It's a thing. A football thing. Which is a game that boys play in tight pants. They throw a ball around and it is epic. You just have to trust me on this.

Anyway in Alabama there's a college team called the Alabama Crimson Tide and their motto thing is 'Roll Tide'. And it's appropriate as a greeting, a goodbye, a celebration...pretty much anything. You just say roll tide.

And it's very very home. No one else in the world gets it except someone from Alabama and I am very, very homesick, Sage.

I'm sorry. I--do know what football is?

I could get it now? When you say it. ...does that help?

That helps. Lots.

Roll tide!

Also, I have a dvd of Bama's last season that someone who's gone home gave me. I could show you football if you wanted.

Roll tide? [Is he saying it right? HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW.]

Oh--sure. I'd like that.

Roll Tide! Good. And then see you use inflection to make it a greeting or a celebration or a goodbye or whatever.

You don't have to if you're totally not interested in sports.

It's like 'fuck'. Except--it's not. I mean it's different. But you can use both a lot.

[Momentary flail and--] No, I--like sports, I was a cheerleader. Once.

Yes! It's exactly like that. Except you can say it in church and in Birmingham you're encouraged to say it in church.

Really? That is awesome. I was a cheerleader too!

Roll tide, amen?

I'm not surprised. That you were a cheerleader.
