Which university and college football team uses the rally cry "Roll Tide!"?
University of Alabama
Roll Tide! is a trademarked rallying cry for the University of Alabama's athletic teams, which are known as the Crimson Tide. The nickname Crimson Tide originates from a 1907 football game versus Auburn University where, after a hard-fought game in torrential rain in which Auburn had been heavily favored to win, Alabama forced a tie. Writing about the game, one sportswriter described the offensive line as a "Crimson Tide", in reference to their jerseys, stained red from the wet dirt. The University of Alabama football program ranks as one of the ten winningest college programs in history.
