Let me remind you: the year we won, we started on floor and had the highest rotation score on that event of the night. As long as our girls do their normal routines on floor to start the meet, no other team comes close to how well we can execute a floor rotation and the judges will have no choice but to penalize everyone else.
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
I like that order for us personally. It’s the order we won with 2 years ago and in my opinion, this is a better floor team from top to bottom than the 2024 team. Also, with it being our best event, we can get our momentum going early then keep throwing gas in the fire and close out meet with our 4 all americans. I think had we started on bars or beam, it could’ve opened ourselves up to falling victim to more deductions and nerves from the start and force us to have to claw our way back into it

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
Oh how I so wish Chio would’ve stuck that bar dismount
she didn’t go to college until after tokyo (2021-2022) when she was 20 then did 2 years at ucla before leaving to train for paris before coming back to finish school
Lily needs a 9.9325 or higher on floor to at least tie Chio for the title. Torrez needs a 9.775
the fact that chiles got the same beam score as konnor with a non stuck landing is BS
not worried about lily. faith on the other hand depends on beam and floor for her. she’s been inconsistent this year on beam and her first floor of the year could be a dealbreaker for her
Konnor’s beam title is gone too but right now the lead is being held by a Minnesota gymnast so i can’t be mad about that as long as she’s not matched or bested by chokelahoma
Got the kinks out today so we can dominate on Saturday

I see where Molly Brinkman is leaving LSU and entering the Portal. She stated that she has 4 years of competing left. I hope that she finds a home and does


I know this has already been discussed and it’s kind of old news now that we’re focusing on nationals but just my own personal take: I think it’s incredibly disrespectful and selfish of her to announce her transfer decision immediately following the team’s National berth. They seem a little bit distracted today and the media circus leading up to the meet seemed to be more interested in and focused on that vs the team that is getting ready for their biggest meet of the year. I understand she may have felt like she maybe wanted to go somewhere she could contribute more than she has this year at LSU but at least honor your teammates and team you’ve been with the last year ESPECIALLY with the message they chose for the theme of this season (Clear Path aka clearing the clutter in front of and around themselves leading to the path to the championship) and wait until their season is over before you announce your departure so they can focus on finishing the job FIRST before worrying about losing a teammate and a sister.
