Gymnastics: #4 UF at #11 Mizz 7pm SECN

[CU-UF]

Gators travel to that god-foresaken place that now is trying to be hip or something by having all announcers call it "Co-Mo", whatever the hell that means. Like all things Mizzou, probably the worst venue to have a meet. Energy in the arena is always low and sparsely attended. Last week UF scored the highest score in the nation to date this season. The line-ups with the exception of floor looked much closer to the expected line-ups. It is encouraging that the coaching staff changed the composition of both Riley and Leanne's routines to eliminate deductions. Gators need a big score tonight to bump up their NQS ranking when that goes into effect in a couple of weeks. They will need to bring their own energy to this meet. Lets see if Rowland continues to tinker with line-ups or starts focusing on tightening up routines. Go Gators!

FL survived 14 career highs by MO gymnasts and MO's highest team score in history to win the meet.

Great work by both squads.

Rowland still playing with lineups through, Frustrating, they should have crushed them. Not sure what has happened to Richards. She is just not mentally there.

Watching a sporting event from Missouri is a soul-depleting experience. I noticed this before, most recently during the basketball game. The Mizz colors are depressing, the court is depressing, that stupid tiger logo at center-court , the fans are hollowed-out facsimiles, the seats--mostly empty--are depressing. Kudos to Gator Gymnastics and the basketball team for enduring this all-engulfing Missouri misery & gloom.
