January 30, 20241 yr Popular Post Hi everyone I’m AutographMeg AKA Meghan, I’m a proud Texas Alumni who heads up Go-To-Market at a place called Autograph.io. I’m a former student athlete at Texas (cross country) and am a passionate fan of all things Longhorn. At Autograph, we're revolutionizing the fan experience, with a goal of disrupting the industry. When we crossed paths with Immamac, it became clear he was an essential addition to our journey in growing the Texas Community. Here's the scoop – when you download the free Autograph app, you not only get a feed of curated and aggregated Texas content from all over the web, but you also earn rewards for your fandom. This includes points for every podcast you listen to and blog you read in the app. For the football season, we kicked things off with Michigan (I know, I know). We offered Rose Bowl and National Championship tickets at an incredible discount – 3 tickets for the National Championship for just $500. Our goal is to ensure the most dedicated fans enjoy the most unforgettable experiences and rewards with their team, so your feedback is very important to us in this early stage of our app development. We also want feedback on how to best reward fans at the intersection of NIL and fandom, so feedback around NIL-based rewards is welcome. As Texas fans, we've experienced the highs and lows of a season – I was there during the Charlie Strong era, believe me I understand. We deeply feel the roller coaster of emotions, standing by our teams through thick and thin. It's time for fans to be acknowledged and rewarded for their unwavering commitment, because, yes, fandom is a sport, and it’s not seasonal. Download the Autograph app using the following link: https://link.ag.fan/surlyhorns and referral code: SURLYHORNS. This is an invite-only opportunity – only real fans allowed. Start accumulating points to earn March Madness tickets and climb the leaderboard before the football season starts. I see a National Championship in our future. Hook 'Em, OU Sucks, and we're thrilled to revolutionize the world of fandom with you.Â
January 31, 20241 yr @AutographMeg welcome to Surly Horns! As most of you know I’ve been working behind the scenes on quite a few things related to the community and all things Longhorn from NIL to news on the internet. I started talking with the Autograph folks and got very early access to the app when it was still Michigan only months ago. We’ve gone through feedback cycles, how things work with online content, what’s credible and not credible etc and I found Meghan and the whole team over at Autograph to not be a bunch of poser VC backed morons trying to make a quick buck. The team over there is actually trying to change the way that fans get rewarded beyond just the dopamine rush of a win. We saw it first hand with the Sugar Bowl ticket fiasco - a bunch of fat cat corporate sponsors got the best tickets in the stadium and fans who have spent 10’s of thousands of dollars on tickets, pure donations etc got the shaft and were relegated to the 600’s sections at full boat. Fuck that. This is where Autograph wants to make a difference, not just to the huge BMD’s, but the everyday fan who wakes up logs onto surly and listens to Coffee and Football with Bobby Burton every morning, then posts about it or reads some other news on Burnt Orange Nation. You know, like all of us. They are obviously sponsoring this thread and the more people that sign up for the app the better it is for both Surly and Autograph, but the most important part here isn’t just to sign up, but to help shape the app and give feedback on what you want to see as the rewards, as things that gather points, etc. One of the biggest items I’ve been talking to their team about is how to essentially break away from the clickbait SEO algorithm that drives everything and the enshittification of the internet and really focus on what is driving true engagement. A feed curated by fans, for fans, not by some machine trying to keep your eyeballs somewhere - that’s what the passion of the team will do. So sign up for their app, poke around, come here and post about what your thoughts are - 80% of the revenue that Surly generates from this partnership/sponsorship is going to NIL and I thought what better place to start than the Texas Cross Country athletes in honor of AutographMeg, open to suggestions on that side as well.

January 31, 20241 yr I gotta admit, I was skeptical from the description, but that app is pretty fucking cool. I immediately saw a bunch of stuff I want to read from all over the web. It's like it pulls the most interesting stuff and puts it all in one place.Â

Well, one thing I want from this community and something that is obviously missing is how do we best get this tied back into surly best or use surly content within the app. This  targeted as a surface level partnership we want this to go deep.Â

January 31, 20241 yr Signed up.  question- how do you decide what gets curated? You don’t have Everyone Gets a trophy on there in the podcast section and that’s probably the best thing out there longhorn pod wise. you don’t have surly on there as a community and that seems weird with sponsoring here. Am I supposed to tell yall in some way that you are missing some great longhorn content out there through the app?  here?  looks pretty sleek and good. I will definitely maybe probably use it.Â

January 31, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, Hate said: Can I use my points for Best Buy coupons? Or gift cards. My boss just texted me (he said to keep this on the down low) that he wants me to get a bunch of gift cards for a partner he's talking to. Would be a couple thousand dollars' worth. Any help I can get would be great.
January 31, 20241 yr  Needs to be edited to remove dead sites, Barking Carnival for example.  Love it though!
