It's a different world for those of us who are doing this for a living. Certainly a lot different than my dad had to deal with when he was calling games on a national level for CBS. It's just a different world. I'm not saying it's better or worse, there's just a lot more access.

I think sometimes, you have to pick your spots about when a game gets intense or when the game's outcome is pivoting in that moment.

There's a little bit more of a freedom when you're doing radio play-by-play as opposed to television. I prefer the television side of it.

If you're prepared, you can be relaxed.

When I visited KU, I thought, 'I wish I'd gone to Kansas.' They would take me around to their spots, and my spots at Indiana just felt like old hangouts. It was one of those times where you always wished you were somewhere else. But I was happy I ended up at Indiana coming from small little St. Louis.

It's kind of my intention to be myself on the show. My main priority on FOX is to do play-by-play. Nobody's tuning in to listen to me. If I didn't show up to do the games, people would watch, and the ratings probably wouldn't be all that different. That's not why people are watching.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world to be my parents' son.
