Finally was able to listen to last week's Talking with Teel
Look, I hate the 24 team playoff as much as anyone else, but I do have to push back on something that was discussed.
NFL and CFB make their respective playoffs by totally different criteria. The Buffalo Bills are resting their starters in week 17 because they're 14-2 and have a 2+ game lead on the 2 seed. It doesn't matter if they lose. They're still making the playoffs as the 1 seed.
College football is completely different and teams get seeded subjectively. You're not going to see teams sitting starters in rivalry week because sure, your top 10 teams will still make the CFP regardless of a rivalry week loss. But do you really want to drop a few spots in the bracket? Surely you'll still play to win so you get a higher seed so you can play a weaker team and have an easier route to the finals. I really think the sitting starters discourse is a bit overblown. I HIGHLY doubt teams will be resting starters come rivalry week.

I wouldn't overthink it
Student athletes have been balancing academics with athletics for most of their lives. Plus think of all the vast resources they have at the college level, especially at a P4 school like Virginia Tech. They have tutors, special academic advisors, and other tools at their disposal to succeed in the classroom while participating in athletics. Also the professors understand the situtation they're in. They can offer extensions or other opportunities to balance the rigorous schedule these student athletes have. I guarantee you exams are not playing a distraction factor at all for the team in the ACC tournament, especially the more seasonsed starters.

Yeah I watched every inning of those heartbreakers
My critique was just the semantics. Odd to say you went on a "world series run" when you didn't even make the world series. That's like saying the Ravens made a playoff run but didn't even make the playoffs to begin with. We did, however, make a world series run in 2008. Went to both of those games as well in OKC.

2022 isn't accurate
You can't say you had a "WCWS run" when you didn't even get out of supers. We also didn't win the ACC... Great year but you're inflating the end results.

Itβs so frustrating.
And the announcers are oblivious. Havenβt heard them mention anything about it.

Three colleges in three years
Unless you're probably going pro, this can't be good for young people and their educational development to be transferring so frequently these days. Settle down at one school, get your plays in, make your friends, get your degree. The amount of transferring these kids do these days is ridiculous.

Keep booing
This staff and team and administration deserves all the boos and then some. This is beyond embarrassing

Iβve never been more apathetic about this program than I am right now
Iβm 33 years old. My parents took me to my first game when I was just a few month old baby. Iβve been to 100+ home games, and plenty of away games, neutral sites, and bowl games. VT football is my biggest passion in the world. Thanks to Whit, Pry, Drones, and others, never have I felt so empty about this program as a whole than I do now. And thatβs so infuriating to say. Iβm glad fans are booing. The administration needs to know how we feel.

What are the worst stats of the Brent Pry era?
remind me of the 1-score game record. Is it 1-14?
What was that record of losing going into the 4th quarter, 1-17?
Iβm a masochist. Give me all of the worst stats of the Brent Pry era

Donβt play scared
Itβs a freaking INCH just sneak it with your bulldozer of a QB. Hate that from Pry

To offset some of the negative comments (mine included)
Defense gave up only 17 points to a Heisman favorite, future 1st round nfl draft pick. Kudos where itβs deserved

That really sucked
But letβs be honest. We could be 3-1 going into ACC play. Lot of things to clean up. But showed enough that 3-1 isnβt out of the realm of possibility

Atrocious take
By not suspending him for a DWI, lying to the cops about it, plus his other two reckless driving incidents, youβre saying that this behavior is tolerated at Virginia Tech. Actions have consequences, believe it or not. Comparing this to how a business would handle a DWI with some random employee is laughable. Get your head out of the sand. We have higher standards at Virginia Tech than the SEC. Iβm glad I donβt work with you

From a captain tooβ¦.
Obviously no one should be getting a DWI but to do so after being named a captain shows incredible amounts of immaturity

Tinch is in a league of her own
You could double the career strikeouts Emma has and she'd still be 700+ behind Angela. She's one of only 3 players to eclipse 2,000 K's in the sport's history. As the cherry on top, she also no hit the USA Olympic team back in 2008. No chance that ever happens again.

Does #8 not care about being out there?
Bench him for someone who can actually jump in the air and show a little effort
