Well, Gator fans? We made it! Nationals has arrived once again, and Florida has a strong case for making Four on the Floor, at the very least. We missed Regional Championships two weeks ago (sorry, I was moving!) so let’s do a little recap of how we got here and what we’d hope to see.…

Wait, postseason is here?? Where did the time go?! Unlike in years past, we are only covering the second session of SEC Championships, so let’s do a quick recap of Session 1 and then talk about what to expect tonight in Session 2. With 9 teams in the SEC now, the coaches put the format…

How is it already senior night?? Time is so fake. Anyway, tonight we’ll celebrate seniors Sloane Blakely, Bri Edwards, Ellie Lazzari, Riley McCusker, Victoria Nguyen, and Leanne Wong. Unfortunately, we’ve just gotten word that Lazzari is now injured after vault warmups this evening, so tonight may not be the celebration she had hoped for –…

I am coming in HOT from my week at work away from home, but I am here! Here’s the TLDR of this matchup: Florida’s season to date has been hot and cold, Alabama’s has been uncharacteristically messy. I’d say Florida is favored, but crazier things have happened. Florida needs a 197.8 (and some help elsewhere)…

Hoo boy. It’s the Gators’ first time facing Oklahoma since the Sooners joined the SEC, and let’s just say it’s a good preview of postseason. It’s not exactly a 1:1 comparison – the Sooners have been in their usual rare form, while the Gators have had some hiccups. They haven’t been their usual improve-every-week selves;…

Good evening, Gator fans! It’s been two weeks since we last saw each other, and a lot has happened – Florida saw an unexpected loss in Arkansas last week… oof. Here’s what we learn from that: Just kidding… But I’m here tonight when I probably shouldn’t be just to make sure. LSU also lost to…

It’s a rare occurrence when we get a Sunday matinee tri-meet as Gator fans, but we should take every chance we can get vs. teams outside the SEC this year, especially now with a ninth team in the conference. Florida did Florida things last week and cruised to a win against Georgia, who do look…

Is it bad that this doesn’t really feel like THE rivalry for Florida anymore? Georgia hasn’t been anywhere as competitive as they used to be in so long, it’s hard to think of the Gymdogs as true rivals to the Gators nowadays. But that may be about to change – Georgia has once again overhauled…

Last week for the Gators was… rough. The team had a relatively comfortable lead going into floor, despite some errors from Riley McCusker and Ellie Lazzari on previous events, and it seems that Jenny Rowland made the decision to pull Anya Pilgrim out of the floor lineup for whatever reason – to save her legs…

Today’s the day, Gator fans! The 2025 season has arrived! If you missed it this morning, make sure you check out my season preview for a primer on what to expect and what to look for this season. It will be a doozy of an opening meet tonight, with Florida facing one of their regional…
