Colts lose and Bridget is sad

Right now Bridget Sloan is a little bit sad. Well a lot sad and if she ever reads this blog she will see that it is usually pretty pro Bridget except tonight baby because Bridget’s beloved Colts just got their ass’s handed to them on a silver platter they never deserved in the first place.

MANNING LOSES and GTT is happy. I am a little sad for poor Bridget because she seems to be a real fan but then I think back two years ago when Bridget was probably laughing at my team losing in said very same Superbowl (albeit to a different team) and then I made this picture thing above. It makes me smile:)

Bridget don’t fret. Both our QB’s are getting old and the newbe QB’s are coming to take over. It happens in every sport so keep your chin up and remember pitchers and catchers report in less then two weeks. Oh wait that would make you an Indians fan and that isn’t something to look forward to at all…..

Goodnight:)

College Gymnastics week 5

College gym fans

Shayla Worley finally lived up to her potential. Number 1 Alabama falls to LSU and Susan Jackson does it again!

Those are your headlines for week 5 of College gymnastics.

Georgia got some pretty shady scores for decent routines but I really think competing against Kentucky just made them look better then they are. The scores at the start of the season were low and as soon as Alabama started scoring these ridiculous 197 plus totals the scoring has gone up big time. Georgia benefitted from this tonight. Shayla had 3 scores over the 9.900 mark and Georgia easily beat Kentucky.

Susan Jackson helped LSU take out number 1 Alabama. Oklahoma beat Nebraska to remain perfect (when will Hollie Vise get to do the dang AA? )and UCLA beat Arizona by nearly 3 points.

American Cup Foreign participants announced

Article

Yep the Scam cup is changing it’s name to the American “B” Cup because forgive me for saying this NO ONE of name is going to be competing for the women. The men have a great line up but the women might as well not even bother having a competition. This thing is set up for Rebecca Bross to win.

I will hold out hope for Kyla Ross as the second gymnast but because of the camp scores rumors have it being Aly Raisman. Alicia Sacramone’s mini me. Great on vault and floor, can’t do uneven bars.
So disappointing. I want my money back. No offense to Aly because she is obviously being primed to be the Vault-Floor specialist to the Nastia bars and beam specialist Marta wants to send in 4 years to the Olympics but I was hoping for some real gymnasts at this competition.
Ariella Kaeslin is a very good gymnast but she isn’t Ana Porgras or Viktoria Komova

College Gymnastics Week 4

Auburn recap

AuBURNS Georgia should have been on the banner but I didn’t think of it until I was done so I’ll leave the words here.

For the first time in the History of their program Auburn University beats Georgia. Georgia is hitting a new low this year and the newbies like Shayla Worley who were supposed to be replacing the annoying Courtney Kupets are not living up to par. Georgia still has time it isn’t even the half way point yet but things do not look good when Grace Taylor falls off beam twice. I have faith in Shayla she will be fine but it might take a while to get used to her new body. By the way she looks awesome. She looks human. Come to think of it I don’t know why I have faith in Shayla . She was this inconsistent as an elite but all around this was not a good week for College gymnastics. (so far)

Denver’s Kristina Coccia competed beam but fell on floor. Sarah Shire fell off bars, Stanford lost to Oregon State and Utah was less then steller in their win over Washington.

UCLA doesn’t compete until Sunday.

Alicia Sacrmaone vs Kayla Williams.

Sacramone vs Williams

I have not read the entire thread (I have only skimmed through some of it) but from what I can gather the discussion centers on which of these gymnasts has a better chance of making the 2012 team.

If we met in a coffee shop and you asked me my opinion (and you did by virtue of reading my blog) I would tell you there is no answer two years before the Olympics.

