Re Alabama's overscoring, we've been at the receiving end of some generous scores too (see every single floor score of Olivia Gunter this season).

Was it a bad meet? Yes, but under the injury circumstances, I'm willing to write it off. By now, we all know where the weak links are. The bigger worry is that we have some non-Super Six worthy routines that are looking like lineup locks.

VT: Rau. But we don't really have a significantly better alternative so I'd stick with her and let her find her feet.

UB: It's a strong lineup but nothing spectacular. No one is capable of scoring a 10. Alyona's DLO needs to go. It's a glaring built-in deduction. Rivers doesn't even need her Tkatchev to get a 10 SV, and yet she does one.

BB: Dean. In yet another example of poor routine construction, they've ADDED a jump to her routine when she can't do a deduction-free jump. I'd prefer putting Rivers in the lineup.

FX: Gunter. That double arabian gives me a heart attack. She has a different landing issue every week. Sometimes she goes out of bounds, sometimes she's short. There's no consistency at all. IMO, she has been extremely lucky to get the scores she's been getting. A healthy Rivers, Ryan or Desiderio should displace her from the lineup.

I honestly think kennedi has lost some of her heart for gym. She doesn’t even look that excited to be out there sometimes. It’s kinda sad for her. I agree with everyone about routines. I think we’re just too thin to make it past regionals this year but hoping I’m wrong. I still love watching them!

LSU is being out coached. It seems as though other coaches are starting to take the “Oklahoma” route to maximize scores. However, we seem to just keep making our gymnast do more which causes built in deductions. Also, why does it seem none of our leaps (especially on beam) have improved over the years?
