_________________My Personal Favorites
I have been watching women's college gymnastics since about 2010ish which is around the time when I got cable. At first it really overwhelmed me with the shouting (lol) and so many gymnasts going up on each event. And to think that was back when I had just one channel that showed a few meets a season and I had ZERO clue about live streaming! Overtime I have learned the ins and outs of college gymnastics and why it's so different than the elite world which is a world I have loved since 1996. I also liked the fact that most of the time, girls are on the same team for four years so it is awesome to watch them grow. You get stupid attached and hate it when they are seniors! It happens quick! You can't help but have fun watching these ladies especially during the floor routines! College gymnasts put their all into their routines and it's a joy to watch.
Most of my favorites are from the SEC network which I feel is the best network that showcases women's college gymnastics. I have also really grown attached to Pac 12 teams this year since I magically got the Pac 12 channel in my cable channels this year and they show a lot of meets!
