use of the word tight before the word end came into being before the seventies. I could be wrong.

No No No... the forensic guy that was maucking Patrick Jane is Red John. We DVR'd it and listened to the voices of the waiter and of the forensic guy and the forensic guy sounded just like him.

I was watching the show coach when his wife said they team had to play UA.

He was more the size of the guy at the end. The other guy was huge. Hum? Makes you wonder how he knew the whole Roll Tide conversation. Well, it is a tv show. Maybe the took a cue from Lost. lmao
