David Teel — Wed, 15 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

Bold non-conference schedules will serve Virginia Tech, Virginia and the ACC well as college football drives toward the playoff era. The challenge is in balancing that ambition with business and competitive concerns.

Kingsmill a remarkable LPGA Tour debut for Katie Burnett

David Teel — Sun, 05 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

WILLIAMSBURG — Katie Burnett will not win the LPGA's Kingsmill Championship. Not with this impeccably credentialed leaderboard. Not with seven of the world's top-25 players in her midst entering Sunday's final round.

Kingsmill contender Angela Stanford true to Texas roots, devoted to foundation

David Teel — Sat, 04 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

After last year's Shin-Creamer epic, LPGA tweaks Kingsmill's playoff format

David Teel — Thu, 02 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

WILLIAMSBURG — The LPGA has never seen a playoff like last year's at Kingsmill, and for spectators, the format was perfect. As Jiyai Shin and Paula Creamer dueled time after time after time on the River Course's 18th hole, fans lining the fairway or seated in the grandstand never had to budge.

World No. 1 Inbee Park transformed since last Kingsmill appearance

David Teel — Wed, 01 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

WILLIAMSBURG — When last seen in these parts, Inbee Park was missing the cut at Kingsmill's 2009 Michelob Ultra Open. A major championship in hand, she was ranked 27th in the world, but truth be told, Park had little grasp for what it takes to compete on the LPGA Tour.

Brey, Notre Dame poised to continue success in ACC

David Teel — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT

HAMPTON — The buzz of returning to the league of his childhood, not to mention the source of his two national championship rings, remains with Mike Brey. But now comes the hard part:

Virginia Tech, Virginia, ODU, Norfolk State affected by offseason basketball changes

David Teel — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT

Since last we took stock of college basketball's waiver wire, players have exited Virginia and Virginia Tech. The Hokies countered with a promising late signee but also lost an assistant coach. Norfolk State said farewell to its accomplished head coach, while an Old Dominion hire created a potential opportunity for a U.Va. assistant.

Second national title secured, Kentucky Derby next for Louisville's Pitino

David Teel — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT

The notion is preposterous: Luke Hancock astride a horse in the Kentucky Derby. He weighs two bills, for goodness sakes, and stands 6-foot-6. He's as much a jockey as I am an NFL left tackle.

David Teel — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT

NORFOLK — Each year at the Final Four, Jeff Jones hosts a large dinner. The guest list tops 30 and includes coaches and administrators with whom he has worked. They reunite, lie about their handicaps and chow on Jones' dime.
