What's the story behind your TideFans name?

[AthleticTrainer]

Well it's what I do to pay the bills... And it's fun to be around sports while at work

 

[Rattlehead82]

Rattlehead after the Megadeth song and 82 is the year I was born. Nothing special for mine.

 

[bamabelle1991]

I got a spray tan one year for a church play. The next day, I wore my Stabler jersey to work. My boss called me the brownsnake. 42 was my basketball number in high school and college.

You win!! Love this!!

 

[Lassr4Bama]

lassr is the initials of the family.

Leigh Ann
Scott
Savannah
Riley

4Bama -obviously we are all Bama fans.

I'm Scott.
Actually Scott Moore...but NOT that Scott Moore!

 

[CoastGhost]

Me also. Like reading about the War of Northern Aggression and chose General Stuart over Stonewall Jackson for ease of typing it in. I had another user name, but if you have been on this board from the beginning, way way back like 1999 or 2000 somewhere along there if I remember right, there was a major board melt down and we all had to re register and start over again. I changed from an old user name when I re registered and started with this JEB Stuart handle.

That's how I lost my old one.

 

[RTR in PA]

RTR = Roll Tide Roll
in PA = I live in Pennsylvania (and can't wait to see PSU get hammered by the tide in two weeks!)

 

[bilbo]

My name is Bill and my favorite book growing up was the Hobbit (which had Bilbo Baggins) hence the name

 

[GA Bamafan]

I was born in Talladega, lived a large part of my adult life in Pell City. Always a Bama Fan, but in 2003 work took me to Dublin, Georgia. I no longer had anyone to talk to about Bama Football and at the time I thought I was the only Bama Fan in Georgia so I became GA BamaFan.

 

[KanBama]

Kan - for Kansas where I currently live and Bama for where I grew up. I have been using this Screen name for over 15 years and it has spawned a lot of copycats as well as one person who decided to call their business that.

 

[wood78221]

my old AOL screen name,

 

[Bad Pony]

Car tag I've had since 1985...which appropriately goes on a Mustang....except for now that I'm in between Ponies....it's on an F150 :wink:

 

[64met]

For me, I was born in 1964 and am a metal head! Favorite band Metallica- hence the 64met.

RTR!!!!

 

[ChesapeakeTide]

Chesapeake - because I live in Maryland
Tide - because I'm a Bama alumnus (class of '90)

 

[BamaGorilla]

Back when I joined Tidefans I was working for a company named SilverBack... thus I was a gorilla.

 

[CrimsonNeck]

Uhhhhhhhh, could you repeat the question?

 

[Big Sky Bama]

Yep.. you guessed it.. Montana.. Grew up in Birmingham.

 

[OK_BamaFan]

lassr is the initials of the family.

Leigh Ann

Oh wow! Your wife is the only other Leigh Ann I've ever 'met' who spells it just like I do, separate words and all. Curious how she got hers? I was named after 2 grandmothers' middle names...

 

[bamadp]

Bama is obvious, dp after the business my wife and I own. It's ours the weeks we make money, and hers the weeks we lose. hahahaha

 

[fundytide]

I'm a Tide fan who lives in Nova Scotia- not far from the Bay of Fundy home of the world's most powerful tides

OK, secondmost powerful tide.

 

[BamaHoosier]

In high school my main sport was basketball, (the price of spending my teen years in Indiana) and since I wasn't as athletic as some of the other guys on the team I had to find a talent that would get me on the court. After a lot of practice I became a very good outside shooter with almost unlimited range inside half-court. Since people often refer to deep 3's as long bombs I got the nickname bomber. I added Bama to it, and the rest is history.

My only hope is that no one ever assumes that I'm a southern terrorist. lol
