Crimson tide has dual meaning. The Crimson tide is what it's called when a perticular type of sea weed dies and all comes up on shore (the sea weed is a deep red) this happens along the gulf coast, including Alabama.
The name Crimson Tide is supposed to have first been used by Hugh Roberts, former sports editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald. He used Crimson Tide in describing an Alabama-Auburn game played in Birmingham in 1907, the last football contest between the two schools until 1948 when the series was resumed.
