Folks wanted to give an update on the happenings here at Hornsports. Me, Aaron, and McPhaul had a dinner meeting tonight to strategize our vision for Hornsports.
First let me give everyone a little background on the site. Several years ago Aaron (bbdude) had a vision to start a UT sports website which led him to create Hornsports.com. I met Aaron a short time later and shared with him my desire to start a UT sports-related podcast, so I started "The Orange Report" with Hornsports.com as the sponsor. Well after a while we both realized that we wanted to take the site to a new level and we decided to merge the two and we became one. After experiencing some very nice growth we felt it was time to brainstorm again to determine how to take the site to the next level. We decided that McPhaul would be a great addition to the site and reached out to him. We met several times and after meeting we ALL felt it was a perfect match - almost as if the stars had aligned. So we asked Mcphaul to come to on board and join the HS Leadership Team. As many of you know already McPhaul has been here for a few months and we are very glad to have him - his involvement has been transformative. Then couple that with the addition of Mr. Cosell and Shaunsters --- and we are thoroughly delighted as you can imagine. Johnny Whisenant is the content manager for the site and does a heck of a job with it. Lukus and Geoff are fantastic moderators here and we are truly fortunate to have a team that is dedicated and committed to making Horn Sports a place like no other. With that said we just wanted everyone to know that we are all united in one one common purpose and vision - and that is to make Horn Sports a welcoming and dynamic website for UT fans to stay up-to-date and involved in the discussion around all things UT. There are many great folks and websites covering Texas Sports and we are simply another avenue for fans to follow along. We hope you will join us for the ride and please let us know if there are things you would like to see improved upon, changed, added, etc.
A BIG THANKS to all of our members for joining - YOU are what makes the site the success that it is. Stay tuned, as we have a lot of great things planned for the site in the new year. Always remember we are a site by fans for fans.
