As I sat today thinking back to last night's big victory for the softball team I was just overwhelmed with the words Tide Pride. Most folks think of this as a ticket program at the university and really that's actually what it is. But as I thought back to what the look on the faces of the Oklahoma players, during the brief rain delay as they sat in the dugout, the words Tide Pride came to mind. As the Bama players, coaches, and fans were standing in the rain and screaming roll tides that I believe could be heard all the way to Norman, the words Tide Pride were more that just a ticket program. I have seen these voices change football and basketball games before and I have seen it at some of bama's softball games but not like last night.
As the yells grew louder with more intensity, I realize now that they were challenging not just Oklahoma but the NCAA reprentatives as well to settle this game on the field and not by some rules. This was the pride of all of the Bama suporters and players/coaches and this was what Tide Pride actually is, the heart and soul of the Bama nation and not a ticket program.
There's not a better sports program in the nation right now, because TIDE PRIDE rules college sports and there's more to come. Roll Tide!!

back in the day I remember things and feelings like you just described
but unlike you , we were at a loss for words for it
