    He's the Quarterback of the Alabama University College Football team. They are known as The Crimson Tide. Alabama have won two National Titles recently which is a pretty big deal in the USA as College Football regularly gets 100,000+ crowds for games and is nationally televised.

    Perhaps that new KC lineup of eight (wasn't it?) will sell some 20 more copies or gig tickets on this alone.

    A cool collectible would be this magazine signed by members of King Crimson.

    I'm waiting for one of you to photoshop Fripp's head on his shoulders.

    I wonder how many SI readers even know what King Crimson references? It's a clever play on words no matter what. BTW, does anyone know why Alabama is called the Crimson Tide? I have no idea. Works well as a line in a Steely Dan song though. OK, now I have Decon Blue running through my brain....

    The name "Crimson Tide" is supposed to have first been used by Hugh Roberts, former sports editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald. He used "Crimson Tide" in describing an Alabama-Auburn game played in Birmingham in 1907, the last football contest between the two schools until 1948 when the series was resumed. 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." Zipp Newman, former sports editor of the Birmingham News, probably popularized the name more than any other writer.
