“As a boy I dreamed of going to Stanford University. The first college football game I watched featured Stanford with Jim Plunkett beating Ohio State in the 1970 Rose Bowl. I thought Stanford was in Pasadena! What is most amazing about Stanford is the sheer diversity of championship sports teams and super talented athletes. No program there is better than Stanford women’s basketball, coached expertly for the past 32 years by the nonpareil Tara VanDerveer. Stanford is the last school to beat UConn. And the next one to do it!”
