Hall Call Ep 013 - Commonwealth Cup 11 - 26 - 19 by Hall Call

The state of Virginia’s preeminent rivalry takes to the gridiron for the 101st time as the University of Virginia host Virginia Tech battle for the Commonwealth Cup. While recent history has favored the Hokies in this battle for annual in-state bragging rights, the level of competition between the programs and their fans is at an all-time high. The 101st matchup has added incentive, as the winner will take home the Coastal Division Championship in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Joining us on the Hall Call Podcast to provide some insight, perspective, and history into the rivalry is 2014 Hall of Fame inductee, David Teel. Teel is a 12 time Virginia Sportswriter of the Year recipient, and has covered this rivalry since joining the Daily Press in 1984. On this edition of the Hall Call Podcast, we talk about the tradition and significance of the game, as well as about some of the former players and coaches that have turned the Commonwealth Cup into a must-see event.
