To Answer your question. Lore dates the history of "War Eagle" back to the 1892 game between AU and UGA. Auburn obtained its first live eagle mascot in 1930.
I don't know when Bama started saying roll tide, but I think it was something about a president allegedly making a statement about the team looking like a crimson tide rolling down the field.
ETA: Anyway you could link a recording of yourself saying the word "eagle?" My curiosity is piqued.

True, forgot about that bet.
This bet is a win win for all other 12 fanbases.

The mascot use can be traced to an Atlanta sports writer. But there's also the legend that the 1926 Rose Bowl team used a moving company to travel west. The mascot on the trunks was an elephant.

There should be a limit on threads a user can start in one day. Say 3.

Anybody know a little more about roll tide's origins?

During the Stone Age, the earliest War Eagle and Roll Tide events were preserved.
In now what is present-day Belgium, a large Teradactyl Eagle tooth estimated to date from the Pleistocene Epoch, (about 10,000 years ago), was discovered in 1972 in a cave under an ancient stash of what is believed to be the first form of
bathroom tissue.
On one of the walls of the cave, a crude message seemingly chiseled with flint, outlined a large "W D E." Thin strands of softened tree bark faintly colored in a chalky orange and blue hue were also found. These may have been the first pom-poms. Curiously, the tree used to harvest the bark was found to have traces of an early herbicide poison near the roots.
More recently, In December of 2010, in the western European hamlet of Negumpchok in what is now central Poland, ancient relics from the Neanderthal era of approxmately 30,000 years were discovered on the outskirts of town near a detergent factory.
Geologists discovered another cave large enough for a mastadon or wooly mammoth to enter, and
the skull of a Neanderthal man, believed to be about 48 years old, with a strange form of woven head covering in very thin black and white interlocking stripes.
Like in the Belgium discovery, this ancient family
also seemed to have a stash of early crude
bathroom tissue in their dwelling, but apparently had used it as some sort of body ornament.
Also found were an early form of teabag and a smattering of undeterminable symbols that most closely resembled a script 'A' on the floor.

Its part of the fight song, written in the 20's, I think.
Rollbamaroll.com speculates it may have come from an old sea song called "Roll Alabama Roll" about the CSS Alabama, but who knows.

It's too late. Your credibility is gone and your thread is ruined. You come in here, insulting Alabama and Auburn fans, claiming they are illiterate, and then make a gigantic mistake.
The first chance you get you should probably kill yourself. Because if you can't do something as easy as make a troll thread, then it's quite obvious that you aren't a productive citizen in whatever shithole you presently reside in.
Do us all a favor and OD on something painful. But please remember to send us all invites to your funeral first. I love eating popcorn at those.
