In a move that was long rumored, Penn State Athletics officially announced today that the Nittany Lions season season opener has been moved from Saturday, September 3 to Thursday, September 1 against Purdue.
As the graphic shows above, the time and the television network are to be announced, but you can safely assume this will be a 7:00 or 8:00 kickoff.
The reactions to this have been interesting and all over the map from love to hate to whatever. My guess is that those who hate it are:
- “Purists” in the sense that every college game should be played on Saturday.
