to take on the Auburn Tigers in Auburn, Alabama. We will be on line hopefully by 6 pm and have all the action for you at that time.

Bama is getting stronger on the vault now that Shannon Hrozek is nailing that Yurchenko 1/1 and Brittany Comeaux is right behind her, ready to step in to spell another gal in the coming weeks. Let's have a big crowd roll on down there to Toomers' Corner and support the gals with us next week if you can. Roll Tide and goodnight from Coleman Coliseum.

Let's pack in a sell out in three weeks as the Dawgs of UGA come back into town. Roll Tide!

Alabama: 197.925

Florida: 196.125

Szmuch (3rd), Dooley (2nd), Rice (1st: 39.700)

Bars Top Three: Erin Pendleton (UF) and Shannon Hrozek; Ashley Miles (2nd) and Jeana Rice (1st)

Beam: Katie Rue (9.90), Erinn Dooley (9.925) and Jeana Rice (9.925)

Floor: Alexis Brion (9.925), Jeana Rice (9.925) and Ashley Miles (9.975)

well. Well done team! Stucky got a 8.350 for her beam so the score of a 9.125 by Pendleton will have to be counted for the Gators.

home crowd and they went literally wild. She receives a 9.975. A few fans were dissatisfied with her not getting a perfect 10 but Ashley is happy since she is still perfecting some of the new moves.

again on the switch leap to wolf full and the crowd is cheering her on with encouragement, appreciating her awesome difficulty and the beautiful form.

front and the second and third passes with no significant problems. She gets a 9.875. Dooley gets a 9.925 for her beam routine. Erin Pendleton received a 9.125 for her beam. Stucky is now up.

How does she tumble so high with such a petite frame? It's in the genes. Just ask mom and dad. Erinn Dooley is on the beam with her front punch to wolf mount. Flight series looks solid and the leap series but she holds off another leap combination at the end and dismounts with a gainer layout off the side. Nice routine.

A slight deduction for the step forward out of her front tumbling pass (third element - front pike). Alexis Brion is through her opening tumbling series with no problem (whip to double tuck)and the second pass has incredible air time. She is selling it now!

flight series, so they will have to count the 9.700.

and Jeana Rice is through her pike full in and the second front tumbling pass with no problem. She finishes with a whip to double twist, landed perfectly.

least a 2-3 tenths deduction. But what difficulty! These freshmen for UF are very confident. She dismounts with a double twist but her form is loose and she hops back, so this also will be deducted.

and the second pass (front-front full-front tuck) and finishes with two front layouts, bent a little on the last salto but she stands it up. Rue gets a 9.90 for her beam routine.

Katie Rue just threw a bhs-layout-layout and landed it well; also a side Somi, just a little balance check; two straddle jumps to a beam drop; gainer tuck full off the beam end, landed well. Such confidence for a freshman.

nice and high. Her second pass is a front to two front layouts, landed beautifully this week. She finishes with a double tuck, landed well also. The crowd roars!

out of a handstand. Very nice. Hitch kick to wolf jump, full turn, hitch kick to side split leap, a little low but she dismounts with a double tuck, one step back and just a little loose on the form of that tuck. Terrific confidence.

The YMCA Dads are boogeying bigtime. The crowd wants a decisive victory with six fantastic floor routines to boost that score even higher. We just want our ladies to be safe and healthy after another tough meet. Let's ROLLLLLL!

while Florida has a total on floor of: 49.175 and a running total of 147.675.

for her floor routine. This score will come up in the next few weeks as she perfects that opening pass. Lots of difficulty. Erin Rightley of Alabama gets a 9.800 for her beam exhibition. Nice job freshman.

Erin Rightley is looking fantastic on the beam with her exhibition, no nerves this week like two weeks ago. Looks like she's having fun up there. She finishes strong (round-off full twist, one hop).

but she stood it up! She finishes with a double tuck that she has to hop to the left a bit on to balance the landing.

Jeana Rice is through her leap series and her bhs-layout-layout flight series. OOOOOHHHH! Landed that last element so high she had to go up on her toes to save it. We've never seen that before! Looking great through the wolf full, gymacro and she nails the double twist dismount. So we will be able to drop that uncharacteristically low score of 9.675 for Delahoussaye.

