Amy is quick! Patrick Murphy to LSU
Pride - Twitter runs constantly in the corner of my computer. I have all of the major news agencies and softball programs on it. Also, many of the major players tweet. I should have taken notice of who released the news. I believe it was LSU.
Conspiracy theory time:
The only way LSU got into the post-season tournament was because they swept...ALABAMA.
And then, Alabama gets seeded 2nd in the post-season tournament. Again, how does a team not win the SEC and was swept by a mediocre team end up getting seeded 2nd in the tournament? It is almost like someone who is very well known and well liked within softball's "good old gal's network" called in some favors.

I also remember reading, can't remember where, about LSU playing host for dinner to Alabama at the SEC tournament. There was a picture somewhere. . .
ESPN mentioned the dinner as well, along with the LSU girls giving water for the tornado victims. Came across more of a southern "pounding", where neighbors help neighbors by "pounding" on others doors and bring meals to those who have had some tough times.

I have met PM and my daughter has been to a number of his camps, and she will attend the upcoming summer camp at AL. I respect PM and still do, but am very puzzled at this move I think some where there is an underlying reason. I know that he made a comment when he hit freshman Jazz Lunsford for All-American Brittany Rogers and Jazz hit a grand slam in the CWS a few years ago. He made a comment that if Jazz had not came through he would have been fired and he seemed serious.
Was it money $300,000? Although it was reported AL offered to match the offer.
Was it better facilities? AL has a new hitting facility, beautiful field, great fans and support from the community. LSU I don’t know but I’m guessing it’s top notch as well.
Could it be he felt AL would not give the program what they need to take the next step? Which would be the first SEC College World Series Championship.
Some questions still to be answered. Will some of the players/signees follow him to LSU?
How will PM’s $300,000 salary effect other SB programs?
Who will AL hire as the next coach and how much will it cost them?
Can AL lure one of the PAC-10 or other big name coaches with the big money?
A lot still to be settled.

AL. can have Theresa Wilson, from U of AZ., as far as I am concerned.

Pat Murphy on returning to AL.
Scroll down and watch TideTV video.
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE - University of Alabama Official Athletic Site
Has anyone heard that pitching coach Vann Stuedeman was let go, I've heard a rummor, but she is still listed on the AL web sight as PC. I also recieved an email Sunday at 1230 PM, reference their summer softball camp and she was listed on the email as a sender.
