  3. A new-look LHN

    The good news is it won’t be entirely going away.

    The last month will be a revisiting of the network’s top moments and surely a few dozen replays of VY running into the end zone in Pasadena. Also, senior athletic director Drew Martin will launch an app July 1 that will make globs of LHN content— coaches shows, profiles, documentaries — available on demand.

    The physical LHN will be no more, but the app will keep that good content alive in perpetuity.

    'It's been a win for Texas,' UT athletic director Chris Del Conte said. 'The way it enhanced the brand was amazing. Anytime a university with its own network with content of that quality, it's a real testament to the leadership of De-Loss Dodds and Chris Plonsky.'

    It was some undertaking. Brave, bold and historic.

    “Obviously, it was ahead of its time,” Brown said.

    “And what I thought were positives and concerns for the football team, it was great for the university and the other programs that couldn’t be on TV. It was worth the money. It was a challenging time but a fun time.”

    Thanks, LHN. Well done.

    Longhorn Network made college sports history…THE LAST BROADCAST

    While the Texas baseball team was busy finishing up its regular-season finale against Kansas on Saturday, a door quietly closed in the broadcasting world.

    It was the Longhorn Network’s final traditional team broadcast, and longtime booth partners Keith Moreland and Greg Swindell bid adieu to Longhorn Nation. They've done in the neighborhood of 400 games at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, and the last one, while sad, brought a historic end in sports broadcasting.

    LHN’s coverage was a welcome presence to the households of Longhorns fans who lived out of state or otherwise couldn’t get to the games.

    The network was an audacious undertaking that lined Texas’ pockets through a massive deal with ESPN that was not only the first of its kind — a broadcasting giant partnering with a single university — but one that would signal a coming change in the high-dollar worlds of broadcasting and college football.

    It was the first of its kind and likely the last.

    How it all started….