Mari Bayer is now up for the Tide. She is through her flight series (front aerial-bhs-Korbut) and the front handspring to needle scale combination. The leap series (switch leap-straddle jump) is very nice this week and she dismounts with a switch leap to gainer back pike, nailed the landing. So difficult! Katie Rue gets a 9.800 for her floor routine. Savannah Evans is on the floor now and throws a 2 1/2 twist but bounds on the landing to the left, so this will be a deduction. She is dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe and finishes with front tumbling, a little loose in her landing forward of the final element.

saves it). Music is "I Dream of Jeanie" to start and then "Jaws" and then "Go Gators". She has a second pass of a double pike (nice difficulty).

on the floor and crowd claps in appreciation. Shannon Hrozek is now up on the beam for the Tide and is perfect with her flight series (bhs-layout-bhs). She has some small bobbles and the ladies seem just a little nervous tonight, working hard for perfection. The crowd is cheering her on as she completes the rest of her leap series and dismounts with a double twist, which she lands very well. Four in the can, two to go.

double pike to stereophonic Celtic music.

series (bend over of the right shoulder a bit) but is really working the rest of this routine well and nails the dismount. Thank you!

pass is a double twist; she finishes with a front-front full front pike. Nicely executed. Delahoussaye gets a 9.675 so we would like to drop this score if possible. Come on gals!

wolf full and the flight series looked just great until she just shifted on the landing and had to bend at the waist to stay on (3 tenths at least). She is looking solid on the rest of the moves (wolf to Korbut) and nails the dismount. Lutz gets a 9.800 for her floor.

Rachael Delahoussaye is up next for the Tide. Let's push those scores up Louisiana gal!

We need six strong scores to ice this one and relax on the floor. She is through her flight series and the rest of her routine is just great, including the dismount of a bhs to gainer full twist. Lutz is up first on the floor and opens with a double tuck on the stinger mat, landed well. She is dancing to AC/DC and throws a front hs-front full to front tuck.

Florida has a total on vault of 49.150 and a running total of 98.500.

just a little soft on the legs during her inverted giants but she rocks that double layout dismount. All difficulty was in this routine from last year (two inverts, half turn to Tkatchev, double layout dismount). She receives a 9.75.

A great routine, just missed a perfect handstand on the transition to the low bar but rocked that full in dismount like only she can do it (with toes pointed). Tousek gets a 9.675 and Rice a 9.95!!

and will be deducted accordingly. Filetti gets a 9.85! Yes.

distance and form though. Brittany Comeaux is through her routine, really sticks the landing of the double front for a 9.875, which matches Szmuch's score.

could ask for. Dooley Gets a 9.800 for her vault.

threw a nice Hristakieva but had limited distance and took a step back towards the vault to balance her landing.

like she did in Baton Rouge. Whoooo!

a bit in the long warm-ups. She completes the two inverted giants and her giant uprises on top of the bars but just misses the handstand on the transition to the low bar. One foot back on the landing of the dismount for a 9.825.

Ashley gets a 9.925!

a stuck landing! Tommy Deas of the Tuscaloosa News says, "That's a 10!" just like he predicted on the vault (and he was right).

49.350 on the bars. Breanne King will start UF off on the vault with a Yurchenko 1/1, landed solidly, limited distance however.

scholar athlete from this past year. She receives the official post-graduate scholarship check in a huge size. The crowd roars its appreciation for four great years, which included 2 SEC Championships, 1 National Championship and numerous academic honors. Roll Tide Kristen! Stop by anytime to visit as you now have a key to T-Town for life.

very solid set, including a Gienger release for a 9.875.

