Welcome to College & Cocktails!
College & Cocktails combines our weekly Behind The Scenes Q&A live podcast with a college meet of the week. We start after the college meet ends on Friday nights (Pacific time). It’s our appreciation love letter to club members for supporting the show. Here’s how to ask questions live.
We are talking about all the Friday meets with special focus on Cal at Utah. We’re going live right here on this page around 7:00pm Pacific after the meet ends. For more info on how to watch your favorite elites, Olympic and World medalists all year long, check out The Balance Beam Situation’s schedule with links.

Because I’ll forget by the time C&C starts and Spencer mentioned UM’s low vault score at The Big Five, Gabby Wilson almost sat her vault landing and Naomi Morrison did (missed a hand on the table).
has the show started?
Just left the Alabama vs LSU meet. Crazy scoring. Both head coaches spoke with the head judge during the meet – the Bama coach complained to him on multiple occasions with a scoresheet in hand for bars and floor at the very least. But the oddest score was the 9.9 for Rybicki on beam for Bama with a 10.0/9.8 split with obvious deductions on the dismount. But Jessica you would have loved the front of the Bama student section as they read the newspaper while LSU as in beam.
