TODAY IS THE DAY

Tonight was the first time I've ever heard an entire arena boo the judges when scores came up. It happened on Price's floor scores because 2 judges gave her 9.85....I mean the entire arrna booed. It was surreal

I was shocked to see her scores at the end. What an incredible career for her.

Someone is a fall away from first to last in Super Six

Never say never


I feel a bit more optimistic for some reason this year. It feels like we have so much to build on, on every event. Last year we literally dumped all the energy into the semi finals, and it was very difficult for us to put the same performance on the floor the next day.

LSU starts on bars today, now this is where LSU needs to blow this shite out of the water and put the pressure on and ride the momentum. I would like to see LSU above a 49.500 to start. On beam I feel like everyone was off yesterday and that our best performances have yet to come. Desiderio's routine was such a fluke, she never came close to coming off all year. I think she will rebound today and put up a nice score for us. But how about Campbell, what a veteran she was. Now that is a routine that will be 9.9+ over the next 4 years.

Still feel like on floor we still werent near our best, half the lineup had small miscues. Desiderio's floor routine was phenomenal, not sure how she can't scrape a 9.9. Myia and Edney were fantastic as well.

But we will need to stick vaults to end the meet. The scores on vault seem to be pretty harsh if you don't stick the vault

Same with UCLA, some of the floor and beam scores are laughable

I just hope everyone is scored fairly later on today

And that people are scored on the performance, not on the name, not due to the name on the leotard, not by the position in the lineup but because they earned it. By far the greatest issue in college gymnastics

I think OU definitely was the best team of all teams in the semi finals yesterday, I just don't think they were .500 better than everyone else. We shall see later

The big thing to me will be judges throwing quality scores for quality routines, regardless where they are in the lineup! If Erin and Sami gets fair scores and the ladies can truly build, they have a chance.
