Well hello there! I don’t need to tell you that the Blog has been pretty much dormant for the past year-plus. There are more than a few reasons for that, and it’s not just Covid. Yes, the season being cancelled last year took a lot of wind out of everyone’s sails, and while there is…
(The blog has laid dormant for longer than it has in its now 12-13 year existence. Covid is sure to wreak havoc on the Spring season, and there have been rumblings that there will be no Pool C this year. Without fall tennis to keep us sated, I will start this season off with some…
Hello folks. Remember to set your clocks FORWARD tomorrow. Don’t lose out on an extra hour of daylight! Enjoy the darkness when you wake up in the morning for a 6AM practice or when you go to work! That’s not miserable at all! Hey, at least that means an extra hour for Happy Hour. Which…

DIII tennis has closed up shop for the season, but that doesn’t mean…
Something said in the blog chat got me fired up again after a long and grueling summer. I won’t say what it is, but I realized that it is that time again to blog. While the years go on, I slowly find myself trying to find the motivation to pick up my lazy hands and…
Nothing like a night in the hospital to spur the blogging spirit. I’ve decided to briefly come out of retirement to preview my favorite tournament. This tournament has always held a special place in my heart for several reasons. First, it represents the only meaningful fall tennis for the Northwest conference, which means it’s the…
Hi. I have awoken from my summer slumber to give you our final version of the 2019 Power Rankings. Maybe later this year we will do a “WAY TOO EARLY 2020 POWER RANKINGS” because the chodes on ESPN really like that kind of shit. But, that’s for later on, when I’m done traveling and living…
