#9 W Gymnastics holds for 28th straight win over MSU
After a.............turbulent week to say the least, the #9 Wolverine Gymnastics team took the Crisler Center stage for the first time in 2019. It was also the B1G opener.
Michigan opened with their rivals from "over there", MSU.
It was a rough meet. There were some falls from both teams, and Michigan posted a very un-Michiganlike 195.975 team score. A season-low team score of 49.150 to start out the meet coupled with some falls on beam and another sub-49 score on the floor added up to the sub-par overall score.
Yes, it is still January but one has to wonder if this past week led to this. Good to see that despite all that, a team WIN was still had.
Michigan took the meet, 195.975-194.050.
Michigan won all 4 events as a team and Wolverines took the individual titles for all 4 events (Emma McLean on vault, freshman Natalie Wojcik on bars and beam, Olivia Karas on floor).
The Wolverines have beaten the Spartans each of the last 28 times the two teams have faced off, dating all the way back to the 2007 season.
Michigan is now 5-2 (1-0 B1G) and will travel to Maryland next Saturday night.

Who needs Rhonda Faehn?
Go Blue!

Turbulent week?
In the end, it was one of our finest hours.
January 18th, 2019 at 11:34 PM ^
Yup. We lost a lot of planes but prevented a full-scale German invasion.

I feel like we grabbed the shovel from Engler and MSU for couple days, but we stood up and corrected it. Coach Plocki gave interviews, gave her side of the story and owned it. It wasn't just her. Seems there were a couple of missteps, WM.
Stark contrast from Sparty.
Engler wanted his shovel back and started digging another hole for himself. He dug too deep this time. buh bye!
Contrasting example of how to handle a tough, tough situation.

Regardless of public opinion, the most important people who were supposed to be coached by Rhonda Faehn, wanted her here and were upset at her being fired.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:21 AM ^
Public opinion was formed because of the way it was dropped on us.
Hope all the best for Rhonda Faehn.

My six year old wants candy for dinner. Sometimes adults need to make the choices.

I'm sure your kids' dentist would approve of their choice.

Nope. It's going to take a deft bit of money laundering. So...

Let's make it happen.

Double post. You can see how bad I want this.
January 19th, 2019 at 11:50 AM ^
Good. I get to neg your stupidity twice.
January 19th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
Here's one more. Neg this one too! Evidently it's all you've got.
January 18th, 2019 at 11:23 PM ^
Hail to the Victors!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:19 AM ^
Ha! Suck it Sparty.

Why are you always trying to force women’s sports on here? Do you really care about gymnastics?
January 19th, 2019 at 1:14 AM ^
It's always good to assert our superiority over MSU, no matter the sport. If you're uninterested, simply do not click on the forum post.
January 19th, 2019 at 1:38 AM ^
Hasn't been around long enough apparently. I've been posting updates of all of Michigan Athletics for almost the entirety that I've been on here.
And yup, I care about all of our teams. This is from last year's meet vs osu. 
January 19th, 2019 at 3:46 AM ^
Man, fuck that bullshit WD. No need to justify yourself. You do you.
+1
January 19th, 2019 at 7:16 AM ^
Agreed. Appreciate the updates on all our teams. People need to figure out how to not click on threads they don’t want to read.
January 19th, 2019 at 7:50 AM ^
Thanks WD. I was doing my cultural stuff (naked Greek guys at Power Center) but I will be at some of the later gymnastics events. Are you going to the track invitational or watching Bball today?
PSA --- the Simmons-Harvey Big Ten Invitational will be aired from 12-3:30 on the B1G so switch over after basketball or during halftime and timeouts. We're hosting OSU, MSU, PSU, Maryland and Nebraska.
January 19th, 2019 at 11:08 AM ^
Yup. I'm an alum and not just a fan of 1 or 2 Michigan teams. I support ALL our programs, so I appreciate WD's updates on women's teams as well.
January 19th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
I care about the Women's sports and the Men's non-revenue sports. I now regret not attending them as an undergrad. I now don't have the time to follow them myself, so the occasional briefings from WD and others keep me informed. GO BLUE!
January 19th, 2019 at 3:35 PM ^
Well Done.
