Oregon softball coach Mike White asked Oklahoma fans for forgiveness.
Considering the Sooners didn't qualify for this year's Women's College World Series, coaches were asked at a Wednesday news conference to make the case for local fans to jump on their bandwagon.
Alabama coach Patrick Murphy -- whose Crimson Tide squad eliminated OU in last week's Super Regional -- noted that Sooner fans already have the right colors to become temporary Bama fans.
Other coaches said intelligent OU fans will just appreciate good softball, regardless of who wins.
But White stole the show when he brought up a bad memory for Sooner fans.
