I agree. We have the resources to be better than most anyone out there. We just aren't

Because it isn't just about Resources. Culture plays a big role in a program's success. And I'm not talking about the culture a head coach brings in. Tht's a different subject altogether.

The culture of the whole program and the fanbase. Nick Saban has a way of doing things, and it's extremely effective. But I honestly believe that if he had never left LSU, he wouldn't have been as successful as he has been at Bama. Because, truthfully, his way of doing things and his culture he likes to live by is better suited for a place like Bama than a place like LSU. Our programs are their own beings, and only work for us.

Aggy has no identity. They try to mimic those that they view as their betters, in the hope to one day be better than them. That's why they will always fail.

Aggy rides Bama's coattails, and tries to be like Bama (like they used to do with Texas) and mimic them in the hopes it will make them successful. Hasn't worked yet, and never will.

LSU is not a better program historically than Bama in any way, shape, or form. But we are the closest the SEC has to counterweight.

While we would love to replace Bama as the top dog, we don't want to be Bama. Bama is the strict Patriarch who runs his house like a machine using strict rules and policies.

LSU is the black-sheep uncle who is always drunk at the family BBQ, dancing and acting a fool. You know--having a good time and being the life of the party.

It may not be as successful, but it works for us and has brought us some success.
