Title: (Alabama Softball) Murphy: Ultimate goal is national title
Post by: pmull on August 25, 2011, 08:20:17 AM
Despite all of his success, Murphy does have one blip on his resume. He has yet to win a national championship. He has led the team to an SEC title and multiple 50-win seasons, but the ultimate prize for him is winning it all in Oklahoma City.

“You have to have just a little bit of luck when you get to Oklahoma City,” Murphy said. “I really do believe it’s going to happen.”

If he continues to have success, he will have many more opportunities to achieve his ultimate goal. At age 45, Murphy says he doesn’t see himself retiring anytime soon.

“I want to win a national championship, and then I can make that decision,” Murphy said. “I’m still pitching batting practice, and I’m still contributing to the team in practices, so I’m good to go for a few years. I don’t know if I can be Joe Pa, though.”

He sure missed a good chance last year. This is a new year though with a different mindset since Kelsi graduated, but you never know, Bama could be even stronger than last year, without Kelsi. Roll Tide!!
