357, love coming to see this every week, I really appreciate it.
I did want to ask about routine difficulty. We both know that LSU loves to be the team with the toughest routines in the Nation, which is a blessing and a curse. Watching Ashlyn Kirby is extreme evidence of that because she does not have overly difficult passes and can get you started with 9.85 - 9.875 consistently out of the gate. Do you ever see D.D. turning down some of the difficulty in the routines in order to achieve consistency like OU?

On vault, hell no we will need to continue to push for difficulty.
Beam LSU has nice balance of difficulty. Its not too over the top but the reason DD switched to such difficulty recently is because before we were hammered in the post season for lack of it.
Floor, LSU does need the E level passes. We need scores to start from a 10.0 if possible. Believe it or not, a lot of times judges are much more lenient on routines that have way more difficulty. OU IMO was overscored a bit last year. Florida and UCLA had routines just as easy and they were hammered much more. It makes no sense, which is why the Florida coach bitched to the NCAA about it.
Difficulty the last four 5 years is also what has made LSU a top 3 team. Its difficult for others to maximize their scores to keep up with LSU's