And it was certainly well-deserved, look for it on the replay on ESPN.

a double layout, one step forward on the landing.

landing a double dismount, one small hop back. Alexis Brion will vault a front pike 1/2 twist - she NAILED IT! Crowd erupts accordingly and she gets a 9.95! BOOOOOOO the crowd says but she is thrilled, she has been working so hard for that score the past three years.

off and gets a 9.85. Hrozek just followed with a terrific Yurchenko 1/1, one small step in place, gorgeous form in the air. Not as much distance as we need but she's come light years since that fall two weeks ago, so we will take it!

throughout but she completes it with no major problems and gets a 9.85.

better this week at avoiding the pike down. However, she only gets a 9.825. Szmuch gets a 9.85 for her bars routine, very controlled and deliberate, nice difficulty, missed a few handstands, double tuck dismount, landed well.

were landing them in glue. And Jeana Rice just delivered for a 9.90!

Both Sarah Patterson and Rhonda Faehn are wearing black tonight. Sarah is wearing a black shantung silk pantsuit (with cropped pants) and Faehn is in a black sequined sleeveless top with matching black pants. Florida as a team is wearing ice blue and black leos with silver sequins on the bodice and Alabama is wearing the cranberry leo with silver sequins and a sweetheart bodice, the outfit they wore the first night of NCAA Championships in 2002. Good luck then, hopefully better luck tonight?

Choir and the Alabama Girls'Choir. Now it's time for some gymnastics, Bama style!

which is supposed to be replayed some time in the next few weeks. We will look for all the highlights and her expert commentary.

Larissa, Alexis, Shannon, Michelle, Lauren, Stephanie, Jeana are introduced to the crowd in this order, with academic achievements and All America awards called out respectively.

could wish for. "Stacy's Mom" is their latest, what a great rendition.

last week in the ESPN-Collegiate Cheerleading Championships) are now on the floor with the band playing "California Dreaming" in honor of Mari Bayer and her folks back in San Jose, California. We love you guys, stay tuned and cheer loudly for our gal tonight to bring home a big score on the bars, beam and floor.

and the crowd is filing in nicely.

greeting the Tide ladies as they pass in front of them, throwing high fives.

to Tomb Raider music. It's hard not to think of Jamie Dantzscher when that song is playing. Erin Dooley throws a punch front to wolf combination as her mount on the balance beam. Kara Waterhouse is not in the line-up tonight for the Gators but is on the sidelines.

Way to go! Now, if we can just get all three tumbling passes to come together she will literally be on fire.

and is poised to score high. We will need her to, no doubt about it.

Reeser, Brion, Kite and Filetti. Also Rightley!

Night, so perhaps Kristin is going to be highlighted for her numerous academic honors, including the SEC Student Athlete of the Year and the NCAA Elite VIII award that she picked up a few weeks ago in Nashville. Wow, we miss her bad.

We expect her to go all around tonight. Nice switch leap to wolf jump from Shannon.

Looks like Katie Rue is going to throw a double layout on floor as well as Orley Szmuch. Or at least they are practicing these moves on the sting mat.

She wants that 9.90 or higher tonight. Erin Rightley is looking great on the beam. After her first two weeks of exhibition on this event, and staying on last week while the Baton Rouge fanatics were going wild over Burkholder's "10", she has a much better sense of what it takes to compete in the SEC.

Samantha Lutz of Florida is a freshman who vaults a front pike. She just twisted it. Mari Bayer just completed her routine magnificently, catching that tricky Jaeger release.

is Dana Pierce, Dana Filetti, Brittany Comeaux, Mari Bayer, Ashley Miles, Shannon Hrozek and Jeana Rice.

was looking very good. We apologize for not mentioning this at the time but got on line late and had to go immediately into the competition, hence limited time to talk about the warm ups. Larissa is again warming up tonight so we may see her exhibit her routine. She is All SEC on the bars from 2003 and a candidate for All America when she gets back to full strength.

Hello Bama Nation, across our great country and the globe. We are in long warm-ups at this point, which just started.

Alabama is warming up on the vault while the Gators are on the bars. Both teams are looking very sharp. Alabama has Johnna Gay, Shannon Hrozek and Brittany Comeaux who will be throwing 10 vaults tonight at home along with the regular line-up. Gay just laid out her Yurchenko 1/1 and it looks excellent.

Florida is showing excellent form, toe point and handstands on the bars so we expect a big score from them on this event right out of the chute. Alabama is equally strong on the vault but it will be all about sticking the landing on each event tonight to get the maximum score.
