Chip Brown leaving OB

[DizzG]

For Fox/scout Ouch. Seems like a strange move.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Interesting move but congratulations to Chip.  He does fine work.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

Wow! Big time!

His next step up will be hornsports.

 

[HornSolo]

rats leaving a sinking ship? Good for chip, I know he will be missed over there.

 

[DizzG]

Without chip nothing there. Glad I never renewed

 

[JimR]

just my opinion, but for me, that cripples OB in a major way. no matter how pissed I get at the posters' ignorance, I go there to read Chip. he is a genuine journalist in an industry of fakes.

Just found the Texas site he's moving to for Scout.  Horns Digest at texas.scout.com  Interesting move no doubt for him and apparently it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up so good for him.  That site also announced a $4.95/month pay membership today with Chip's hiring which is eerily similar to what is already going on here.

Agree with others this is a big blow to Orangebloods.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Hornsports has good relationship with Longhorn Digest team

 

[Chitownhorn]

Good for Chip. I've always enjoyed reading his stuff and respected his reporting.

 

[doc longhorn]

OT - I'm not familiar with Orange Bloods so I really have no dog in that hunt.  Other than I enjoy juicy gossip.  But what was the big flareup about OB mods/owners turning on the membership - or something like that?  Were they really that arrogant, if it were true?

Best wishes to Chip in his new endeavor.

 

[armadillo slim]

big loss.

 

[pjf007]

Happy for Chip and happy I didn't renew my sub.

That is a big loss. They're going to have to look pretty hard to find someone to fill those shoes.  There are not many that have the kind of ties that Chip does to UT and the journalistic respect of so many.

Hopefully it isn't Randy Galloway.

Can't stand Galloway.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Galloway is an Aggy lover.

 

[DizzG]

Will be very hard te replace. Who is even avail who would have UT insider access and a real reporter to boot who brings big name recognition? I'm sure OB is spinning it but massive blow

I know. Tongue in cheek comment there D