We just don’t know if Alicia can get back to where she was being away from competition for two years and a year away from serious training. We don’t know if Kayla can handle the pressure of being a World Champion and as it stands right now the answer to that question is no (Look at her scores at the recent camp)

Comparing

Kayla vs Alicia

Uneven Bars: Alicia doesn’t train them and Kayla shouldn’t be training them. Just pretend this event doesn’t exist for either of them. Even if Kayla competes the event she won’t touch an UB at a World or Olympic event under any circumstances. IMO Alicia wasn’t that bad at bars back in her day but she again isn’t touching the event at a World competition. If either ever go near the uneven bars again then Marta is in big trouble.

Balance beam: Alicia: has some nice skills and is very aggressive on this event. She has also improved through the years and was a bobble away from making the event finals at the Olympics. Don’t let her Olympic melt down take away what she accomplished on the beam from 03-08. That fall should not define the improvement she made through the years on beam. That being said I can’t say I would want to count on her for beam if I needed her score. She had been shaky on beam all through 2008.
Kayla: Bent knee’s are her weakness. She also doesn’t hit the full 180 degree in her split leaps ever (floor or beam) she actually has a nice quality on the event but if she can’t hit a full split then that makes her pretty unusable on beam.

Floor: Alicia and Kayla can both tumble but to write this blog I watched several of their floor routines one after the other and Kayla doesn’t hold a candle to Alicia on floor. Alicia sells her routine and occasionally has some choreography (though not much in her later routines) Watching Kayla on floor makes me cringe. There is a reason she was level ten the year before she went to Worlds. Below is Alicia’s College prelim routine from the National Championships when she competed for Brown University. Not the same difficulty as her elite routine but pretty good overall. IMO she was underscored on this event. I can’;t even bring myself to link that mess Kayla call’s a floor routine.

Vault: Both gymnasts compete the same two vaults but while Kayla might be World Champion ( in the weakest field I can remember for vault) Alicia Sacramone is clearly the better vaulter. Alicia has great form on her vaults (unlike the mess Kayla calls a second vault) and is much more powerful then Kayla. Alicia also gets better block off the horse, has better distance and has much more height.

Kayla won the World title in a field that was lacking anyone but the Olympic Champion who fell twice. Fact is Hong Un-Jong wouldn’t even be Olympic Champion if Cheng Fie had not fallen a part at the Olympics. She had two messy vaults and pretty much lucked out.

If Alicia had competed at the 2009 Worlds like she did at the Olympics her vaults would have easily out scored Kayla. Plus the two vaults Kayla did at World in 09 wouldn’t have been top 5 at the Olympics the year before.

Rumor has both Alicia and Kayla training the Amanar vault but who is to say that the US will even need them come 2012? Many of the juniors have already performed them in competition. There is no doubt in my mind that the US will be planning on using Nastia Liukin for bars and beam and with the 5 member limit in 2012 a vault specialist might not even be a need by then.

The Olympics are two years away. Anything can happen but if both gymnasts are healthy come 2012 and only one could be used for the team I would take Alicia in a heartbeat over Kayla.

Camp 1 rankings from GGMB

GGMB is usually the hot bed of information but they were wrong about Chellsie going to a competition a few months ago so who knows.

ALL CREDIT goes to GGMB EXCEPT that Jordyn fell off bars that I got from someone else:)

I am just curious if someone at usa-gymnastics is feeding them this info. If not usa-gymnastics has a spy:) How very Scarecrow and Mrs King of them.

The numbers below do not add up to the list of gymnasts they gave. There are 23 names and 22 scores which means something below is messed up but not by me. I did it twice. It is safe to assume the mess up is somewhere near the bottom because 3 events and 1 events match up.

Interesting about Bross’s placement. Make you wonder if Marta will ever just give up on her inconsistency.

Wieber fell and got that score.

Second camp starts any day now. Should be a much better camp for us oldy fans. Memmel is at it and Alicia Sacramone starts her comeback.

Hate on me hater

This is like Glee beating out 30 Rock, Entourage and The Office for the Golden Globe Award last week. Those shows are stupid, overrated and liked by critics but us people without the box know full well that Glee rocks! It might not be on HBO or star Tina Fey but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have it’s good points too.

