me saying “her whack arse mom” was a reference to Lily’s mom being exposed for money laundering theft and fraud at their club gym during Lily’s freshman year and essentially stealing a bunch of money from a bunch of families and other gymnasts at the gym and promising that they would go towards travel funds for the gymnasts, but then keeping the funds all to herself or something along those lines. I don’t remember the specifics of it, but essentially a lot of people were led to believe that it was one of the reasons Tatum opted to commit to LSU instead of Oklahoma.

In a surprising turn of events, Joscelyn Roberson is in the Transfer Portal. Not sure if we have the space for her or if Jay would even target her but she, McClain, Lincoln and Chio would be QUITE the group looking ahead to LA 2028 but rumor has it she’s might have her sights set on UGA since her former elite coaches Laurent Landi and Cecile Canqueteau-Landi HOWEVER she does have the WCC connection at LSU with Amari and Zoe (both of which she seems to be very close with)

*2028

At least the one thing that the entire gymternet minus Oklahoma fans can collectively agree on is the fact that we were robbed at the championship today and that includes every single Gator fan

Can’t even be mad about that last bar routine other career for Blackson

she doesn’t have the difficulty though. Thats the issue. We’ve known for years that fulls don’t get rewarded at nationals the way they should but still put them in our lineup

It was very underscored though. She was better than Amari who should’ve had a 9.95+

Oklahoma isn’t sticking. If we hit and stick vaults, it’s over for them

You’re not hallucinating. The format changed in 2019

I believe by choice (if they followed the same format as every other post season meet then it’s based on NQS instead of by scores). I like this rotation order for us. We can start hot on our best event that no other team SHOULD outscore us on then keep that momentum rolling through the next 3 events

Right. I think the coaches wanted Emily Innes to just do two passes this year but she told them she wanted to do three because of the challenge. I'd have to have been like sorry girl, we're trying to win, you're going to do two.

As if they don’t have enough to complain about already, the general public within the gymternet would complain even more about us if Jay had Emily doing a 2 pass routine (in the same way we do for OU’s double like/front though to double tuck routines) for the sheer fact that her passes are not up to the difficulty level that’s the same as Chio’s is or Aleah’s was. She’d need to open with a more difficult non-twisting e pass which she doesn’t have in her arsenal, or do a cartwheel to back layout step out (a la Coen) somewhere in her routine which for me personally waters down the routine even further and makes it look more like a lvl 8/9 routine vs up to the level in NCAA type routine to fulfill the backwards tumbling requirements. I excuse it with Bryant because she opened with a double front but that’s basically what oklahoma does and we complain non stop about their boring basic cookie cutter routines year after year
