Great job Red Rocks!!!! Since the home university has a huge advantage, you
probably are the best in the country. How does Georgia get the venue so often?
The whole women's gymnastic organization should be excited about the
finish. Keep up the great work!!

If you're referring to Georgia, you can direct your talk elsewhere.

why is it that when Georgia wins there is so many sour grapes. when Utah won all
Georgia said was we have to get better and be able to compete with UTAH.Maybe
we need to get a little less hatefull.

Is it just me, but every time I see a story about this gymnastics team I want to
gag. Are there really that many parents of gymnasts who care? I mean really.
Is this even a sport? I know the U is having a hard time because their
basketball and football teams blow, but gymnastics? Lets start giving this much
ink to the U's chess club.

Doggie - why not be appreciative of the fact that the state of Utah has a team
that competes at such a world class level and almost wins a championship every
year? Gymnasts are some of the most talented and athletic people in the world.
Yes this is a sport - you sound like a complete fool to compare this to chess.
If you don't like gymnastics, don't read the story. I can't help
but wonder if you are a misogynist.

Way to go RED ROCKS! You have been a lot of fun to watch this year as in all the
past years.To be in second place is a great accomplishment.Not many other
schools can even make it to nationals. (And how many make it every year!) Thanks
for another great year!
To Doggie: Why don't you just stick to your own school and stay out of Utahs comments pages?
People like you need to get a life!!!

I thought the RED ROCKS did a great job. Georgia is just that good and they only
loose one really super star Katie Heenan and Courtney Kupets will be back from
being injured to take her place. If someone realy steps up they might just win 5
in a row. I thought the Georgia fans were fare to all teams they just screamed
for there team. Good luck next season.

Sorry to upset everyone. Im entitled to my opinion even if it offends the
delicate sensibilities of all 17 or so gymnastics fans.
And David, no I do not appreciate that Utah has a highly ranked gymnastics team. In fact, its an embarassment. Its sort of like the Dutch taking pride in curling or hillbillies taking pride in spitting contests.
Isn't it just a big waste of money and time? Shouldn't we give these scholarships to the glee club, or the marching band?
Oh well.

What ground do people have to get on here and post such negative comments, i.e.
Finally and Doggie? The Utes just took second for the third straight year.
Although a bit disappointing that they haven�t taken the
championship for a while, still very impressive.
Re: Anonymous, What sour grapes are you referring to? None are coming from U fans. I�m thinking Finally is a Georgia fan and Doggie is a BYU fan.
Red Rocks, Congrats on a great year. Bring the championship back to Utah next year!

Re: Doggie | 12:35 a.m. April 27, 2008
For your information, Utah averaged nearly 13,000 attendees per meet this year.
That is more than any other school. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion (as
stupid as it may be) but let me give you some advise � know
what you are talking about before you run your mouth and make yourself look
foolish. �all 17 or so gymnastics
fans�
Here is my opinion: gymnasts are great athletes. Here is another: the Red Rocks have accomplished far more in their short lives than you ever will. You�re pathetic to debase others because of because of either your low self esteem or exceeding arrogance.

The Utah Gymnastics team is wonderful and very talented. I've loved going
to all of the meets now for many years. Keep up the great work Red Rocks! You
are loved and we appreciate your incredible talent and beauty.
Re: Doggie | 8:47 p.m. April 27, 2008
When was the last time you were ever able to just walk across a balance beam,
let alone perform major tumbling moves on it without falling off? Do you have
the strength and flexibility these gymnasts have? Probably not!

Has there been a more successful sports program in the state of Utah? Pro,
college, or high school?

Dear Doggie,
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, and we thousands of loyal Lady Ute fans are entitled to our opinions of your opinion.
The last I heard, the Utah gymnastics program was one of the very few in the nation that was operating "in the black", as in producing revenue, not eating it up. Which means the Lady Utes support the chess club. Why don't you go give your opinion of women's gymnastics to the Georgia Gym Dogs. They could use the laugh. And when you finish second in the nation at anything, please let us know. We promise to applaud appropriately.
