2020 Season Previews: #7 Bowdoin Polar Bears

Welcome back to another episode of season previews. Today we’re taking a trip up I-95 to Maine and visiting with the Bowdoin Polar Bears. Bowdoin has been a consistent title contender during the past four years (The Urken-Jiang dynasty), finishing with a title, a runner up finish, a final four and a Quarterfinal finish. This…

2020 Season Previews: #8 Brandeis Judges

Today I’m here with a Brandeis season preview, so you know what that must mean…Kool-Aid time, boys and girls!  People accused me of thinking Brandeis was the new Wesleyan last year, but look what happened. If I were petty, i would’ve quote tweeted and thrown them back at you a-la Tyler, the Creator. But I…

2019 SEASON PREVIEW: Bates Bobcats

We’re continuing the season of previews with a look at the unranked Bates Bobcats. That is not a sentence Bates fans (and we have some doozies going back to back-to-back infamous bracket reveals and even @ForehandFla) are used to reading, however after a couple 5-4 losses to UW-Whitewater and Babson last spring, the Bobcats find…

2020 Season Preview: #17 Tufts Jumbos

SEASON! PREVIEWS!! ARE!!! HERE!!!! What you’re about to read over the next few months may be some of the most insanely idiotic guesswork you’ve ever seen. At no point in our rambling, incoherent previews will we be even close to anything that could be considered rational thought. In fact, all of you readers may be…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: The Blog is dying

These are dark times there’s no denying. I feel like a broken record in the group chat just badgering people to fill out responses to things that barely even have to do with DIII tennis (see newCentral’s “Hot” Take). I don’t want to be that guy. Nobody wants me to be that guy. Let’s hope…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Rockin’ Round Robin

We’re deep into our hot take series now, and we have yet another blogger spewing some hate at the fall season. We only have a few more of these and then we’ll see just how many season previews we can wring from the lifeless hands of the bloggers during their offseason. In case you missed…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: AVZ Speed Round

We’re definitely into true offseason mode now as the responses to the hot takes get thinner and thinner. Luckily resident boomer AVZ is here and he majored in lightning rounds… AVZ TAKE/DEFENSE I am going to go with speed round because I have multiple takes. 1) Case Western is a top 10 team and will…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Home court advantage…

FINALLY. This is where I was hoping we’d land upon starting this series. Something tennis related, inherently a mix of fun and ridiculous, and leading down the rabbit hole of farfetched rule changes. Behold, my favorite hot take yet (sorry ASW)… NewRegional TAKE/DEFENSE: The home team should choose whether singles or doubles is played first.…
