Ya OU and LSU were like, you guys havent had a home meet yet, so lets go a little crazy and throw a party for your scores.

Jamison is finally healthy. They have talent. A nice mix of Jr-Sr and Fresh-soph. I really believe in that staff. And they recruit well. Right now I would slot them in the 4th SEC evening spot. There was a lot of detris that needed to be cleaned from Duckworth regime.

Agreed. Bama looks complete. And they are at home. I think the edge is to Bama even if it wasnt at home. I still think Mizzou lost too many high value contributors. Also interested in Mich St. I really expected them to look better than they have. Maybe its just the "slow climb" to...

Bama is for real. I am not completely sold on Georgia, but they are definitely on an upward trajectory. I think the funner argument is who is the bottom in the SEC.

Not a fan

fine work!

Ya things got a little loose at the end of the meet

Utah is my darkhorse. They did not lose that much scoring and have some good new pieces that can help. The core of their scoring is back from last year and more experienced. LSU just has too much to make up with sooo many new faces. Im sorry, you dont just replace two of the greatest...

Yessss! Despite all the whining and moaning about NCAA gymnastics, I am very excited for it to be back! Get to see some intriguing teams right off the bat!

I totally understand what you are saying, and agree with it. However in this case, I know what happened and this is someone using the claim of abuse to overlook their actions. There was no love lost between the coaching staff and the athletes, but not abuse

This is part of the problem with these things. What determines a hostile environment? Because one person says it was a hostile environment? What happens when that person presents one version of events, while they genuinely believe are true, but are completely different from all the others?

Lol, do you know what I know? For sure, she may have felt she was given an unfair shake. My issue with stuff like this is that it takes away from other gymnasts in other situations who are genuinely being abused to their detriment and danger. What happened with Howard is not abuse in this...

I have heard plenty about Howard that creates more questions about allegations. She is not unsullied in this story.

Eh, a little sensationalized writing. I think only the most naive truly believe that gymnastics or any sport played at a high level is all unicorns and rainbows. No doubt, like any sport, when there is a power dynamic of coach/athlete, and the stakes are high, with job security, there are...

This is exactly why I think the focus should be more on judging than on difficulty. Doing things to help judges judge more effectively will have more of an impact on creating differentiation between athletes and teams while keeping the sport accessible and competitive. More oversight and...
