I’m DEAD: Jayda, Tia, back to back. They’re another level right now. Okay, maybe always.

OU Softball needs to get that softball stadium built asap, and it needs 15K seats. It’s ridiculous to have that many people sitting outside of the stadium to watch the best team in the Country.

Thank you @OU_Softball for wearing the orange ribbons to bring awareness to leukemia. Yes, I’m crying because of it. I’m a crier, that’s what I do.
