Hey , it's University of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self. I'm here with who asked me to get you on the phone and talk to you for a quick second. I normally don't hop on the phone like this, but after I heard what a big fan you are, I said "What the heck, give me the phone". Now they want me to tell you a couple of things. First, they wanted me to tell you . And second, they asked me to give you a little advice. I've been coaching student athletes for a long time, and part of my job is to prepare them for the next level by making them great players on the court. But more importantly, helping them become better men off the court. It's something that I take pretty seriously, so I will tell you one of the most important lessons you can learn is how to prioritize. There's a time to work and handle your business, but there's also a time to have fun, and successful people know to do both. And with that being said, I heard you love to , so why don't you drop everything you're doing and do just that. Trust me, they say a little hard work won't kill you, but neither will a little fun. And while I'm thinking about it, if you're blessed to have family or friends that you're close to, then don't take them for granted and let them know how much you care. So when you get off the phone with me, give them a call in . Hey, it's been nice talking to you, but I have to get off the phone and get back to work. Hope you have fun on your special day. Take care and Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Hey , it's University of Kansas coach Bill Self. I'm here with . They told me you're a fan. Now first, I didn't want to believe that. Then they showed me all the pictures you've been putting on-line, especially the ones on Facebook. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I always thought, well, you'd make a better decision. I mean, there are a lot of schools out there, but those guys? It's one thing to support them in the privacy of your own home, but you've been broadcasting it to the world. Aren't you a little embarrassed? I know I would be. Loyalty has to count for something, but don't you like to back a real winner? Not that I called your team losers or anything like that. I would never refer to any team or coaches in that manner. I would think that people would like to support a program with a winning tradition and a history of not just going to the big dance, but cutting down nets and putting players in the NBA. I don't know, to each his own I guess. Some people still like cassette tapes instead of MP3s....go figure. Well, good luck to you and your team. And Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Hey , it's University of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self. I'm here with , and they told me that you are a fan. So with that said, we have to ask you one question...''How'd you like that game?''. We were just sitting here talking and your name came up, so we just figured what better way to celebrate a hard earned victory, well maybe not even that hard earned, than to call a few choice die hard fans who are known to talk WAY too much trash! And if you were wondering who we are talking about...that would be you my friend! Maybe this will teach you a lesson about running your mouth too much before the game! I will give it to you...I didn't think you would even pick up the phone, so I guess that's the start on the road back to humility. Well, I have to go and make a couple more choice calls as we get ready to watch the highlights on SportsCenter. I would ask you to join us, but I doubt you want to watch it a second time in super slow motion! Better luck next time...Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Hey , it's University of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self. I'm here with . We want to tell you It's Time to Wake Up! I tell my players there are a few things that you need to do to be successful in life. Such as hard work and maximizing your abilities. But neither one of them will ever mean anything if you always show up late. So get out of bed and get started on your road to destiny. Oh, and another thing on your road to destiny, don't forget to brush your teeth! It's hard to conquer the world when you can't conquer halitosis. Take care, and Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Hey , it's University of Kansas basketball coach Bill Self. I'm here with , and I want to personally thank you for serving our country . I think it is just amazing that special people like you will put yourself in harm's way to protect people that you don't even know and will probably never even meet. So, I just wanted to give you a call to let you know that your sacrifices are not forgotten and not taken for granted. Keep up the good work and know that we are extremely proud of you!
