For those who may not know, the late Robert Heard (and Katy Agnor) founded the original hornfans.com in 1999

I did not know that. Other posters, you should blame 47 because had I known, I would never have signed up.

 

[FWHORN]

Are you sure it was Heard I though it was Robert Wheeler and Katy Agnor. As one of those here in '99, I have been around here long enough to remember the announcement of the formation of the site and the the subsequent messy divorce.

Apparently there were two Robert’s involved.

Oh, the traditional rivals have good coaching too, and that includes Arkansas.

I totally respect Dave van horn, he’s a good coach.

Hornfans 2.0 — 5th Anniversary

I was here on the previous horn fans, pretty early, don’t remember the year but a long time ago.

 

[SabreHorn]

I got expelled from the previous hornfans for criticizing Greg Davis, whom I have known since the 7th grade. I said nothing that wasn't factual.

Thanks for putting that link up..... fun to read again.

Everything you should to know about the Hornfans

This is pretty dated info but some of the early facts are there

The site is rated “extremely slow” by Alexa.com, with an average load time of 5.3 seconds.

This is most definitely dated info and no longer accurate!

The Agnors shared a lot of Hornfans history with me in a 2014 visit to their home and I don’t recall anything about Robert Heard, but I could have forgotten some details. Robert Agnor was serving generous amounts of wine that night.

and the the subsequent messy divorce.

I was one that followed Robert Wheeler (Longhorn Bob) to his new site, Longhorn Fan Zone, after the split.
Then he disappeared from the face of the planet.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Apparently there were two Robert’s involved.

The second Robert would have been Katy's husband, Robert Agnor.

Seems like a good basis for an Agatha Christie murder mystery.

I was one that followed Robert Wheeler (Longhorn Bob) to his new site, Longhorn Fan Zone, after the split.
Then he disappeared from the face of the planet.

I was on both sites for a while too. I used to get Wheeler's newsletter and even bought tickets from him to the game at Rutgers and remember hanging out with him at a bar at the hotel in New Jersey before that game. I wasn't a part of the infamous "bus" debacle and so never had the really hard feelings others did about him because I never knew the full story and obviously wasn't one of those who's money disappeared. The late 90's and 2000's were so different than now with True Orange coming to my mail box every week and actually having to listen to road games on the radio because they weren't televised. The Major-Chris debate split the fandom and at least one website all but ended over that mess too. Someday someone way more in the know than me should write the definitive history of Texas fandom during that era.

Anybody have any screenshots of the original Hornfans? I was on it, too and would like to relive the good ole days.

I should have something, let me check the archives

 

[Dionysus]

This is a screen shot from November 2014, about the time I started working on the new site. Brings back some good memories.

You have been with Hornfans a long time.You must like it, as WE all do
maybe time to donate something to help Dion

 

[Dionysus]

The top sticky post in that screen shot up there was Robert’s announcement of closing the site down. I just read through it again—pretty interesting to see some of the old crew chiming in on the thread. Link to the thread below.

And oh, by the way: WE AIN’T DEAD YET!

THANKSGIVING is a fitting ending day - please read

 

[EDT]

So with aggy and blow/u playing each other. What is the O/U of Horns down signs. I will start with 989. Yep, it will be a hate fest for sure!

This would also make a great drinking game.

 

[giveemhell]

Sooners up 8-0 over aggy in top of the second. Final score prediction: 77-0

 

[txhorn_et]

Long way to go in aggy/blow u, but at the moment it appears as if aggy isn’t Omaha ready.

They never have been, so why should this season be any different?

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Oh, I see after I read the article it’s the ol’ “after going through the sec gauntlet” excuse, all that experience propels them to the title.

Yeah, early results seem to disagree with their prediction. Imagine that.

But they have the best coach in the history of coaches!

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Now 12-4 Sooners, aggy batting in the btm 4th

An aggy I know is saying they are losing on purpose so they can eliminate Texas after we lose to ND.

Y'all help me keep up because something is wrong with my TV audio. I can't hear the chants of "SEC, SEC, SEC"

aggy can't spell "SEC".
