I was going to dispute this based on their vault issues but they handled it very well yesterday. And barring Florida, their top competitors aren't looking super crisp on the event either.
Okay, I like an orange leo, and I liked Florida's aside from the stupid back and the leg cut. Not a rabbit on the sleeve. I'm not sure what it was, but it definitely wasn't an upside down bunny.
UCLA showing up again with a normal back and a reasonable cut. Do they know what league they're in?
Ugh, I'd really like to watch today. I wonder if it would work with a vpn - iPlayer used to be pretty vpn proof, but I haven't tried in a while. Has anyone else?
I appreciate that Rutgers really committed. I think the ribbed fabric is fine. Illinois still sucks at photos though.
Open sides give me the heebie-jeebies.
I'd be okay with the front if they'd done the criss-cross with sparkles instead of actual strips of fabric. The pattern is nice enough, but it sort of gives bandages or something with the strips.
Aesthetically, I like a white leo, but I can understand why people take issue with them.
Would be nice if we knew the format the team comp will have in LA, as it would be in the teams' best interest to get practice on that format, and in USAG's interest to align to that format to maximise teams' interest in the event.
Thoughts:
1. It's March, lol
2. I'm still on the fence about this mixed team competition thing. I found the format a bit flat, but to be fair it would have benefited from watching live, with live scoring and people to chat with, rather than half awake on a feed that doesn't really show scores...
