🏈 What led to your choice of your RollTideBama username?

[alabama mike]

What is the meaning of the name you have chosen for Roll Tide Bama?

My name is Mike and I was born and raised in Florence, Alabama so I chose Alabama Mike. The home of Newbern's Catfish and Bunyan's BBQ will always be home even though I have been gone from NW Alabama for a long time.

 

[BamaFan334]

BamaFan334 pretty much speaks for itself as being an Alabama fan, but the 334 is not Montgomery which I'm sure some folks think. When I was younger, AOL Instant Messenger was the cool thing going around, and I was like 11 and I really like Antawn Jamison, the basketball player from North Carolina. Vince Carter was my favorite player at the time, but variations of his name were taken, so I went with jamison334, 33 being his number, and 4 being the next closest available. So I have always used the 334 on the back end of my internet stuff since then. It's also funny with using "Bama", because I'm not a big fan of shorthand, so I always say Alabama, not Bama, and always type out Alabama, not Bama. Except this once I guess.

 

[PhillyGirl]

I'm from Philly and I'm a girl!

Made it on a whim when I first entered the fandom 6 1/2 years ago (how on earth has it been 6 years?!). I went down to Birmingham in January 2012 for tornado relief efforts and fell in love with everything Bama.

Ha, I remember when AIM was huge. It was what we did after school from about 5th or 6th grade to the end of high school. I still remember my two AIM names. One was DawkinsGirl20 (for Brian Dawkins). (guess I like using 'girl' in my usernames!)

I honestly miss those days. Away messages, profiles, buddy lists, 'warning' people for shits and giggles, it taking 20 minutes to send a photo, etc. Good times.

 

[sean]

came up with it quite a number of years ago.....maybe 2004?...2005?

it's obviously not BAMA-related in any way. i first used it while gaming and it stuck. i started using it on forums and other online-related stuff and now it's what i'm known as. it's even on my license plate on my truck.

what's funny, though, is everyone i tailgate with calls me this name. some of them don't even know my real name. and there were a couple people that thought this was my real name. and even though i've told most of them my real name, they continue to call me by this name.

I'm still not getting it. What do they call you, Skeeter?

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

I am old and a computer gaming geek. Mine is a tongue-in-cheek gamer/forum name I came up with when I was gaming with a bunch of younger folk. I just used it because I was familiar with it and it still makes me smile

 

[50+yeartidefan]

50+ should say it all...but yicks....it 60+ now... and for that have followed things on this forum.....i am avid Bama memorabilia collector...have been since i was a kid.in the 50s.... and i got to go to near every game from early to mid 60s.....( to draft time in late 60s...military not nfl)....and for last 15 years ( after retirement)
Roll tide

 

[bamachine]

I am pretty much bamachine everywhere. It is a portmanteau of Bama and machine(I am an IT guy).

 

[rick4bama]

My first user name was BamaRick, but someone else had it first. So then I chose the one I have now rick4bama.

 

[OldPlayer]

Just like @PhillyGirl , I'm old and a player.

NOT! I'm an old(er) Alabama player under Coach Bryant. He's been gone for 35 years so do the math.

 

[Tidestalker]

Tidestalker - I stalk the Tide. And it's creepy... Dark... original... The one and only

Make sure you swing by the Oasis and have a beer on your way past CotonDale.....

 

[JoshB]

Birdman was nickname in high school and I first signed up here in high school (really wish I could change it now) and Shaun Alexander was my all-time favorite player growing up, so I attached 37 to almost everything for a long time. Still to this day I use 37 in passwords alot.

We never used AIM, we always used MSN Messenger.

 

[Destiny's Child]

My name a play on words as it is the name of a musical group but it was mainly a joke about being Mike Price and Destiny's love child.

 

[TUSKtimes]

I guess I'm hooked on phonics. Given that I've been on SEC foreign soil a few times, it's important to have a handle that represents. TUSK as in tough and then whatever. Most of the time I've been TUSKtimes and registered that username on this site. Just couldn't get back in so went with TUSKstuff. If @TerryP wants to work his magic, I'll take the old one back. But I'm flexible.

 

[bamachine]

I am pretty much bamachine everywhere. It is a portmanteau of Bama and machine(I am an IT guy).

I should add, I used to be bamajama on the old CNN/SI boards, back in the late 90's. Found out too many others kept using the same name elsewhere, so came up with my current nom de plume.

 

[CmnRef]

My father played basketball at Bama and we shared a passion for the game. He gave me a car tag, Cmn Ref. It lasted through many vehicles over a quarter of a century. Seemed appropriate for this forum.
