SPC Opening Round part 2, plus Jeff Capel
Thursday, 16 November 2006

Another big show on Thursday as the final 2 contestants in the Opening Round of the 9th Annual Sportsline Song Parody Contest took to the microphone and performed for a spot in the Main Event coming up Tuesday at Cattle Annies in Lynchburg.  Greg Tomlin and Mickey Johnson, both first timers in 2005 came in with strong entries.  Now its up to the listeners and the judges to determine who will be Main Eventers and who will be opening up the show prior to airtime at 6pm.

Joining R&R on the show on Thursday was Jeff Capel, the new head hoops coach at Oklahoma.  Once Kelvin Sampson bolted for Indiana, that paved the way for Capel to head to Norman after a successful run at VCU.  Jeff told R&R that he was excited about moving to a big time program, although a program that has had the success and tradition of Oklahoma is that there are more expectations right off the bat ... which of course means more pressure.  Capel said that he only has 10 scholarship players this year, since several recruits bailed after the coaching change, but that would allow him to bring him more of his own players quicker.  

Double R and the Legend also talked more Hokies with Kyle Tucker of the Virginian Pilot.  Tucker helped break the story about a lawyer from Hampton Roads who is suing Jimmy Williams, former Hokie now playing for Atlanta, for money he claims he gave Williams back when he was at Tech.  Tucker was not quite sure what this would amount to, but its interesting stuff nonetheless.  Tucker also picked Tech to beat Wake, as he says the Hokies are really coming together.
