Happy Friday! This afternoon, I’m live from my couch, inside and away from this impending winter storm. Due to the storm, this meet between the Sooners and GymDogs was moved up from 7 p.m. to ensure it could be completed and that fans and Georgia could get home safely afterwards.
The meet will be streamed on SECN at 3 p.m. ET, and scores can be found on Virtius.

Every single routine was stunning in its own way. I’m obsessed with both teams tonight. In other news, Georgia’s Holly Snyder was taken out of the bars and floor lineups. No news yet on why, hoping she’s okay, and it’s just something minor.
