Though the fall season is a relatively quick one for the players out West, I see it as one of the most grueling weekends of the year. There aren’t many times in the spring where you’ll play up to 10 matches (singles and doubles) in one weekend, so huge props to those who played an…
Happy Wednesday, boys and girls, and welcome to the first of The Blog’s Small College Nationals (now called the ITA Oracle Cup) preview articles! We are hoping to have a prediction article out for you tonight, a roundtable article for you tomorrow morning, and perhaps even more if my fellow bloggers get their acts together.…
Welcome back to a blog favorite, Power Rankings! Now that ITAs are over, the writers have again come together to shoot the sh*t on a google document and rank the top 42 teams from Division III Tennis. We have information now from ITAs and can form initial power rankings based on the individual performances that…
I’m feeling good because the Broncos just won, so I’m gonna pump out a quick rapid reaction from my favorite tennis weekend of the year. The ITA weekend was always my favorite for many reasons: it was the first significant competition for several months, and I was always jonesing; it was exciting to see how…
AS Interlude: With the growing popularity of the Blog, we’ve attracted writers from all across the country to throw in their insight on the site. We’re happy to include guest articles from really just about anyone, because a lot of you have some really great insider info about teams that the writers probably do not…
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! There are bloggers about, waiting to kick off another DIII season, and they are waiting for my cue. While I debate what my next show to watch is going to be (I’m taking suggestions peeps), I’ve decided that I’d turn over a new leaf this year. That means ALL…
With the season winding down, I return to the tradition of recapping the season for all the teams I covered, while spending a little space on each senior that helped make the DIII community so fun to cover for the past four years. I only covered seven teams this year, so fans of Southwestern and…

If you would like to listen to the podcast, which you should, feel free to click the link below.

It’s the final week of the pre-NCAA’s season, and that means it’s the SCIAC championships. The conference isn’t quite as strong as it once was, but with three teams in the top 15, it’s still clearly the third strongest conference in the country. Here’s a preview: Quarterfinals (1) CMS def. (8) Occidental 5-0 – The Stags…
DAMN ASOUTH, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER POOL C ARTICLE! I took the weekend off to spend some time with all the other people in the world that matter to me, so that is why you didn’t see me all too much over the weekend. Just because I wasn’t there doesn’t mean a lot didn’t…
