The time has come. . .

[Kibitzer]

. . . for me to change my signature line.

For years -- since the glorious Diana Taurasi era -- I relied on a great quote ("Never underestimate the heart of a champion!") from an unlikely source: Rudy Tomjanovich, former NBA player and coach. The quote fit UConn and Diana perfectly. It wore well even after she left and Maya took the torch.

But times and players and circumstances have changed. So I dug up a quote by Vince Lombardi that seems more appropriate now. Note that I have confidently retained my reference to national champioships. A change in quotes does not signify diminished hopes -- or expectations!

You have inspired me. I have never had a signature before.
