I am so excited about the way the Ladies played that I'm out of breath.
Oh MY!
The defense was just absolutely great! They just fought and fought and wouldn't give up. We should all be as pleased as punch that the ladies are upholding tOSU lots better than the men are.
I think maybe we should start cheering more for the ladies than we do for the men.
Now remember that thursday the tourny starts and I want to see a lot of cheering and support.
