Want to predict the 2027 Champion? Here's a hint!
Since 2013, whoever has led the parallel bars standings at the end of the season (pre-NCAA Championships) has won the national title
Prediction Modeling done by Alex Grapsas (W&M)
Asher Hong said their motto was "From the Ashes" and "Earned not given"
Huge for Stanford to peak right now! A legacy of excellence for sure!
ASHER COHEN FULFILLS HIS DESTINY!
First Nebraska Cornhusker to win the still rings title since the legendary Jim Hartung!
CHARLIE LARSON DID THE STRADDLE 360!!!!!!!!!!
Stanford will have first pick for rotation at tomorrow finals followed by OU. Michigan will pick third.
Preston Ngai with the Save of the Year on PH and Penn State imploding on high bar.
Ioscovich (PSU) just like taking a quiet little stroll on parallel bars 😂
Overall, been extremely pleased with the commentary from Brody and Bart. They've done a good job balancing storylines and technical information. PLUS they keep their personal annecdotes to a minimum.
How did OU gymnast Ignacio Yockers double major and keep a 4.0? 'No social life'

Patty Hoopes has apparently been taking secret lessons form @ollyhogben.bsky.social. He commentated pommel horse at NCAA Championships and said, "Sorry I'm a one trick pony. No pun intended" 😂
Sam Phillips high bar set was so so so good until he smacked his chin into the high bar. Holy moly. Hope he's ok.
He got up an finished the routine. Meanwhile I got a cortisone injection in my wrist today and it hurts to type 🤣
HOLY CRAP! Mansberger did a FANTASTIC routine til the dismount. OMG. He did an extra piroutte but fell also? WILD.
Granados (Michigan) did not make the dismount on PH. Will need to remount and try again.
OOoohhh loving this inside info from Patty about Sam Brown.
Thom's being interviewed right after the rotation so I guess he didn't inquire too many scores (In case you don't know, Thom is a chronic inquirer) 🤣
Kuebler with a mixed routine. Some closely caught releases. Stuck dismount!
ahahahahhahah I also just facepalmed when he said that.
I also had no idea he did bundesliga 😅 I'm wondering if it was a 2nd league or regional league.
Shamah (Stanford) is lucky it's not finals because he's a huge contender for the parall bar title. Fell off on the Makuts and then repeats it after he remounts.
Fred is on with the cassina per usual, no Liukin tonight, Kolman is MUCH better than it has been, hop back on the dismount.
What this final session is PROBABLY going to decided is who gets first pick for preferred rotation order.
OU's 322 just likely isn't enough to hold, so probably looking at Stanford or OU for first pick.
Jaden Blank is so so so good at sticking floor passes
Asher did his easiest vault tonight.
ahahahahahhaha Bart.... my friend. We cannot say the judging here is comperable to the World Championships.
Michigan starting off strong on parallel bars with Carson Eshleman.
ollowing Session 1 Leadears:
Team: OU
FX: Chase Davenport-Mills (OSU) - 13.966

Parker Thackston with nearly a 1.0 lead over the nearest competitor on PH!
Yah, I'm surprised it's been so close to MPSF's so far actually.
