Alabama wants everything it does to be a notch above what everybody else does.
And as if winning national championships every year wasn't enough to attract top recruits to Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban and Co. had to go and create one of the most magnificent football facilities in the NCAA.
As part of a $9 million renovation, which includes a state-of-the-art weight room that opened in February, the Crimson Tide are close to having a plush new locker room (with a waterfall).
The pictures below show several vantage points. One is of a mural of former Alabama players like Trent Richardson, Cornelius Bennett, Mark Barron and Mark Ingram ready to run out of the tunnel and onto the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
There's also a good one of a room with blown up pictures of all of Alabama's national title rings with a giant neon "script A" embedded in the ceiling.
Take a look for yourself here.
