I will admit I don't know a lot about MAG. Is this a big deal? Is it a surprise?

 

[munchkin3]

Yes

 

[profmom]

Yeah, I figured there would be some kind of shake up, but this was a surprise to me.

 

[skschlag]

My friend is at CTC, the JO part of the OTC. They were shocked!

 

[txgymfan]

I'm not shocked. I wonder if it was voluntary.

 

[Seeker]

I was wondering that as well...my guess is no.

Yes

actually, it's not.

 

[LindyHopper]

actually, it's not.

Not a big deal, not a surprise, or both?

 

[munchkin3]

Change is always a big deal!

Not a big deal, not a surprise, or both?

neither. it was time. maybe Marta will take it when she gets back from Romania.

 

[txgymfan]

Imagine the men lining up in height order and saying thank you in unison. [emoji13]

 

[bookworm]

This was long overdue....major competition after major competition with huge errors and they have talented guys, time for someone to change the routine that's not working...

 

[munchkin3]

I guess so.....we have always been asking ourselves why the guys look SO different during major competitions than the girls.

Any chance at all of Mark Williams taking over?

Any chance at all of Mark Williams taking over?

doubt it. but Jim Holt would be an excellent candidate.
