The 16th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks Gymnastics team (“Gymbacks” for the uninitiated) welcomed the 15th-ranked Georgia Gym’Dawgs in the official season opener at Fayetteville inside of Barnhill Arena Friday night.
The Gymbacks opened their season in front of 2,327 fans with a strong 196.700 overall score, a team number better than any they posted at any point last season and shows promise for a strong season, but still came up just a sliver short of SEC powerhouse Georgia's 196.775 score.
The meet featured on the SEC Network, and I was quite excited about the coverage for the team, until I realized that lowly state and local media would be pushed out of the floor media tables and shoved up into the nosebleed sections with inconvenient outlets for our laptops and no complementary Ozarka.
