What enables sport to transcend the specifics of the game and the moment is that it can be inspiring. This win is inspiring.

I played high school golf (Oklahoma state 3A champs 40 years ago!) and loved the team aspect. It meant a lot to me to play for my school and coach and teammates. I follow both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments because the play is compelling and can be incredibly dramatic. It's amazing to see how well these players execute under the most extreme pressure.

What Stanford did this year is really special. A great example of a team achievement. They did not hesitate to be great. They worked hard to have the opportunity to win it all, then made it happen (with some great play and a little luck). It *is* inspiring.
