    Relationship: Married
    About Me: I was born December 26, 1961 in Columbus Ohio, but I consider my home to be Columbia, Maryland. My family moved there when I was 7. Graduated from Wilde Lake High School in 1979 and went on a football scholarship to Oklahoma State University under Jimmy Johnson and Dave Waanstedt. I also played baseball for Gary Ward and proud to say we went to the College World Series two years in a row. I feel honored that I was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in the first year of its existence.



    After my junior year I signed with the Baltimore Orioles and played parts of five years in the major leagues. After two years in Japan and one in Mexico I retired from baseball, came back to Oklahoma and began a new career in radio. I cut my teeth at WWLS learning from the great Al Eschbach and it’s been a wild ride!



    I’ve done national radio with ESPN and was the color voice for the Arizona Diamondbacks television broadcast for three years (2001 – 2003). I was actually able to call the World Series between the D-backs and the Yankees and even got a World Series ring. It was an unbelievable experience, but I’m happy to be back in Oklahoma full time.



    Many of you have heard my wife, Julie, on the air with me and hear stories about children and dogs. My whole life revolves around my family, so I sure hope you enjoy hearing about the latest episodes in the Traber household.

    About the college football conference shakeup: why are all the Big XII fans and ADs thinking so small? We lost Colorado and we lost Nebraska. It stinks to lose that much tradition, but let's take this as an opportunity. If the future of NCAA football lies with larger, more powerful conferences than I think we should be proactive about it instead of sitting around and waiting for the inevitable!
    Here is what I propose: For the North, let's go after Utah and BYU. Quality teams representing an entire state and a market in Salt Lake representing over 1.5million; then move OSU to the North. For the South, go after TCU and Houston. This way we pretty much own the Texas market, and ultimately we have our own 14-team conference and we have done nothing but grab more market share over the western US and Texas! Then start up the Big XII network.
    Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

    Man Trab you really know how to get under people's skin, people need to lighten up and if they cant handle your opinions then maybe they shouldn't listen. By the way I am a 26 year old college educated father and husband that respects your thoughts and opinions. Although I do not agree with everything you say, I still respect your point of view and wish that other people would learn how to do this. I hope that you keep doing what your doing and just know that not all of your listeners are idiots. lol

    So Traber, I notice you blocked my IP address over at your message board. You are not afraid of girl I hope? You have no problem calling people idiots, but let someone call you a couple of names and you block their ability to post and respond. OH! I forgot that is your style, call someone names and then hang up, beat your chest and proclaim yourself the winner. Can you not string together a sentence longer than three words? Oh, yeah, you dropped out of college to play baseball. I found your name on a list of the worst Baltimore Orioles to ever play for them and I can not find your stats as a quarterback up at Choke University at all.

    I have watched your message board for a month now and I have noticed that as long as a poster kisses your fat dough boy ass they get to stay. Let someone disagree or call you a name and boom they disappear. That is the classic signs of a BULLY! I bet you use to push the little kids around on the play ground. I would bet my pay check that right now you are about to pop a vein because you can not scream and call me an idiot, hang up on me and beat your chest and proclaim that you are the ultimate. I will give you that, you are the ultimate bully and the ultimate coward. You yell and scream and I bet throw yourself on the floor like a two year old, you are so insecure you will not let anyone disagree with you because you can not argue a point calmly because you are an idiot. Ops, sorry, the Ultimate Idiot who is afraid of an intelligent woman, you sissy pansy college drop out!

    Dude, you really need to get your temper under control. Even the crowd around you was amazed at your tiraid against a caller who you gave no chance to even explain his answer to you. You were the only one who saw it as a yes or no answer. Yelling and screaming at the callers doesn't make you right, it just makes you and blow hole bully. Do you yell at your family like that? I bet your daughters walk around the house on eggs in fear you'll blow a gasket.

    To top it all off you sat up there like a fat little dough boy and told the team they were a bunch of losers. I really hope you are not shaping the minds of the young listeners, because teaching them to call people names, to put down young men who played their **** off and to scream and yell at people so as to not allow them to even speak is not what I want my child to learn.

    Just once I would like to hear you calmly state your position. Then allow a caller to disagree with you and state their point of view. Then calmly tell them why you THINK they are wrong. My bet is that you can not argue a point without losing your mind and resorting to yelling and screaming. All you prove is that you are an stupid blow hole every time you scream over a caller.

    You really need to get help for that temper.
