AUBURN, Ala. – For a lot of you, your only experience with gymnastics comes every four years when you watch the Summer Olympics. That’s how I was. I had never been to a collegiate gymnastics meet. I didn’t understand how it worked, or better yet, how did it draw so many fans every Friday night? Everybody who’s been has told me how much they love it.

So I took the plunge. I attended Auburn’s meet with Rutgers last Friday, fully unaware of what to expect. Sure, I knew the different events.
