The Blog Retirement Article

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…

NE UPDATE: SPRING BREAK VS CORONAVIRUS

NE SPRING BREAK UPDATE Can I tell you how dispiriting it is in the Blog group chat right now? Every couple hours there’s some new news on another school doing something related to the Coronavirus, or the stock market, or the presidential race or college basketball or something else equally as depressing. I bet if…

2020 Men’s Power Rankings, 3/7

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…

The Great NE Migration: Northeast Women’s Spring Break Preview (Part 1)

COVID-19 note: We’ve already seen some men’s and women’s teams cancel spring break for this year, and while I’m sad, I completely understand and respect the decision made by teams, coaches and athletic departments. We hope everyone is staying healthy and taking the necessary precautions (wash your hands and don’t pick your noses, please!!!). I’m…

Changes and Constants: A Look Back at the D3 Tennis World of the Past

I’ll admit this post is somewhat self-serving. There’s not a ton of action with the teams I cover going on, and I’m a little uninspired to write about them until some actual results happen this weekend. So for now, I thought it would be fun to take a little trip down memory lane and talk…

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…

2019 Wallach Recap

People love fall. They love the chill in the air. They love carving pumpkins, pumpkin spice, and yeah some of them just love being basic. For me, my love of fall stems from sports. I love that the playoff baseball keeps you up far too late every night of the week. I love the stress…

2019 New England ITA Preview

Welcome, boys and girls, to the article that REALLY begins my blogging season. The Midd Invite recap is fine, but it’s just that, a recap. Everybody else is writing these generic preview and kickoff articles, but I’m here to bring you a stuffed ITA preview, full of mediocre writing, uneducated rantings, and what you all…

2019 Middlebury Invitational Recap

Try as others might to ignore the changing of the season, DIII tennis waits for no blogger so HERE WE GO…again. The names change, but The Blog remains the same. Actually, we’re way better now. We have more dedicated (I use that term loosely) writers than ever before and our women’s side continues to grow…

FINAL 2019 POWER RANKINGS, MENS

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…
