Well we sucked this year

Yeah, should be improved next year. didn't help that OU missed Jason Carter the whole year.

Yeah but this is the worst OU team in a long time. At least the girls team and Doseck are playing better

Agreed, the girls team is playing better, think they'll win the MAC tourny? I know they can, but don't know if they will.
