58 home runs while OU hits 115+ every year. That. Does. Not. Win.
No fricking shite, OU has won the last 4 national championships. Thanks for stating the obvious.

We're .500 in the SEC the last three years. Since 2015 we've won one regular season SEC Championship and one SEC Tournament championship. And don't forget that the 2022 and 2023 SEC Softball Players of the Year both transferred out from Alabama. Murph is washed. Period.
That is a legitimate gripe. The COVID class not panning out really hurt us for several years. Our roster is only starting to recover. Murphy is not washed. He’s still recruiting well, team improved over the year, and still having postseason successful. He’s doing a great job with the resources he is given.
If you can name an available coach that would be a clear upgrade, I want to hear it. Otherwise, stop trolling.

No he’s not. Stop carrying his water. We need fresh blood.

Does fresh blood come with a 1 million dollar NIL fund? Cause that’s what we need to compete with Oklahoma.

When football teams started beating Alabama with mobile QBs running hurry up, RPO offenses Nick Saban started recruiting those guys and hired Lane Kiffin to modernize his offense. Murphy held on to the same staff for years and has recruited the same style players he always has recruited. Five years now of OU dominating . Let's do more stat breakdowns then.
OU has six girls that have hit 11 or more home runs this year. Alabama had one hit double digits.
2024 OU had seven girls hit double digit home runs. Alabama's HR leader hit 7.
2023 OU had five girls in double digits and two more at 9. Alabama had one hit sixteen and then two hit eight.
2022 OU had six girls in double digits. Alabama's HR leader hit ten.
2021 OU had seven girls in double digits and two more at nine while Alabama's leader hit thirteen , eight, six, then three. So our top four girls hit 30 combined HRs while OU had three girls hit 24+.
OU has given you a blueprint on how to win big and we don't do it.
Oh yeah he went out and recruited a HR hitter in the transfer portal last year right? She hit 17 and 19 HRs her first two years. How many did she hit this year at Alabama? Seven. And her batting average dropped to .302 after hitting .421 as a freshman and .324 as a sophomore.

We can’t compete in the SEC. He is a lousy coach. He can’t develop players. Terrible in game coach. Stop defending him.

And let's get away from offense for a minute. Let's look at 2020. In 2019 Alabama went 60-10, won the SEC by four games at 18-6. Lost to Florida 2-1 in the tournament championship game but then shut out all three opponents in the regional and beat Kentucky 2 games to 0 in the Supers and went 3-2 in the WCWS. Almost everyone returned in 2020. One preseason poll had us #1 and the rest had us #2. How did that season start? First week we went 1-3. After two weeks we were 4-5. When Covid shut everything down we were 14-8 and 2-1 in the SEC. From 60-10 to eight loses after the first weekend of conference play? Screw that. No one talks about that anymore. Murph has lost his fastball, period.

Dumb question maybe and I don’t watch every game but I’ve seen a fair share of conference games this year.
Is anyone else getting to OKC by having a bell cow pitcher that you throw incessantly and a small ball, slap hitting offense? Because if there is, I haven’t seen them. Murphy is great at obtaining NC level pitching. He sucks arse at recruiting and developing hitters. He wants to win every game 3-1 and you just can’t do it that way anymore.
I never will forget the super vs Hawaii in 2010 that was a look at the future. Bama threw the stud pitcher against Hawaii in game 1. The Rainbows were heavily tilted towards offense and hit 158 home runs that year. One girl had 30 on the season. The Bama pitcher shut them down and we won the game 8-0. But the Hawaii bats woke up and they won game two 8-7 and then hit a walk off 2 run shot with two outs and won the trip to OKC 5-4.
Hawaii’s game plan still wins, Murphy’s doesn’t. Just sayin’

Lmao Nick Saban this, Nick Saban that. Spoiler, there’s only one Nick Saban. You’re going to be miserable for the rest of your life if you compare everyone to him.

LMFAO. Yeah bro, we just refuse to sign 5-6 top 10 recruits every year. If it’s so easy then why isn’t every team doing it?
You people are all talk. I bet you don’t contribute a single cent to Yea Alabama yet you have the gall to bitch about the team you’re supposedly a fan of.

Oh, does it? They haven’t even made the NCAA tournament since 2013

I said their gameplan wins, not Hawaii wins.

You can’t logically debate with this idiot. He’s either a softball season ticket holder or had a daughter play for Murphy at one point. Blinders are on.

One of the reasons guys like Nick Saban (and Bear Bryant) were so successful for so long is that they evolved with the game. Sports are littered with guys that won a singular championship (maybe two) but refused to adapt. Sure they may still win a lot of games, but they don't win championships. Look at Dabo. Made the playoffs this year because of the expanded playoff but he hasn't adjusted to the new college football. Jim Tressel is another one. He still won plenty of B1G championships after 2002 and played in a couple of more title games, but he didn't evolve with the game. That's what Murphy is right now. He clearly won't adjust and still favors slap hitters over power.
Now that the WCWS is set let's look at how those teams did power wise this year (only includes games through Friday 5/23)
2.) Oklahoma 111
3.) Florida 105
6.) Texas 85
7.) Tennessee 67
9.) UCLA 93
12.) Texas Tech 59
16.) Oregon 83
.) Ole Miss 65
Offense wins in 2025. UCLA is broke. Like...broke. You want me to believe they were able to hit 93 home runs because of NIL? GTFO man. They hit them because those are the players their coach recruits

Damn. Figured she was gone . Lost my memory here but who was the SS who was our best bat that transferred last year ? How did she do?

Kenleigh Cahalan. I think she started at SS for Florida but got moved to 3rd base. Salen was a good replacement IMO.

What she really meant. He can’t coach for shite. Totally wasting my time and any chance of development. Good players have masked his ineptitude during the years. Because of the talent that came here, he’s been able to bullshite people that he could actually coach. They’ll never win with him. Biggest regret is I wasted a year of my career.

Her BF just graduated from HS. I suspect she’ll follow him.
