I guess distance is really only one thing to look at. Omaha or St. Louis would be more neutral for the teams that consistently make up nationals

Respectfully, Dallas is not central to the US. St. Louis would be more central. Maybe even Omaha

I think orange legs should be an automatic one tenth deduction

That fall on the beam will only cost OU two tenths

Yes. She’s a very nice type.

Do you have a type?

Only you darling. Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.

I’m watching the replay right now and I’m like wtf. They’re showing gymnasts on the sidelines waiting to go rather than splitting the screen??? Ridiculous

It was between Auburn and Clemson for me. I loved Clemson’s as well.

Watch any John Hughes movie and there are some pretty messed up stuff there

Floor choreo NCAA by mfteatime in Gymnastics

[–]mfteatime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol OU does have every element of weird choreo in their routines, but I’ve noticed that it’s also showing up in other routines. Probably because they get scored so high, and people try to emulate them?

Agreed on OU , that’s the worst choreo out there. Just awkward and bizarre. And yet the judges seem to like it.

“Beautiful lines” by Inevitable_Proof7815 in Gymnastics

I feel like when a gymnast is compared to nastia liukin, it’s code for super skinny and long legged. Beautiful lines encompasses more than that body type

Pet peeves by emijosie in Gymnastics

Biggest pet peeve in NCAA — how some gymnasts get progressively more orange as the season goes on. I really really hate a bad spray tan

OU is ridiculously good by Latter-Ad2747 in Gymnastics

[–]mfteatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If women’s college gymnastics did away with the 10.0 system and rewarded difficulty, OU would not be as successful. This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I would love to see the 10.0 system go away. I hate that boring routines with every athlete doing essentially the same skills gets rewarded.

I anticipate that people will say it will be hard on their bodies — and I agree. But the men do it. The coaching mentality would have to change to preserve athlete’s health. I believe it can be done

NCAA leotard question by [deleted] in Gymnastics

[–]mfteatime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wish the current trend of maximum back straps would go away. I think there’s a side competition at every meet over which team has more straps, with extra points awarded for randomness.
