Dusty Dvoracek was a go-to interview for the media as a defensive tackle for Bob Stoops’ Sooners a generation ago. Dvoracek, now a go-to analyst for ESPN game broadcasts, joins me on The Berry Tramel show to talk about his belief in being authentic — “being Dusty Dvoracek” — his rise in broadcasting, the people who helped him on his path and his upbringing in Lake Dallas Texas.
