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 game was played in a sea of mud and Auburn was a heavy favorite to win. But, evidently, the Thin Red Line played a great game in the red mud and held Auburn to a 6-6 tie, thus gaining the name Crimson Tide..
