The Porch, y'all. pull up a seat and kick back.

well, now I'm curious and will take a peek

Wallowing around here in the week after a RRS game that was lost, and I'm in serious need of some consolation. 
Time to listen to one of my latest downloads, the ever babelicious Alicia Keys.  Can't get enough of her:

Seriously does anybody really care about the LHN?  

Yes - to watch Longhorn baseball.  Very cool from that standpoint.

Wouldn't it have been so much better to transform the LHN into the Big XII network?

You'll have to ask ESPN.

Sometimes I find in life that although you can do something, it doesn't always mean you should.

Find me another school that would have turned ESPN away.  No thanks, we don't want our own network.

[CousinFreddie]

Come on Caveman, try to find an article anywhere in cyberspace written recently that says the LHN has been anything but a disaster.  Go ahead, I'll wait.  

A simple search like "longhorn network status 2018" yields articles like:

disaster for ESPN and the Big 12

apparently the Horns are still cashing good checks

not a disaster for the Horns

and this is where 320 interjects the fact that the Big12 voted down establishing its own network prior to the creation
of the LHN

Cold front just hit Brownwood.  Should be blowing into Austin in a couple.

I am no fan of LHN.  Many here are sick of my anti-LHN ramblings and do not wish to hear it again.
But I say again - find me any school that would have turned ESPN away.

No doubt.  T95's self-loathing peaks with the LHN.  He hates the thing and blames it for all the ills of the world, basically exactly the same as the Aggies.  And if the shoe fits...

[CousinFreddie]

So being part cat, curiosity got to me and I had to find Brownwood on the map.  I spent the better part of a week duck hunting around Throckmorton once and thought it might close to there, but I see now it’s about 100 miles south of there.  

So what exciting about Brown County?  Do you have any attractions worth seeing?  One of my favorite things to do in central Texas is nose around in road cuts and river beds collecting fossils, but that might be too far west of prime fossil country?  Or not? 

What about places to eat?  What’s Browneood known for cuisine/restaurant/diner wise?  

Or is it like Luchenbach where nobody’s feeling any pain?  Or Muskogee where white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all (which of course was untrue - it was more like dazed and confused than anything else when I was there)

So you suspect our BC friend of being a closet Aggie?  Ha, that would be funny if he was a pseudo-Horn.  Weirder things have happened, although for the life of me I can’t imagine anyone going to all the trouble to have a false identity.  Wouldn’t be, you know, just kind of exhausting?

I don't hate the LHN at all.  In fact, I'm quite thankful for it.  It was the catalyst that spurred us to leave.

I believe BC is exactly who and what he claims to be.  I have many friends in real life who are even more absurd and exasperating than he is.
