The Boise State gymnasts suffered a huge setback last week when they lost to Washington for the first time in school history. The Lady Broncos are still #15 this week and will test themselves on the road against #11 Alabama.
While the rankings are based on scores and not wins, every time Boise State loses a meet, they will fall in the rankings relative to the team they lost to. If the Broncos are ever going to reach the national championships, they need to prove to themselves more than anyone else that they can beat teams like Alabama.
My niece was a world-class gymnast, so I would like nothing better than for the Broncos to do well. I've been trying in vain to get her to come up to Boise, first on the gymnastics team and now as a coach someday! If Boise State were to climb to another level, it would improve my chances!
I'll be talking more about the meet with Alabama leading up to the meet. Boise State needs a win like this to make a statement.
