Week 2 in the NCAA and we have a Revenge Tour taking shape. Our first perfect 10 of  vaulted into the season, Michigan State has full Region 5 Line-ups and the best post routine antics you have ever seen. Did we crown the national champion at the Sprouts meet… You would have thought by the commentary! We had a scroll of freshman debuts this week, the Ohio State crowd might have been mainly bull dog fans and the beam team in our R5 University Line-up killed it that and much more….

Podcast Highlights

  • Fab 5ish- We got 11 including some End Zone Dances and some snazzy shirts and the first 10.0
  • R5 University Line-up scores for Week 2- Our BEAM LINE-UP…… WOW!
  • Freshman Debuts- IT’s a Scroll this Week and we are all about it!
  • They DID THAT… or DIDN’T- A LOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK including 200 from Zansville, Kim on John, Aly and Sam this week, a few new faces in line-ups, some melting into the beam and Paul Juda!
  • D3 Athlete of the Week

It’s that time again, college gymnastics is upon us and we get the season started quick with the first competitions taking place the first weekend of 2026. On this preview show we highlight the new freshman we are excited to see. We used our R5 University to showcase current alums in the NCAA who know we will see or hope we see. Kim and I were required to pick six on each event and weren’t allowed to repeat, but you know that Kim didn’t follow that rule. The NQS will be tabulated differently this year and we briefly break that down as well as give you our line-up meets for week 1. The College Salute is ready to bring you all the action from our alums and more in the NCAA all season long and we begin today. 

Podcast Highlights

  • Fab 5 Freshman we are excited to see
  • R5 University Event Line-ups (Kim and I pick our top 6 on each)
  • New NQS rules explained
  • R5 University Line-up meets for NCAA Week 1
  • Highlights from the Intrasquad Meets across the country
  • Kim gives us some insights to Michigan’s Intrasquad
