I can agree with you as well. It really depends how much stock you put into tradition. Personally, I don't think recruits will give a flying frick who won the 1958 NC 30 years from now. Tradition is something that people care about and use as a recruiting tool when they are winning, but when you are losing, people don't care about. The one team in the SEC thats even close to matching Bama's success over the course of history, is UT, and from the looks of recruiting rankings over the last 5 years, that "tradition" pitch ain't working out for them as well as people on this board would expect. That is why I put alot more emphasis on 1)recruiting base 2)competition for recruits. Luckily for Alabama, the state has some great athletes.
