Thursday Night Opener vs Purdue

[TheBigUglies]

So I just realized or paid attention that we open on Thursday night at Purdue on Sept 1. I do know how I fell about that. Doesn't playing on Thursday nights cheapen the Big 10 brand because the weeknight games are for the lesser leagues? Did we ever open on a Thursday night before or play on a Thursday night? How is Purdue going to be this season? I think we beat them if JF has the teams shiite together by kickoff and we play mistake free football. Thoughts?

Primetime game. A lot of eyes builds the brand.

Nfl has Thursday night games. Doesn't cheapen them.

Road game at night is advantage Purdue.

Purdue loses Bell. No heir apparent yet.

I believe in an earlier thread - not certain which board - it was stated that Penn State was to have played UVA on a Thursday but was postponed due to 9/11 attacks.

Purdue is the lesser program. The PSU eyeballs will help the viewership. Should seriously consider going to out and playing golf out there the day after the game.

Lost a really good DT and LB as well to the draft.

We beat Wisky on the road with an 11 AM snooze time kickoff. I think we can handle Boiler U on a Thursday night.

Hope so. Their QB is a playmaker. Clifford will need to make it happen and the run game will have to score some points.
