Revision history

This is a history of changes to the site, listed in reverse chronological order, since Jan 2004. All persons identified by name as contributors in the revision notes below were added to the acknowledgments list on the date shown, if their names did not already appear there.

Had I begun tracking revisions in 1987 or so, when I first started compiling all the swell Hüsker data now strewn across this site, I bet this would be a pretty big file by now....

06 Jan 2008 New main page will be here. All the internal links still point to the old one, but I'll get around to them eventually. The new page uses a Google engine to search the database, which works a lot better than the old script. Other changes are cosmetic, but the long-range goal is to get all the pages still stashed over at The World transferred to thirdav.com. An even longer-range goal is ultimately to migrate the entire database to its own domain (a task that, given the slapdash directory structure and extensive use of full pathnames in links, promises to be a nightmare of unimaginable proportions).
