Claremont – Mudd – Scripps Colleges Location: Claremont, CA Coach: Paul Settles Preseason Ranking: 2 Intro: Hey y’all, I’m back in action and today I have the pleasure of writing about the CMS Stags. If I were to summarize this preview in just one word it would be ‘depth’. I know, I…
Fall ITA Nationals technically start in 40 minutes with the play-in matchup of Hewlin (Whitman) and Krull (Trinity TX), so this preview kind of needs to go out. I’m getting real nervous here writing this paragraph because I’m scared the commenters will behead me and burn me at the stake if this goes out at…
First of all, I have never been so wrong and so right in a single weekend…. Obviously no one could have predicted the winners of the tournament, and to be honest I am still not quite sure how it ended up that way, but such is the Fall Regional. I guess it’s past time for…
Wassuppppp wassup wassup. After an exciting weekend of ITAs where it looks like a lot of our viewers came back for some classic blog action, we decided to keep the ball rolling with our Weekly Power Rankings. Now, they won’t be weekly here in the fall season because the blog here is all about efficiency,…
The Main Event Trinity (TX) It’s difficult to analyze this tournament for the Tigers because they always dominate it so thoroughly. We’ll start with singles: Trinity did predictably well here.

Whitman “Whitman freshman.” Get used to seeing those two words next to each other, both in the rest of this post and for the rest of this season. That might not be a great thing against the rest of the nation, but youth certainly served Whitman this weekend. The top-seeded Whitman freshman, Chase Friedman, had…
Traditionally, the ITA Northwest region has been great for determining who could beat Whitman in the event of a Walla Walla ebola outbreak, but some NWC teams aren’t quite as willing to get nutted by the Squirrels this year. (Boom. Thrown shade, topical humor, testicle joke, and intrigue all in the first sentence). Anyways, buckle…
Well, it looks like the blog is up and running for the year, and since I can’t get in touch with the new guy, I’m just gonna go ahead and do the 5 burning questions for the West region. I know you all missed my snark ever-so much, so I’ll try to give you all the…
There was one day when I woke up and I had a vision. A vision that I should dedicate my life to DIII Tennis Blogging, giving feedback and recognition to players who worked their asses off but always played second or even third fiddle to their DI counterparts. I’m proud to say that the vision…
