2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: The Blog is dying

These are dark times there’s no denying. I feel like a broken record in the group chat just badgering people to fill out responses to things that barely even have to do with DIII tennis (see newCentral’s “Hot” Take). I don’t want to be that guy. Nobody wants me to be that guy. Let’s hope…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Rockin’ Round Robin

We’re deep into our hot take series now, and we have yet another blogger spewing some hate at the fall season. We only have a few more of these and then we’ll see just how many season previews we can wring from the lifeless hands of the bloggers during their offseason. In case you missed…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: AVZ Speed Round

We’re definitely into true offseason mode now as the responses to the hot takes get thinner and thinner. Luckily resident boomer AVZ is here and he majored in lightning rounds… AVZ TAKE/DEFENSE I am going to go with speed round because I have multiple takes. 1) Case Western is a top 10 team and will…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Home court advantage…

FINALLY. This is where I was hoping we’d land upon starting this series. Something tennis related, inherently a mix of fun and ridiculous, and leading down the rabbit hole of farfetched rule changes. Behold, my favorite hot take yet (sorry ASW)… NewRegional TAKE/DEFENSE: The home team should choose whether singles or doubles is played first.…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Food inequality

Our next hot take comes from our newest writer, D3CentralWomens. Although, it’s not so much a hot take, as some sort of Title IX violation? If this is happening at your school, please reach out to any of us (I’m at D3Northeast@gmail.com or @D3Northeast) and let us know. D3CentralWomens TAKE/DEFENSE It’s just wrong that due…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: JJ 4eva

We’re back for another week of blogger hot takes! Last week we heard a passionate defense, visited our critic’s corner, attempted to treat some seasonal disappointment, & finally launched a ship to end all ships. What do we have for you this week? Check back to find out, but we begin Week II of Pumpkin…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: A budding blog love story

Today, D3ASWomen’s is bringing it the spice as only she can. It has made me reflect on love, and this Blog as a whole. So, in order to put you in the proper mood for this take, here are five extremely romantic movie quotes that would be made better should ASWomen’s take come to pass……

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Fall tennis is…dumb

We’re back with an actual tennis-related hot take today, although not a very cheery one, from my counterpart on the women’s side, D3NEWomens. While I can’t say I agree with the take, at least we’re no longer talking about Ready Player One. We’ll be back tomorrow and each day next week with more hot takes.…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Ready Player One

This is my fault. I told the bloggers that their hot takes could be “loosely connected to tennis” as they wanted. I blame myself for this and you can too. You can also check out yesterday’s tennis-related hot take by clicking here. We’ll be back tomorrow with something more substantive…. newCentral TAKE/DEFENSE: Ready Player One…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: CHB protects the ITA Cup

Happy fall, boys and girls. It’s that dreaded time of year when the only major sports we have to fill our lives are the World Series, the NFL, the NBA, the NHL,  professional tennis, professional golf, college football, and soon college basketball. DIII tennis has closed up shop for the season, but that doesn’t mean…
