Illinois-Champaign @ Michigan Live Blog

I'm back for more gymnastics live blogging and today, we take on the Big Ten.

It's Michigan's home opener, probably long overdue for them after two weeks on the road. They're hosting fellow Big Ten team, Illinois.

They started a little slow at the start of the season against Utah so it will be interesting to see what they do at home.

Refresh the page every five minutes or so for updates!
