I think a Thursday night game on the opening week is cool. College football fans always want to catch those early games, regardless who is playing. It's a great opportunity for NU to do well in front of a national audience. The Friday after Thanksgiving is basically a weekend day, so I have always liked that Friday game. The only one which may be considered odd is the Illinois game, but as long as NU isn't moving a home game off Saturday, I don't think it's a big deal.We've got at least three non-Saturday games this year...

That's what we said about the game in Ireland...
