This is the main thing I hate about their routines. Sure they look fun but at the same time they make sure to bounce on every landing so they dont have the chance to miss a stick. But then again thats the type of gymnasts UCLA and OU recruit.

Vault has to start with some stuck landings... I do not care how we get there, but a 98.75 minimum at the halfway point is big.

Every Routine is big, but

On Vault - Ruby and Edwards need to stick those 1.5
On Bars - Sami and Ferrer need to start strong to get us to the last three, who are all capable of unreal scores
On Beam - ALL SOPHOMORES
On Floor - Every Damn Body needs to hit.

DD will probably let Christina warm up Floor, but the leash is extremely short.

Right after the first week of the season, I spoke to our daughters gymnastics instructor (ex LSU gymnast) about this very issue and she said that college scoring is alot different that elite level scoring. Judges allow the bouncing into the next move bc they want fan enjoyment. She said college scoring compared to junior olympic scoring is worlds apart from how critical each subtle wrong move is deducted.
And when I asked why LSU hasnt used that to their advantage, she said that LSU doesn’t recruit girls that fit that type of routine.

It has nothing to do with the recruits, all of them can do stag jumps and other leaps out passes. LSU just doesn't incorporate that into their floor routines.

Its all incorporation of skills into routines and how they choreograph

There's a baseball game on ESPNU that is clearly going to run over. Does anyone know what channel the gymnastics will start if this game does in fact run over.

My guess would be ESPNEWS and/or WatchESPN.

Or they might give the baseball game the boot to ESPNEWS since this is a national championship and that game is just a routine conference game. We will see

I doubt it but I've been told that I was once wrong before about something.

Seeing how they didn’t give the Alabama Florida softball game the boot yesterday before the 2nd semifinal, I doubt they’ll do that today. ESPN doesn’t prioritize gymnastics.
