Hornfans Needs Your Support

    Hornfans friends,

    I haven't reached out to you on this in a while, but I need your support as we roll into the busy season.

    I recently spent a chunk of money (and time) on migrating the site to a new server. I want to maintain a free site for everyone but, as you know, it is not “free” to keep Hornfans going. Like most things it takes time, effort, and funds to sustain it.

    As football season begins, please take this opportunity to become a recurring sponsor or make a one-time donation to help cover expenses. In addition to working full time and raising kids, I manage Hornfans by myself and I am asking for your help, whatever you can do.

    To our current sponsors: thank you

    I AM BACK! And I will mail a donation on payday. I urge everyone to give what you can but no donation is too small. If 100 of us give $10 that amounts to a grand. But if 99 say it won't help then we lose $990. Please donate. Hook 'em!

    We ain't try'n to extort,
    We just want you to enjoy and support.

    Life without Hornfans?
    Man, I'd rather be run over by a sedan!

    So collect cans,
    pray to St. Ann,
    or dig through the trash can.

    You need a reason
    to contribute to this season?
    Okay, do it for Jackie Gleaso

    Now I don't know if I should give to Hornfans or the the Poetry and song lyric appreciation society.

    A few kind folks—including you, thanks!—have stepped up. I appreciate it very much.

    @LonghornCatholic that’s fine art there, amigo. :smokin:

    And didn't know it
    Cause your feet show it

    Since I don’t do Facebook, Twitter or Linkenin, HF is therapy and periodic validation for me, with some occasional humble pie sprinkled in. (Well, not necessarily occasional.)

    I was gonna come tell you to put a link in your post because I had to go search for how to donate (the horror!) but now I see you already have one and I am too stupid to use it. I am covered in shame.

    Reply meaningless without Pics I have always wondered what someone covered in shame looks like

    Thank you though for being one of us trying to help Dion keep the most important site active.

    The rest of you??

    shoot ... I failed HornFans Ops 101 ... originally posted under the west mall pointer post:

    "Nuther on a 5" (84 bid, btw, for you newbs to Texas, I'm finding too many are completely unaware)
    hafta plug a red-noggined cousin because no one with app-writing skills and burnt orange opted to go for it ... but Texas 42 on the Apple App Store. Not a bad presentation of a timeless game with those glorious bones ... and it's 3-player outlaw "moon"

    I think so. Concerned about my plug? I know ... but there’s no orangeblood of which I’m aware wo has offered 42 on the Apple App Store.

    I may be too dense to know what you’re talking about.

    Is it a game app?

    I don't PayPal, but I did make Dionysus fix the recurring annual sponsor credit card link, so all of you other guys have no more excuses.

    Never been in a position to help out before, but in a good place today and I just chipped in. Sitting in the AAdmirals Club in DC pumped about tomorrow's game! Message me if anyone is tailgating early in the morning at FedExField
