As I have said before,if it did not coincide with basketball season, I could be a big time gymnastic fan. I have been to one SEC meet, and it is a great atmosphere. I am considering aking a hoops break and going on down to BJCC tomorrow.

An old pal of mine is a big gymnastics fan. When I asked him why, he said that it was something where he could look ar very attractive young women in skimpy outfits and his wife would not say a thing.

Just a guess, but I'd bet a lot of guys say the same thing—but in reality it's not the truth. I'm fascinated watching all the events, save one. The balance beam is a bit boring to watch although I appreciate the talent and athleticism it requires.

The tourney's aren't TV friendly due to the amount of money (camera's, etc.) they choose to use for the events. But, the tourney's? Good god they are fun to watch...a lot going on.

If I were you, I'd be there.

According to the SEC web site we are champs again. Florida second, LSU third, Georgia 4th. So on to the regionals. No doubt we will host one.

A sidelight: this is now the 110th consecutive meet where we have outscored the boogs. We
began this streak when Coach Bryant was still around.
