The announcers pretty gay over UCLA and and OU. They just said UCLA finishes 3rd. LSU 2nd and Denver 4th. Shouldn’t they go in order and make it more about LSU finishing 2nd since that’s what this was really about. OU had this won 365 days ago.

The point is OU was so far ahead of the rest going to the last rotation that they had NO pressure at all, and you knew they would go out and stick vaults. The beam judges were biased. Plain and simple and set OU up midway into the competition.

Add a tenth to each routine and we still lose.
C'mon, this is like figure skating in the 1980s and 90s.

Maybe if Mary Lou Retton spoke out about the judging

It wouldn’t matter. It’s been y’all all season that certain teams get inflated scores and nothing is ever done. The announcers are even brave enough to question scores sometimes



If anyone could bring national attention to it, though, it’d be Mary Lou.

Am I mistaken somehow or did we just finish #2 in the entire country in a national sport and there are still po'd people here? Must be an LSU thing because they'll feel the same way about football. Let me tell you folks, and I've been everywhere, LSU is irrelevant outside of LA. Be very thankful we fight for national championships year round.

They overhauled scoring in olympic figure skating to make it more fair and transparent. They need to do the same to gymnastics.

Glad to see our fans bitch about being cheated by the judges in every sport. At least we are consistent across the board at every event.

Poor DD, always a bridesmaid, never the bride. Tough to beat OU. Seems like they been winning the title since the 1970's.

Zipper Head is a first, thanks for that. I preach the school wherever I go. Promise you, they don't know LSU most places I've been. But they know soccer, and thus, they know sports.

Mary Lou- call the judging out.

Woodward-call Emmert. Get it fixed for next season.

Come on dude. LSU is always listed among the most recognized brands in college sports. That’s just a stupid comment

357, how does LSU take that next step? Can the program find a way to consistently touch 198s? Is there anything we can copy from the UCLAs and the OUs in terms of designing routines and little changes here and there to nuanced stuff?

Last time we had our highest score in the finals, we finished 2nd.


That tells you all you need to know about the scoring
