2019 Women’s Season Preview: #8 Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens

We had some early season West region action this weekend with the Santa Cruz Quad, which turned into the San Francisco Trio after Chapman pulled out and rain forced the action into the City, and that got me into the mood for another preview! Before we get to that a quick recap on this weekend’s…

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…

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…

2020 Women’s Indoors QF Preview: #3 Pomona-Pitzer VS #6 MIT

Hey y’all! It’s NEW and WestWomens back with your fourth and final match preview for the Indoors QFs! This is the match that got a ton of bloggers abuzz in our pre-tournament roundtable, and based on our predictions, it looks like it might be a nailbiter! **Disclaimer from NEW: MIT has been playing around with…

Women’s 2020 Indoors Preview: Blogger Round Table

Last Thursday, D3AS texted me “Y’all alive over there orrrrr”. I’m assuming it was due to our relatively slow pace of articles, not because he truly thought the collective women’s blog team had gotten CORVID-19 and died. I do admit that I have been MIA since the fall season and I apologize. Fortunately my co-bloggers…

WestWomens 2020 Previews Round #1: Texas-Sized Content

Maybe it was watching Kenin & Coco last week, maybe it was some motivation from ASW, maybe it was that the season has technically already started, but something got me out of hibernation to write y’all some way-too-late west region season previews. We’ve been dormant for a while, and after my super-positive spiel about the…

2019 Season Preview – The Blog & Stuff Like Dat

I told you that we’d be back. It took a while. It took my colleagues to ridicule me and berate me until I barely had a will to live. But, I come back to you a stronger, more philosophical writer. I come back to you all with a deeper understanding of what it means to…

2019 Blog Awards, Part 2

Another day, another USWNT win, and another Blog Awards article. If you missed part 1, make sure you check it out here. I don’t want to keep harping on the women’s national team (jk, I do), but the difference between their success – World Cup champs, Olympic Gold medalists – and the men’s side losing…

2019 Blog Awards, Part 1

I’m finally taking a break from watching the USWNT crush in the World Cup to put together an article. This Nike ad just got me way too hype, and now I wanna see the good ol’ USA bring home some hardware. Speaking of, the Blog pooled our collective tennis minds to highlight some fantastic performances…

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…

2019 Individuals Preview: 1st Round matches to watch

I wasn’t going to write anything about tomorrow’s Individuals but then I saw that we have a Blog fan who (very nicely) asked us for offseason content. Well that just made my cold heart grow three sizes…so here is an off-the-cuff quick preview highlighting some matches to watch tomorrow. No research will be done while…
