Click here for linkI guess some thinks it was a good year. I don't. I do not know what happen to our girl's playing for championships. RTR!
We are playing for championships. We won our regional and we are two wins from the WCWS. We lost a game we should have won yesterday. This not one of our better teams. No one who has watched them play would say that. The bar for Alabama Softball is high. Coach Murphy became head coach in 1999 (year 3 for the program). We have made the NCAA Tournament every year. The longest streak in the country. Super Regionals started in 2005. We have made the Supers all but one year. We have played in more Supers than any other team. We have played in 14 WCWS. We have made it to the WCWS 3 out of the last 4 years (not counting Covid year). We are one of the top programs in the country year in and year out.
I do not expect to beat UT in the next two games. Yes it will be disappointing to not make the WCWS. I do not think it is accurate to say the program is in decline and, in my opinion, it would be crazy to consider a head coaching change.
We need to improve our hitting. We have a team full of attractive young women. While I like that we need a few big boned girls that can hit with power.
I hope the team catches fire today and extends their season. It is a long shot, but anything is possible.
Roll Tide!
