[Husker] Husker List

[Lynette Tillner]

Great posts all! A BIG thank you to Mike for having the foresight to start this! 


Being exiled in California all these years (since 1972) the list was a huge 
connection for me and my family to our "team." 

I remember Mike's streaming text and I remember some of our list members that 
are no longer with us for one reason or another. 


Bob, Greg Mays, our "Weatherman", the Loon, our stat's guy - what was his name? 
Started with a B --- so many others. Some that got "chased" away by arguments, 
some that just drifted away. 


Through good times and bad, the list has been consistently there for us. THANK 
YOU, MIKE! Bless you!

I remember the textcasts too.  They were hosted on huskers.com back when it was 
an *unofficial* website that had no affilation to UNL.  For a long time, the 
official UNL page for husker football was huskerwebcast.com.  I don't remember 
what happened, but eventually the guy behind huskers.com gave up on the site and 
UNL purchased the domain.  Anybody remember that old site?  It had a chatroom 
(running on some terribly slow java applet).  I thought it was the coolest thing 
in the world to be able to interact "live" with other Husker fans.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the site on the web archive and found that most of 
the 1996 version of the site was archived.  You can even view the textcast page 
here -

 ...It even looks like some of the games were archived!
