Minnesota, as it happens, typically plays Week 1 home games on Thursday night. The Gophers have done just that each of the past seven seasons, open at home in 2020 and, according to a report from the Toledo Blade newspaper, is doing the same with Ohio State coming to town in 2021.
As of Tuesday afternoon, though, Huskers.com now also lists a Thursday start.
That date also means Nebraska opens three of the next four seasons with a Big Ten game. This coming fall starts Sept. 5 at home against Purdue and 2021 kicks off with a Week Zero game against Illinois in Dublin, Ireland.
The Minnesota State Fair does that.https://fbschedules.com/ncaa-2023/team/nebraska
Yep, Thursday
Changed countdown and date. http://schersdd.tripod.com/sig2023.html
From 1319 to 1317 days
Gophers always schedule Thursday night in opening game season. Since 2012.
The last Thursday night game that the Huskers played, Taylor Martinez made K-State look silly.
Oh, how I actually loved living in Kansas that night and for many days after.

Roy Helu vs. Missouri was shortly after I believe, but your point is still valid. Not many games like that against decent opponents since.We haven't taken a good team to the woodshed like that since that night.
Yes, it was.Was SUH v Misery in the rain a Thursday night game?
Positive thing, 2 more days to prepare against sCUm (September 9th 2023 road trip)Still not a fan of opening with a conference game. Great if you win, but you begin the season in a big hole if you lose.
