Thanks TigerBait55. I know a lot of us don't follow women's gymnastics but it would be great to see them win a natty.

I like our group. I wonder when they will announce the rotation order.

Also see in national rankings that we are reseeded 2nd after Regionals...does anyone know if this will affect the rotation position....looking, but can't find it

Just a guess here... but looking at the seedings for our regional, UGA was #2 and had the rotation of beam, bye, floor, vault, bye, bars. If they do it the same way at the semifinal, that should be our rotation.

Beam being our first rotation scares the shite out of me.

I think it is different because the draw at Regionals was a "random" draw, but we will see. However, if they start of Beam....oh boy.

Same here... I don't like having beam first or last. Has to happen to someone, though.

Only positive is if we do good on beam, I think that puts us at the best position the rest the meet.

I read on another board that the rotation order will be announced on www.ncaa.com/wgymnastics but I don't know when...hopefully soon!

ETA: UCLA just tweeted that they begin on bars...hopefully we find out shortly...

Crazy how Bama doesn't have one SEC team in their grouping

If these ladies stay on the beam, they would be tough to beat. Their bars rotation looked really good, to say they went 2nd last week. I truthfully believe if they can advance to Super Six, they have a tremendous opportunity to bring it home.

To be honest, I would prefer the first session for our girls. Auburn, UGA, and Stanford are all great teams, but consistency lacks. Stanford is ranked 18th, but do not be fooled, they have a really good team. Stay on Beam and Bars, then the rest will take care of itself.

There is actually a big drop off after LSU and UF

Auburn is good but they definitely shouldn't beat either LSU or Florida unless one of us have a mental breakdown on an event.

TBH I think we are set up to go to super six if we can manage beam. If we do that, we are in.

Also keep in mind people, the judging is much harsher in the post season. We head the second highest regional score only behind OU. We actually would have matched their score if we didn't have a couple uncharacteristic miscues.

So we actually are in pretty good position.

Rotation orders are out, and once again LSU starts on a bye before bars.... Love that draw!
