PHENIX CITY, Alabama-- Emily McCard is a proud mother, celebrating her son Crimson Tide's third birthday in June and now her daughter Alliegh Bama's first birthday.

The family made waves a year ago after coming out in support of baby Krimson Tyde.

Their own Crimson Tide likes to holler "roll tide" at passersby and he's helping to teach his little sister Alliegh to do the same.

McCard said that sometimes people tease her and the children's father Shane Broadhurst, but they don't let negativity detract from their pride in the tide.

When asked how often she gets teased, she replied "all the time, but I just laugh. I don't let negativity get to me," said McCard.

McCard said after the AL.com story ran last year about her family, people even posted their home address online.

But, McCard said, the good outweighs the bad.

"A lot of people love their names," she said.

Crimson and Alliegh have a brother named Preston that also participates in the revelry.

"He loves his brother and sister and he is always bragging to people about his brother and sister's names and always screaming roll tide to people," she said.

As for why Alabama is so important to the family, Broadhurst told Alabama Media Group that it's about family.

"Alabama football seems to keep us strong," Broadhurst said. "It keeps us focused on what we need to get done. It's more than football to us - it's a family. We're severely die-hard Alabama."
