College football data warehouse enters 10-3-39

After a somewhat troubled recent existence (including attracting a virus not too long ago) cfdb appears to have finally bit the dust. I've tried to access it a few times and the page simply doesn't exist anymore.

A shame really. It was a nicely organized set of data in relation to HTH play and overall records.

Damn. I loved that site.

Looks like the next best one, or best one in my opinion, is also going
away. The site admin. has a page up telling everyone he is probably done
very soon.

This site was very comprehensive and the ways to organize your data were
endless, almost to the point of confusion.

Wow. I remember that site from long before I ever visited this group.
Didn't Stassen or someone like him that operated a stat site used to post
here? It seems like I remember following a link to an old RSFC
conversation and Stassen? was participating?

Yes he used to post here that's how I found that site.

Back before the death of usenet.

I think that's how we all found it.

I'm going to miss that site. It was my go to place for historical data. Somebody there did a lot of research to get scores of all games for schools, some going back to the 1800s. Even for some Div 2 schools, Div 3 schools and schools with long discontinued programs. I hope all that got saved somewhere and will be available.
