University of Ozello Women’s Sports
“The Sleepin’ Dogettes”

The UO Dogettes have been long recognized as a force in small college women’s athletics.  In fact, most years when the girls varsity team competes against the UO men’s team, the women are triumphant.  The men’s team simply can’t compete with the women due to the women’s overwhelming edge in both height and weight.

wear bras or something”.
