    @ETGator1
    What is your opinion about not accepting the Sprouts meet ( I think that was what it was called)

    I was going to look up OU's schedule later, but I can answer this now. I'm glad UF rejected the invitation. Like in softball, Oklahoma City is basically a home meet for the Sooners which is where the meet is this year. UF is scheduled to perform at Oklahoma as part of our SEC schedule. No need to face that burden twice. LSU on the other hand has OU coming to Baton Rouge, sort of like a home and away situation.

    Looking ahead, UF will be even more loaded next season so I hope UF will choose to accept if invited again so long as the meet isn't in Oklahoma City.

    As you can tell, I don't much like Oklahoma for all of the positively biased coverage they get from the media, College Gym News at the top of the list.

    Victoria was flagged for being out of bounds just before she started her first tumbling pass. The yellow flag went up and was reported to the head judge after Victoria completed her routine. I watched the replay of the meet, and her left heel was maybe a centimeter over the line.

    I disagreed with you 2 years ago arguing that CJR was right. I do not disagree this year. Her choices of who was participating and in what position were baffling. Your comments seem spot on to me.

    Did you agree with the 9.75 score? Seems excessive if the heel barely out is a .1 deduction.

    Like the stats page previously used. You click on the gymnasts score to see both judge scores.

    So....is there a way to maybe swap the equipment around to make each rotation move to the next nearest station still keeping the floor on the end and $ seats as is? It was just very congested especially with 4 teams but even in a dual it had issues. There wasn't even a line of sight on some apparatus between score table and athlete as we had other people relaying the signal to start i just didn't like tge layout at all and hopefully it can be tweaked a little

    Yes, I agree with the 9.85 score. She had a slight hesitation between her double front and the leap on her first tumbling pass, and the judges will always deduct for a hesitation. She had her usual gorgeous routine after that first pass. She is an exquisite dancer, and her routine highlights her dancing ability.

    I heard that the NCAA and TV dictated the equipment layout. However, I also think money entered into the equation - so take your pick for the reason.
