Fansmanship Podcast – Cal Poly Style

By
Updated: November 21, 2012

Tom Barket joined the Fansmanship.com Podcast this week.

On this week’s Fansmanship.com podcast, I interviewed two people who cover Cal Poly Athletics. First, I sat with Tom Barket before the Mustangs’ men’s basketball team lost to Fresno State Monday night 76-67. Barket talked about his local roots, when he knew he wanted to do sports radio, and life on the road as the voice of the Mustangs.

In the second segment, I talked to Katie Ryan. Ryan is the founder and author of the Line of Scrimmage, billed as “The Official Cal Poly Football Blog.” Ryan talked about her roots growing up around college sports, especially football in southern California. Ryan is often up and watching the team during their early-morning practices and even has class with some of the players, so her viewpoint on the team is certainly a unique one.

** One thing I want to clear up: During Ryan’s segment, I said that Sam Houston State hadn’t been out of the state for an away game. I was wrong. I don’t know where I read that, but I was mistaken. They’ve played road games at Northwest State (Natchedochez, Louisiana), at Central Arkansas (Conway, AR), Nicholls State (Thibodaux, LA).

The total driving mileage for out-of-state games is 934 miles one-way (I think…). The drive from Cal Poly to Grand Forks, North Dakota alone is more than double that at 1,994 miles (according to Google Maps). Not that Cal Poly drove to North Dakota, but I’m making a point.

That doesn’t include trips to Laramie, WY, Odgen, UT (Weber State), Cheney, WA (Eastern Washington) or Flagstaff, AZ (Northern Arizona). Five of Cal Poly’s away games were in different time zones and the distance traveled for each of them is greater than Sam Houston State’s longest road trip — 407 miles to Central Arkansas.  I think the point that Cal Poly is pretty road-tested is a fair one.

OK, now that you’ve read that, listen to the podcast.
