Gallon Cleared...
- Thread starter Mr.B!!!
- Start date
Listening on my way home from work; at 4:30 p.m., "Big" Al hadn't heard of ANY of this stuff about Gallon. Not one word. Amazingly pathetic.

I can confirm this. Al knew nothing about the Gallon story until Traber filled him in...
He may well have been the only person in the media in the state who had no clue. I mean seriously, the dude had absolutely no idea about any of this. Was more worried about Bridget the Midget. Pretty sad person.
once its 4:00 p.m. WWLS becomes about everything but sports and good inside info.....These days i just catch a little bit of Mark Rogers in the afternoon and Kref on the drive home.
Oh, and to add, not even 10 minutes before, he was laughing about Musberger and Knight being uninformed about the games they called. If this guy truly is a professor at OU , I'm half tempted to give my degree back (thankfully I have another one to fall back on).
If so, then he gets a pass.
Don't know what I would do without my KREF. Their lineup just keeps getting better. I hope the animal dumps Trabor(a fine human being) because he's lost so many listeners. Al is a shadow of his old self but I respect him for his career in total.

NONE of the on-air people at the Sports Animal try any more.
They seriously don't. Their "information sources" are scanning the Daily Oklahoman, a couple of message boards and MAYBE the Tulsa World. Notice I said "scanning", because half the time when Jim or Al are talking about a story that they "read" in the paper, they get it about 20% right.
That's why the only time it's worth listening is when Trammel is on. He at least is an actual working reporter who talks to the players, coaches, etc.
One of the all-time great Trammel slams was a few weeks ago when idiot Traber was arguing with him about something... Traber is doing his usual, "yell really loud but don't state any facts" schtick.... he said something to Trammel like, "how do you know?!"... Trammel blasts him with, "Because I talk to people, Jim! You haven't talked to anybody since you left the dugout."
This, Trabor and Al think everyone is fascinated with them. They talk about their personal lives more than sports, it's awful. No one cares about their personal lifes. It's suppossed to be sports radio.
If someone disagrees with Trabor he takes it as a personal attack and goes off. I don't even bother with them anymore.

I like Hale. He has alot of interviews on the radio. Also he has alot of OU players as friends on Facebook. He seems to cover just about every sport at OU. The other day he had on Coale, Spates, and had the womens gymnastics coach on a few weeks ago.

Hale is OK on the air, but in print, he's horrible. I've never seen a worse writer than Hale...how did he graduate from OU?

i have
I never have read James Hale stuff other than a few stories on recruits....Which i find no trouble with....I think at times he can be horrible to listen to on the radio.. He uses the same word and repeats it all the time like No doubt and uses lots of ums......Also i grow tired of his over the top butt kissing intros he gives his guests. For the most part i appreciate the things he does and the the overall info on recruiting.
