2018 Power Rankings, 3/28

The Power Rankings schedule has been a bit off this year, but we are back to our normal cadence of posting these in the middle of the week. The Blog Group Chat has been quite annoyed with my sporadic Power Rankings posts as I’ve had to ask them many times to re-do their rankings as…

2018 Bracketology #1!

AS: If there is a rite of passage to become the owner of this Blog, it is to do a bracketology from start to finish. Last year, I took over bracketology for the first time ever, as the Guru has become a monk in his old age and now lives in the distant precipices of…

Players of the Week: 03/19-03/25

REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: 03/19-03/25 Happy Monday, boys and girls. We’re back with a new crop of POTW, and with it comes a new theme. There has been some intense debate in the Blogger group chat of late, and unsurprisingly it has nothing to do with DIII tennis. A picture says a thousand words,…

Power Rankings, 3/19

Power Rankings did not come out last week. This is my fault. I am making it up to you guys today, as we will have our Power Rankings early in the week. We will also have Power Rankings later in the week, so you can refresh after some more matches. What a time to be…

Players of the Week: 2/27-3/5

REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: 02/26-03/05 INTRO: There has been some fierce debate in the Blogger group chat about the merits (or lack thereof) of Olive Garden.

Power Rankings, 3/5

I will admit that this was supposed to go out last week, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be posting our Power Rankings early this week in order to soothe your concerns. Note that this should be taking into account most of the action that happened this past weekend, but given the timing there…

It’s almost here! I know you’re all as excited as me for what’s coming up in just a couple weeks. Sometimes it feels like the wait will never end, but players, coaches, and fans alike can all rejoice in the knowledge that they’ll finally be able to put all their months of hard work to…

Your Extensive West Region Fall Recap

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…

Small College Nationals: 10 fun/meaningless stats

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.…

West Region ITA Rapid Reax

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…
