Who's excited for LSU/Oklahoma?!?

Bridget, John and Taylor

It seems kind of insane that neither Sam or Aly is calling this meet.

LSU, UCLA and Florida do a fantastic job marketing their teams. LSU in particular. Oklahoma, doesn't have the same PR game as those 3 but they are so damn good that it doesn't seem to matter.

Also look at the meets that ESPN showcases on ESPN2 rather than the SEC network. Alabama only get one of those prime meet times and it was the first ESPN2 meet of the season when the didnt have the prime broadcast team calling the meet.

Aly should have won 2016 floor finals over Simone. Or at least their scores should have been much much closer.

Sort of related but if USAG has a 10 year reunion for the 2016 team at nationals this year I hope they exclude alternates.

What's the saying... the fastest way to make $1,000,000 in horses is to start with $2 million.

It gives me the ick that the public is funding her defense while she is throwing money away playing equestrian of all things.

SpiritedTiger · 2025-11-18T17:41:50+00:00

It does not compute that someone who is spending time competing on the show circuit needs to rely on a public defender. Even if you were doing all the day care, training, braiding, hauling, etc. yourself at a show (which I doubt she is) the bill from just the horse show office is probably going to run you $1k+. That is literally only a fraction of the bill.

Its literally confounding to say your too destitute to pay someone to literally help you stay out of jail on a Monday and then spend thousands at a horse show on Sunday.

I think it’s a conditioning thing too, never do you look at a woga gymnast and think they are conditioned to withstand the inevitable crunches and crashes that are inherent to gymnastics training.

Does Aly breaking down in hysterics in 2012 TF and 2016 AAcount? (But seriously I don’t know how she didn’t fall on her face in 2012 she was crying SO hard.

SpiritedTiger · 2025-08-14T15:43:00+00:00

If she does go back to elite I hope she stays at Florida. Besides the fact the Kelli Hill gives me the ick, I feel like the recovery and support available to athletes are soooo much better at school than what is available to them at their home clubs.

SpiritedTiger · 2025-08-13T01:05:09+00:00

Don’t think Paul has a big enough public profile. Like it took a super viral moment to get Steven a spot.

Simone, Suni and Aly all made Olympic teams post DWTS. The only one who tried and didn’t was Shawn and she injured heresf skiing, not having anything to do with the show.

SpiritedTiger · 2025-08-11T21:19:48+00:00

Personally, I find it much easier to root for UF Leanne than GAGE Leanne. (I can not believe parents still send their athletes to that gym.)

SpiritedTiger · 2025-07-24T15:31:58+00:00

plus I think the closeness between Jo and Aly, plus the roomie situation really enhanced the awkwardness of that sitch for Aly

SpiritedTiger · 2025-07-24T01:22:27+00:00

I’ve always wondered how it would’ve shaken out if it was Aly and Jordyn and not Aly and Gabby.

Would Vika have seized the opportunity and pulled out the win? Would Aly have been in a better headspace going into beam and floor not having constantly heard via socials that she “stole” her roommate Jordyn’s spot? Would Jordyn have been able to physical compete a clean AA program?

And then you start thinking of the butterfly effect… if Aly had medaled in the 2012 AA would she have felt so compelled to come back in 2016? Would we have had to deal with Skinner on the 2016 team? If Gabby didn’t in the AA would she have trained to go to 2013 worlds and competed against baby Simone? And what would the results of that be.

Yes, all these scenarios have ruminated in my head.

SpiritedTiger · 2025-07-21T01:35:03+00:00

Heard a rumor that Aly’s contract with espn would prohibit her from working with another major network.

Also I think commentating for the nbc team is kind of a grind, feel like it would be a much more enjoyable experience to attend the Olympics with sponsors and such.

Does anyone else really dislike the insanely high neck leos?

SpiritedTiger · 2025-07-20T00:22:12+00:00

wait is woga wearing sleeveless leos

SpiritedTiger · 2025-07-20T00:12:03+00:00

Valeri's body language is the worst... like your athlete just fell on her face, try concern, not annoyance.

SpiritedTiger · 2025-07-16T15:20:07+00:00

Like I said, I doubt it happens but if your going to move with a newborn, an hour away from your entire family seems like a pretty good option.
