71.227.182.9
I did get this recorded today … and had watched most of it (all of OSU’s routines, plus most of the rest) …
They started the coverage with Brooke’s beam, … included most(?) of Jen’s, then Mandi’s (showed all of her events in the broadcast) … they only showed Jami’s series and fall, and Amanda Borden commented that “you could see she was just totally shook-up as well” … 
I think that comes from not having watched her much this year or other years(?) … she was using a technique to re-focus(?) that I think she learned from Jorge Reyes … and if she had been “totally shook-up” she would have done as well as she did after the fall!
(At least Jim Watson obviously knows the OSU team … 
)
Tanya comments briefly on Mandi …
Then it’s Mandi’s floor routine … gets to blow a kiss to mom and dad afterwards … even though they were in the stands!
Showed Stephanie Mcregor’s vault (looked a lot like Brooke Barclay to me~ … don’t know how that mistake happened? Showed Steph’s score, but AB commented on the y-full!?) next was Whitney Watson’s vault (no mention of the “similar” name!) … glad Jim mentioned she has sprained her ankle at Missouri … then Jami’s & Mandi’s vaults.
Next half (?) of Olivia’s bars routine … then Mandi waiting for bars (as RM! commented, with that pesky camera in her face … two feet away! … I thought they had zooms?) .. to beam, then most of Mandi’s routine. Most of Jami’s routine …(coming back from commercial see Leslie saluting the judges at the end of her floor routine) finishing with Leslie’s bars … (through out this rotation, the video/sound seemed weird … seemed like the sound wasn’t coming from anywhere near where the camera was located ???)
I think we saw too much UCLA … but theyt did win … and too much of Stanford in their corral in the 7th rotation (might have been ok if they had finished 2nd!) …
The only shots of fans in the stands were two of OSU's ... I suppose since we were the only ones with "props"?! (an O, S, & U)
Go Beavs!!,
