Next Friday begins the 2020 Gymnastics season. Chief among the national stories to watch is whether LSU can claim its first national title (spoiler: they won’t.) More locally, the story is whether Dana Duckworth can get it turned around in the final year of her contract. The past few seasons have seen the Tide slip further behind the top tier of the SEC. Last year, Alabama finished .500 and was firmly entrenched in the second rung of the conference. The Tide are ranked 10th going into this season. Not as good as years past, to be sure, but this team does have talent.
