If you had to rank every member of the Oklahoma media based on ego, News 9 sports director Dean “The Stream” Blevins would be at the top of the list.
I guess you can’t blame Dean for thinking so highly of himself.
A Norman native, the former QB had the athletic chops to play football and basketball at OU in the 1970s, and the hair, voice and vanity to make it big in the local TV news business from the 1980s through today.
As a result, Dean’s one of the most recognizable faces and voices in the local media landscape – a household name that triggers warm memories from longtime OU fans, and cold night terrors from former News 9 interns and Interurban servers.
Unfortunately for Dean, it looks like his star is fading with today’s younger generation.
Yesterday, Dean snuck into a scrum at OU Media Day to ask 33-year-old OU defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis a question about his position group.
