Indoors isn’t the only game in town in D3 tennis this weekend, with plenty of action coming out of the Central and Northeast regions, following up on a pretty full schedule last weekend as well. This article features pretty much all of my teams and breaks down what happened last weekend, what’s coming up, and…
Just in case anyone lives under a rock, I’d like to make a PSA that its #IndoorsWeekend and that you have to pay $20 to watch it. Unfortunately watching it will be a hard pass for me, which is why I’m shifting my attention to a gathering of Eagles, Ducks, Tigers and Bishops that some…
Happy Monday, boys and girls. It’s that time of year again, the time of year when Bates makes its westward pilgrimage during its strangely scheduled “spring” break. The NESCAC’s first day of practice for spring sports is February 15, and yesterday, just four days into its season, Bates played its first match against Westmont in California. Here…
Hello again all. I hope everyone had a great weekend and maybe even got in some outdoor tennis with all the warm weather. I wanted to do a quick write-up recapping a couple big 5-4 matches from the weekend, both of which I didn’t even realize were happening. I really need to get on my…
The excitement of last weekend’s Kalamazoo-Kenyon match was a great start to what should be a Central region full of tight matches this year, with a lot of teams appearing to be pretty even. This is great news for us fans of D3 tennis, and gives me plenty to write about. While the Northeast is…
Welcome, boys and girls, to my final season preview (you can’t see this, but I’m writing while surrounded by balloons and streamers). I left Wesleyan for last because for me they are one of the toughest teams to forecast, both for a lineup and their season prediction. This is a team that has been consistently…
Welcome, boys and girls, to the first Fantasy Draft Blogger Matchup. Just like last year, each team has been matched up with somebody else in the league, and we’ll be providing duel perspectives. Today you get a rematch of one of last year’s fantasy previews. I tell you this only because the artist formerly known as…
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, boys and girls! I’m dealing with my Pats anxiety by diving into The Blog. I strongly considered making this whole article prop bets-themed, but I think I’ll turn that into a separate article somewhere down the road. You know, something like, “over/under 1.5 NE teams in the final four”, or “over/under 20 times…
Happy Thursday, boys and girls, and welcome to another episode of Talented but Troubled: Season Preview edition. For as difficult as the academics are for so many of the top tennis programs in DIII, MIT might have them all beat. Perhaps that’s why this team seems to perennially underachieve. Do you know what Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal…
