HORNSPORTS Appreciation Thread

[swaha]

I started following UT recruiting in the mid to late 90s on the hookem.com forum when I first got "dial up" internet.  I believe this was through the Statesman website. Like so many, after that forum dis-solved another site would start up and I would move there.  I have seen several startup and fold over the years.

However, this site is by far the best website that I have come across for Longhorn sports.  I appreciate the fact that you do not have the juvenile behavior, name calling, and bickering like some other sites. The people on this site bring value and create an environment that fans alike can share in their enthusiasm for Texas sports.

There are too many people to list and plus I don't know all of the names but for the guys that started and run this site as well as the posters that contribute content...THANK YOU!!  YOU ALL DO AN AWESOME JOB!!

P.S.  This site is causing me to be less productive at work each day.  NSD can't get here soon enough.

Sorry, but Appreciation threads will not be taken seriously unless you center all of your text, include a random branded picture, (i.e. Mercedes emblem or NIKE swoosh,) and at least one Keep Calm meme.  Random 'as per' and 'stalwart' placements are also beneficial. 

Nice effort, though.

 not familiar with that style of posting. would seem to be the product of a twisted and disturbed mind.

Totally agree with everything the OP stated and it goes double for the part I quoted above.

if juvenile behavior gets outlawed, many of us are in trouble.

and we bicker from time to time. nothing wrong with that. it's probably healthy in some ways.

but only very rarely is it in an a-hole-ish manner characteristic of at least one other board i'm familiar with.
