Chip Brown is a Michigan native and Wolverine fan who went to SMU on a tennis scholarship and eventually became a reporter for the Dallas Morning News.

He was assigned to cover the Texas Longhorns and as long as he wrote positive articles, Mack Brown gave him full access, which made Chip a respected and reliable reporter for a good many years.

However, when Chip began reporting on cracks in the veneer of  the program, the thin-skinned coach cut him off and Chip had to start quoting anonymous sources.  He left the DMN and began working for Texas fan pay site.

You have to justify that $9,95/month pay site with "insider info" so Chip's news became increasingly speculative and dubious.

That said, he's still a funny and entertaining guy - as long as you, take everything he says with a grain of salt.

And believe it or not, I'd still trust him before I'd trust Kirk Bohls or Brian Davis.  Those guys are the WORST.  They have bad sources too but they don't even have the imagination to speculate.
