Anyone in Birmingham this weekend?

I'll be there, should be good. We've got two teams ranked ahead of us so the crowd could be the difference.

You should be able to. You actually might have a better view than many of the lower bowl seats. Last time the BJCC hosted the SCE championships it was very difficult to see one of the events from the lower bowl section I was in.

I've never been to a gymnastics match and wondering if the seats are worth it.

NORMALLY.. I'd say no. But Alabama is competing at home. They won't have the opportunity to host SECs again for another 5 years. the only reason they're hosting so quickly after 2011 is the National Championships are back here as well. (the SEC loves to give their teams an advantage by putting SECs in the same place as NCAAs)

BTW, the NCAAs up to 2018 have been announced. none of them in the South. (unless you count St. Louis)

I do not get it either. It should be near schools that can actually draw crowds (rotate it from LA, Birmingham, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Orlando, maybe NO, etc.). I mean Dallas? None of the big schools in Texas have a women's program.

Alabama Gymnasts Kim Jacob was named SEC-Scholar Athlete of the Year.








She's also won the Elite 89 Award 2 years in a row. (ie, the smartest gymnast in Division I).


Roll Tide!

I would guess she is going to make it three in a row for Elite 89 too.

Alright. We're here. I'm assuming it's ok to heckle and use laser pointers?

No. I am struggling with anger on that one.

Didn't you just get kicked out of a baseball game? If so, I'm understandably nervous about taking your advice.

You'd probably pronounce it wrong though.
