Please? Her gymnastics would be so much prettier..and maybe I can stomach the automatic 9.95 plus olympic bonus..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-67358553177540466422013-04-21T06:04:01.513-07:002013-04-21T06:04:01.513-07:00I disagree that scoring was consistent across team...I disagree that scoring was consistent across teams on each event. On vault for example, Brittany Rogers got a measly 9.875 for Y1.5 stuck cold, while other teams got 9.9 or higher for Yfulls with hops/shuffles. Scoring also definitely escalated through the course of the meet. FLA definitely benefited from this - some of their bars scores were visibly inflated. Basically, scoring was all over the place, from team to team, event to event, and even gymnast to gymnast on the same event for the same team. So disappointing - judging this poor really limits my enjoyment of the sport, as it becomes all about the judges rather than the gymnasts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-48967129929741629922013-04-21T05:50:15.570-07:002013-04-21T05:50:15.570-07:00Awesome live blog, Catty!

The sheer nature of the floor scores (Multiple 9.900s for Florida, 9.875 for DeMeo with a huge step on her double arabian) will be debated for some time, but the ranking appeared to be ultimately accurate even if the scores were not always. Multiple teams were tight in the first event and missed an opportunity. Though Florida counted a fall, they had huge scores by other gymnasts on beam, and were aided immensely by hops and steps by other teams who left the door wide open. There was never enough of a separation to keep Florida entirely out of it. Oklahoma's weakest performance was on a tightly scored even and that ultimately cost them the meet. Scaman's steps on vault were particularly unfortunate, as she stuck that vault time and time again in Level 10. <br /><br />As we leave this meet, we can congratulate all six teams for really upping their game this year. There were no losers in this final. Every team ended the meet having exceeding what was thought to be their potential. Just as Florida's entering of the victory circle appeared inevitable, it will not be long before the Oklahoma Sooners (and likely LSU) are on that list. <br /><br />And please, someone hammer home that while the taped boob, open back leotards may look stunning on herself and Vanessa, they are not flattering to girls who eat three square meals a day.

The vault scoring was rather tight, while floor was anything but. The good thing was that the judging of each event was rather consistent from team to team. One of the great issues with the judging was that the unwritten rules during the post season continue to be different than the rules during the regular season. The judges rewarded easier difficulty throughout the season. The level of difficulty went down this year, yet the scores became higher and higher. This is acceptable if it is consistent. Unfortunately, it sends the wrong message. Last year, many felt difficulty was not aptly rewarded. The double arabians were hit hard on floor. This year, Florida was rewarded for their difficulty and Oklahoma was judged tightly for having a routine with two passes and other routines with lower levels of difficulty. There is nothing inherently wrong with judges rewarding the overall difficulty, but it needs to be consistent so that teams can be adequately prepared for the post season. <br /><br />Oklahoma was an absolutely fantastic team. They will need to add a bit of difficulty on floor if they hope to content next year. Breaking into the winner's circle is more challenging than repeating in NCAA gymnastics. NCAA gymnastics is the one sport where winning a first title is more difficult than repeating. With the addition of Wofford, they should have an elite star who performs big beautiful gymnastics cleanly, with a name, with execution, who is capable of going 9.95+ on multiple events.<br /><br />For UCLA, they did about as well as they could expect given their season. It appeared that they would be in it, but the overall season played out. Ultimately, they will be much stronger next year. Though they will lose Zam and gain back two stars in Lee and Peszek, they will be stronger because the overall core of the team was tested and ultimately responded by upping their level of competitive performance. <br /><br />For Alabama, the most shocking thing was not that they had errors. They have seemed to lack a bit of the sheer force and energy needed to drive home the title at times this season. They have talent and performed to the utmost of their ability. Unfortunately, the gymnasts who were stars on night one appeared tentative on night two and vice versa. The team was not in sync in terms of the same girls performing well every night.<br /><br />The fresh start for Georgia paid off in dividends. When anything shy of an SEC or NCAA title is going to be seen as an underachievement for a new coach and crop of recruits, it can create a cloud of negativity that needs to be gotten rid of. Jay Clark has proven time and again that he is a fine coach. He may not have been the right coach for Georgia at that time, but he will ultimately continue to be a fine coach and likely be a fine head coach of his own program. It is a shame that Noel Couch was injured the year that Worley and Tanella finally performed up to the level they were recruited to perform at. This Georgia team showed moments of greatness on multiple events, but they rarely ever showed championship level performances on all four events at the same time. They do appear to be building and should continue to have a modicum of success.<br /><br />LSU appears to be building and will likely be even stronger next season. They do need more finesse and 'skill' type gymnasts. The biggest asset to UF is that they finally recruited girls with the skill and finesse to execute bars and beam. Johnson, Sloan and M. Caquatto proved invaluable time and time again this year. They were able to match what King, Dickerson and Hunter provided on floor and vault. The balance is difficult to achieve, but it is something that Oklahoma and LSU lacked this year and ultimately proved to be their undoing. <br /><br /><br /><br />OlympicEffecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708554152461551887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-25318887015656380422013-04-20T18:15:53.032-07:002013-04-20T18:15:53.032-07:00They won't me into the 100s section as I am ju...They won't me into the 100s section as I am just a lowly general admission ticket holder...Tried to get in the Florida section earlier...will try after the last rotation!Dame Judinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-73426612600968646692013-04-20T17:46:33.184-07:002013-04-20T17:46:33.184-07:00(previous anonymous commenter from before)
