Help us spread the news! (Please Read)

[HornSports Staff]

Hey y'all,

The site just announced a major step forward. HornSports is now completely, 100% free for everyone!

We're really excited about the change, and everything it will do for us. 

Until then, we really want to make a big splash with this news. HornSports is the only site in the marketplace offering premium content (a credentialed media member) that does not charge people a premium subscription!

The press release is posted here:

A conversational discussion of the announcement is posted on the message board here:

If it's not too much trouble we would appreciate you grabbing one of those links and posting it on your Twitter and/or Facebook pages. Ask people to share the info, please. We're trying to reach as many fans as we can right away. 

In Marketing 101, this is called "First Mover Advantage". We want to gather as much momentum as we can from this.

Thanks for your help. We know it's a holiday today, but if you would take a few minutes to do this, we'd really, really appreciate it.

Happy New Year!

Because I like to leave multiple Texas-related websites open, is there a way to integrate a live sports ticker across the top/side of website?  That way, I can surf HS and keep up with live scores at same time instead of toggling back and forth to another website?

Check out the Ticker on the home page (under the main horizontal menu). We are planning on upgrading that, and using it on multiple pages.