So I would like to dedicate the song Hate on me sung by the kids from the TV Show Glee to the 2010 United States Figure Skating National Champion Rachael Flatt. Rachael would never say this but I am sure she is thinking it.

FU WORLD. I AM THE NATIONAL CHAMP!!!!!

I am glad Rachael Flatt was finally rewarded for her jumping ability. Yes she was overscored but who isn’t at a National Championship? Rachael did what she always does. She went out there and competed and for that she deserves credit. It gives me great joy to see her succeed because it pisses off so many nasty bitter people (Stop laughing people I am not bitter I am opinionated:)

My advice and opinions

Dear Sasha. BYE

I can’t say I will miss you. You choked away your free pass to the Olympics and even you knew it after you double footed your second triple jump. You then didn’t even bother to give an effort on any of your spins and spirals. Rumor has it you were told hit 4 of your triples (which is why you had next to no jump content in your LP) and you would be in but you couldn’t even do that. Shame on you Sasha. Shame on you.
I would like to congratulate you for being mature about your own mistakes but even your hug to Rachael and Mirai were only done for the good of the camera. It was fake. Just like you.
I am glad the judges finally did the right thing and didn’t hold you up. It’s time to be realistic here. If you couldn’t beat Rachael and Marai you were never coming close to a medal at the Olympics. You got the attention you wanted now do the girls all a favor and give them the spotlight they deserve. GO away.

Mirai Nagasu was the anointed winner by Scott Hamilton before the competition was even over but when doesn’t that man put his foot in his mouth while commentating? From the Russian/French situation in 02 (before the cheating judges were brought into it) from him calling Michelle Kwan’s 1998 Olympic LP cautious when it wasn’t Scott Hamilton LOVES to make things up just to hear himself talk. Last night he did it again.
Mirai is a beautiful skater. She has a great personality but she has been downgraded in her jumps all season long and last night was no different and it won’t be different in Canada if she doesn’t fix the problem.
Watching the pure joy she was having while skating was pretty damn awesome last night and that is what I will remember about her performance.

Uncle Dickie Button needs to go. I have been in full support of Uncle Dick in the past because he always told the truth but like superman he has his kryptonite. That is Sasha Cohen.

In her career whenever Sasha fell or made a mistake Uncle Dickie lied through his teeth to praise her and last night was the final straw for me. Before the competition he was actually preparing the fans watching the broadcast for Sasha winning even if she missed her jumps. Making excuses for the lack of jump content she was planning and mistake that were sure to follow by saying she was scoring points in other ways. I can’t condone cheating but this for me pretty much proves that Sasha only needed to stand up her jumps on one foot to get that spot on the Olympic team.

Caroline Zhang: Keep your head up. You still have a lot of talent. Just fix the free leg and come back. You are still young.

Ashley Wagner: Words do not describe how much you annoy me.lol I fully admit it is the Terror Lipinski connection but it isn’t just that. The way you acted last night was pretty bad. Openly rooting for skaters to fail was funny when you were doing it to Sasha but Mirai and Rachael deserved better. I get that your upset and I get that you were really just wishing for that spot on the Olympic team but next time do it in private. You made yourself look like a jerk.

Alexe Gilles: I love Alexe. Not her skating but just her. She is just happy to be there. If she could only put it together she has some nice qualities. Good luck

Bebe Liang: Nice to see a clean (for you) long program. I hope you get to go to worlds to give it a shot.

Christina Gao: Cute as a button. Great technique on her jumps. She could be the whole package for the future if a growth spurt doesn’t take her out. I look forward to seeing her progress.

Emily Hughes: Your whole career is based on being the other Hughes sister. Judges have their glasses back see ya later:)

And last but not least trucking out your gold medalists at the National Championships seeing Terror Lipinski and Sarah Hughes on that list just made me throw up a little in my mouth. Kristi, Peggy and Dick deserve better company.
