Steven M. Sipple, Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett send you into the weekend with a detailed chat about the football coaching staff, among other topics.

In a possible preview of the NCAA championships, the Oklahoma men’s gymnastics team edged defending national champion Stanford and Nebraska to win the season-opening Rocky Mountain Open on Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Despite having gymnasts sidelined during the week because of health and safety protocols, Nebraska still managed to score above 400, finishing with 404.350 points. Oklahoma (407.700) squeaked by Stanford (407.500) for first place.

The Huskers had two event champions.

Charlie Giles won pommel horse with a 14.450 and Sam Phillips topped the floor exercise field with a 14.200.

Giles added a second-place finish on vault (14.550), and Giles’ brother, Cooper, was second on pommel horse with a 14.300.

Competing in the all-around, Phillips scored an 80.200 to place fourth. Phillips was one of only four competitors to score above 14 on floor exercise and he edged Shane Wiskus, an Olympian, for first place.

Nebraska did not have a full lineup for Saturday’s meet. Missing from competition was Taylor Christopulos, one of the nation’s top sophomores, and senior Jake Bonnay.

Sadie Miner-Van Tassell claimed three event titles, including the all-around, to lead No. 16 BYU to a 195.700-193.925 win against the Nebraska women at the Devaney Sports Center.
