Saban has repeatedly said that momentum only exists if you believe it exists.


Is perception not reality?

And my above statement is not contradictory. Human psychological reactions to their environment very much exist. That still isn't momentum as most folks see it. 


I guess that is where we really disagree. I think that most people perceive momentum as a collective human(team) psychological reaction to what happens in the game.


I think that it's an interesting argument, and you can't really measure such scientifically, but to say that it definitely does not exist is something I can't agree with.

That depends on your definition of "reality."

If you are lost in a desert on the brink of death from thirst, and you see a mirage oasis a short distance away, do you experience the same biochemical reaction to seeing actual water? Yes. Does your outlook on life immediately change in the same way as seeing actual water? Yes. Do you have sudden increase in energy as you run toward "salvation?" Yes. Is your experience in the moment indistinguishable from seeing actual water? Yes.

When you run over there, can you drink it? No. Are you still going to die? Yep.
