Teel Time: Episode 50

On the 50th episode of Teel Time, David Teel and Jonathan Heeter chat about the new landscape for college basketball after the NCAA handed down some rule changes. The new rules regarding NBA Draft eligibility and player-agent interactions have drawn most of the attention, but Teel believes the penalties for rules violations deserves discussion. We talk about the recent turmoil at Maryland following the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair, who died in June following a team workout. As the season draws closer, how have Virginia and Virginia Tech fared in fall practice, and have the storylines changed since the start of practice? And we wrap up with golf talk and the PGA Championship. Tiger Woods' performance and Brooks Koepka's win at Bellerive made for quite the story. Koepka now has three majors since June 2017. Teel asks who's more likely to win a major in 2019: Woods or Koepka. Music: Slow Burn by Kevin MacLeod.

Teel Time: Episode 49

The 49th episode of the Teel Time podcast is a reunion as around 100 years of Daily Press experience come together to talk about the retirement announcement of William and Mary football coach Jimmye Laycock. David Teel, who has covered Laycock as a columnist for a few decades, is joined by longtime Daily Press sportswriter Dave Johnson, who currently covers the Tribe, and another longtime Daily Press sportswriter Dave Fairbank, who covered W&M and other local colleges when he retired in 2015. The three Daves talk about Laycock's 38 years at W&M and put in perspective a career that included either coaching or coaching with three current NFL head coaches - Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers), Sean McDermott (Buffalo Bills) and Dan Quinn (Atlanta Falcons) - and former college coaches Frank Beamer, Bobby Ross, Bill Stewart and Ralph Friedgen.

Teel Time: Episode 48

On Episode 48 of the Teel Time podcast, David Teel and Jonathan Heeter talk about the biggest questions facing Virginia Tech and Virginia as they enter fall practice. The Hokies will need to solidify their defense, particularly in an inexperienced secondary. They also will be seeking consistency from their rushing attack. Most of the questions surrounding the Cavaliers involve the quarterback. We roll through the non-conference schedules of ACC schools? Is there a better non-conference game than Miami-LSU? And with Penn State, Notre Dame and UCF on the docket, does anyone have it tougher than Pitt? Music: Slow Burn by Kevin MacLeod.
