🔼 Just Getting Started. Virginia football has the momentum rolling!

🔼 Amazing Amanze. When Tabitha Amanze entered the transfer portal last spring after three years at Princeton, neither she nor Virginia women’s basketball coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton knew much about each other. But in their first conversation on the phone, they found common ground in their shared Nigerian heritage.

“I think that helped me be more comfortable,” Amanze recalled.

“That definitely is a bond,” Agugua-Hamilton said, “but I think more so what we bonded on is just my belief in her. I always tell Tabbie, ‘See yourself through my eyes,’ because sometimes kids limit themselves. They don't know how good they can be until they're pushed to be it."

🔼 The Dime Lab! Kurt Benkert displayed all the energy of a kid in a candy store – except he was doing it as a 30-year-old retired football player in a Dick’s Sporting Goods.

“I used to buy my cleats here when I was growing up,” Benkert posted to Instagram on Tuesday from inside his local Dick’s in Florida. “Now, they sell my football. … Bet on yourself.”

At the University of Virginia, Benkert was a record-setting quarterback with a big arm. A decade later, he’s a successful entrepreneur with a big imagination.
