Ben McDonald with a great story on failing on the biggest stage and bouncing back.
“I never failed at anything in my life…”
Then came the College World Series, a walk-off, an opposing coach talking trash and a punch in the gut he needed.

Great to be @allstarautoLA field today where @realbenmcdonald #19 is enshrined in left center. Such talent over the years from the LP.

Good thing I read this all the way through. At first glance I thought the Arkansas football team had Covid and was canceling. #iykyk

I haven’t found the words to adequately express my feelings about this fiasco. But, as usual, Scott does a pretty fine job summing up the issue.
She. Was. Robbed. Period.

Catering to casual fans? You mean the million plus that tuned in to help set a new record for this same network? That’s more than casual. Time to go back to the Magic 8 Ball for a new excuse. How about, “we’re sorry this happened and we will work to fix it before next season.”

ESPN is defending its NCAA gymnastics coverage after public criticism from Minnesota.
The Golden Gophers blasted the network on social media for not showing enough of the team’s routines compared to others. ESPN told FOS that the coverage was aimed at catering to casual fans.

Happy to see these numbers. Now add 20 minutes to the meet and air every routine. Not 70% of them. You wouldn’t show 6 innings of the College World Series. Or skip a set of volleyball. Let’s fix this.
The '26 @NCAA_Gymnastics Championship on ABC scored 1.1M viewers 🏆
🤸Most-viewed gymnastics meet ever on ESPN nets
🤸Peak: 1.7M, also highest ever
🤸Up 10% YoY

Been there.

Thanks for your support. We competed in 16 meets this year. In only one of them (Saturday), our fans weren’t able to see every routine.
Since they weren’t on the broadcast, our social team wasn’t able to clip them and put them on social either.
Our friends and families are hosting watching parties at their homes or restaurants. They want to watch the main broadcast and not sit with their side tablet on a separate stream they had to pay for.
This is so easily fixable. We were in third place after the Four on the Floor third rotation. Just like we were in third place in the regional semis, regional finals and national semifinals before coming back to get second.
Good thing those broadcasts didn’t give up on us, would’ve missed one heck of a show.

Ran into one of your buddies, @realbenmcdonald. I think he said Geaux Tigers. Or something like that.

She’s one of my all-time favs. Pardon the pun, but @AshleyCowan16 raised the bar on that it means to be a @LSUGym Tiger. I can’t wait to see what life brings you!

Yep. Lincoln’s and Torrez’s FX were a key difference in the end. One was much closer to a 10.0 and the other a 9.85. One was early in the meet and the other was last.

Clean, confident beam wins. @LSUgym with everything in the windshield. But don’t forget about the Lincoln floor in rotation one versus OU floor anchor in rotation four.

This meet will largely be decided in rotation 3 by the bars judges. @LSUgym following OU, which had VERY generous scores in 3 of 5 counting routines.

The first Tiger in school HISTORY to score a perfect 10 on vault at the NCAA Championships.
Who else?

If @LSUgym ever needed a 10 it was right there. @kailin_chio with a total GOAT performance on vault to keep the Tigers very close in the championship.

Some really, really good floor routines for @LSUgym to start the championship. Sadly, Lincoln’s routine scores higher later in the meet. Just watch. Tigers in the hunt, though, after 1.
