Always man!


So this summer, three coaches from SEC schools (anonymously) submitted a proposal for the NCAA to require teams to up the difficult to earn a 10.0 start value. I can bet 1000000% DD would be one of them, as well as Florida coach.

Its ridiculously easy for people to have a 10.0 start value now. You can literally just walk across a beam and still have a 10.0 value


LSU does more difficulty than essentially anyone else. LSU leads the nation in difficulty on vault, beam and floor. We are 3rd on bars.

Florida and Bama also are in the mix.


UCLA who I dislike, I have to respect that they do put out really difficult routines like LSU.


OU essentially does routines that are ridiculously basic and easy for someone at this level. Most beam routines specifically are a joke. There is ZERO rhythm of flow to them and its never deducted for whatever reason.

I think thats why as of late a lot of coaches around the country are a bit irritated with OU. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic but they do ridiculously easy routines for a college level routine

You look at the scoring OU receives its a joke too, and this occurs every year.


I am hopeful we can finally win it soon, possibly this year.

Why don't the other schools tone down their routines to similar to Oklahoma if they are not getting any benefit from the more difficult?
