Am I the only one having a problem with Hornsports?

I use Firefox and sometimes msn to navigate the net.  This is the only site I have a problem with.  It will either lock up, say the server isn't responding, take forever to open pages, etc.., etc.

Does anyone else have these kinds of problems?

no, but it would definitely be cause for concern. seems like Monarch was having these same problems just before his departure. tread carefully.

 
I use FF and never have a problem.

What you don't know is that our last HornSports Conspiracy meeting, we voted to disrupt your life. It's just something we enjoy doing from time to time.

 
If you got Hornsports problems, I feel bad for you son.  I got 99 problems but Hornsports ain't one!!

Haha, in all seriousness Doc, the only problem I have is the third world country internet speed.  But I can't blame HS on that.  However, the slow internet speed may actually help me as I don't get all the pop ups that others seem to be getting.  These pop-ups could be slowing your computer if they are saving cookies (small files) to your computer when they open up.

You may want to try and clear out your cookies and see if that helps

 
Doc, let us know what we can do to help.  We will check on a few things on our end to see if there are any server hiccups.

On FIreFox, are you running ADP(Ad Block Plus)??

No - at least not that I know of.

By-the-way - here is a name for you to watch - Wesley Faison.  He starts at 1st base for Travis high school in Richmond, Texas.  The kid is 15 yrs. old, stands 6'4", runs like the wind (yeah, 1st base - I know), hits for average and has super power.  In addition he is a straight A student.

A phenom.

 
Doc, I use FireFox and I sometimes have the same problems but then again I have a lot of browsers open for work/pleasure. You may need to reboot once in awhile to clear some of your memory since other apps can take it & hold it.

If you only open 1 browser at at time or have a minimum amount of browsers open, you may have memory issues which would be either some bad memory or not enough.

oh I know about him.. He also plays for the South Texas Sliders and works with Matt Pierce, Pierce runs the Slider in the Hosuton Area while Scott Mayer(Owner) and a former Longhorn Runs the Sliders in the San Antonio Area.

Also, if you look in the upper right hand corner of your Fire Fox Browser(if you are running ABP) it is a red icon. If not then I highly recommend getting the file. This file blocks all of those dang ads that pop up. This helps make the browser to run smoother.

I don't see the red icon.  How do I get the file?

Yes, I am aware of the Sliders.  I know of Pierce and Horn both - Kincaid coaches.

That Nations organization has a few promising kids coming up besides Faison - another kid named Cole something is a 15 yr. old that is promising I hear.

There is a barn blazing SS on one of the Houston slider 14 year old teams (they have two), but his name escapes me.

I'm told there is a good looking future SS & pitching prospect on the 13 year old team as well - Brock I believe is his last name.

Strange to be talking about 13 and 14 year old kids, isn't it?

I do like what the parents and coaches are doing now.  Pitching prospects are not being pitched during the summer and winter.

Aaron - since I don't know why I have so much trouble with this site I can't tell how you can help.

I can say the site is SLOW most of the time.  Navigating can be exasperating.  Like the other poster said, I occasionally have trouble connecting - no matter how many times I try.

I am running Windows 8.1; and I mostly use my office PC - which is a screamer with scads of memory and disk space.  But I have the same problems with my laptop as well - and my smart phone.

I will say that my IP is ATT, but that doesn't explain why the other sites i visit are just fine and I have no problem with them.

It is a head scratcher.

When you take a look at the elite programs.. Most of them are already focusing in on the Freshmen crop for the that year..

When someone ask me, hey are you coming to watch this 17U tournament.. I have to gently go, oh man, I am already schedule for another tournament..

Thanks for the link.  Hopefully, it helps.

I have heard this is the trend today - select type programs.  Just another way for high school coaches to make a little money on the side, IMO.

The Sliders do have a good rep for getting kids schollies to college.

 
I have problems with it loading slowly, and it isn't due to add on issues.  It also 'fractures' from time to time, meaning the page isn't formatted.  It is in outline form.  That doesn't happen with any other site.

I really think the problem is my server.  My computer is top notch with excess memory in each phase, and I periodically clear out the cookies.  I do think there has been some improvement with the ad reduction.

 
I couldn't copy and paste with MSM, someone told me to try firefox which does allow me to copy and paste. You may want to try google chrome.
Yeah - I've never been able to copy and paste on this site.  Nor have I been able to use the image or twitter functions on here either.

I've got two UT degrees, but I am too stupid to figure out how to use them.

 
I run an iMac, and frequently run disk doctor to clean up 'permissions' (whatever that is) and verify the disk.

I also check Firefox Add-ons and Plug-in and only run those I absolutely want.

Have had no issues with this site other than more frequent and exciting threads and posts after the recruiting season is over :)

Here's a set of problems for some....  (from Wash Post).... re Deflatgate...hilarious!!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2015/05/06/if-nothing-else-the-wells-report-gave-us-hilarious-text-messages-about-tom-brady-deflategate/

See, it's really just a bunch of good ole boys making light of a serious thing they have to do...

-------


McNally: Tom sucks … im going make that next ball a [expletive] balloon

Jastremski: Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done …

Jastremski: I told him it was. He was right though…

Jastremski: I checked some of the balls this morn… The refs [expletive] us…a few of then were at almost 16

Jastremski: They didnt recheck then after they put air in them

McNally: [Expletive] tom … 16 is nothing…wait till next sunday

Jastremski: Omg! Spaz


Here’s some texts from Oct. 21. They’re still a little salty at Brady.


McNally: Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so tom can get used to it before sunday

Jastremski: Omg


Oct. 23, 2014. Still plotting against Brady ahead of the upcoming game against the Bears.


Jastremski: Can’t wait to give you your needle this week

McNally: [Expletive] tom….make sure the pump is attached to the needle…..[expletive] watermelons coming

Jastremski: So angry

McNally: The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating


The next day, McNally seemed to indicate that Brady would need to pay up if he wanted the balls the way he liked them.


Jastremski: I have a big needle for u this week

McNally: Better be surrounded by cash and newkicks….or its a rugby sunday

McNally: [Expletive] tom

Jastremski: Maybe u will have some nice size 11s in ur locker

McNally: Tom must really be working your balls hard this week


What seems to be something of a smoking gun, when McNally calls himself “the deflator†and mentions taking the story to ESPN, came on May 9, 2014, before the start of the season.


McNally: You working

Jastremski: Yup

McNally: Nice dude….jimmy needs some kicks….lets make a deal…..come on help the deflator

McNally: Chill buddy im just [expletive] with you ….im not going to espn……..yet
