I'm not a huge fan of Bama, but I do really like Patrick Murphy (as far as coaches go). We saw him at a showcase tournament back in November and I was trying really hard not to fangirl and stare. Still, I always like the energy he seems to help bring to his team. I just don't seem them taking out OU in Norman. DD18 aside, I have a love/hate relationship with OU. I'd like to see someone else in it, but Patty has done so much for the sport as a whole.
I guess we'll start seeing how this plays out on Thursday. Nebraska/Tennessee is the matchup I'm most curious to watch. Tech and FSU might also be good.
