[QUOTE="BamaFan334, post: 1418501, member: 19550"] The Yankees aren't good because Babe Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Maris, Bera, and others played there. They are good because they spend the most money in baseball and possess the most talent. Just like the Lakers, Celtics, Heat, and any other dynasties in sports. Just like Alabama spends the most in football, coaching, recruiting, facilities etc. None of the players care about the past at Alabama. It doesn't magically create some extra spirit inside of them to compete, it's the environment Saban, Bear, Stallings etc created. You're right, you can't explain it, because it doesn't exist. Alabama doesn't breed excellence, the coaching and it's staff do. Does Saban come to Alabama for $1M a year from the Dolphins because Alabama is guaranteeing him a Championship, good players, and that extra spirit that helps guys be better? No, he came because Mal Moore offered him more than he could refuse and then said you have everything at your disposal to get us back on track. He was doing the same at LSU before he left, so are you saying it's LSU's tradition that helped Saban win? We're going round and round here. You can keep believing in things that you can't express or explain, and I will keep believing in what I can explain and actually see. Teams don't run away because of the uniforms. [/QUOTE]
