Clemson has a 1-9 record on Thursday night over the years.
Clemson’s only win on Thursday night was at NC State in 2005, a 31-10
win.
While Clemson has a 1-9 mark on Thursday night, it should be
noted that seven of the nine losses have been to top 25 teams and seven
of the nine losses have been on the road. Clemson is 0-1 at Wake Forest
on Thursday night, a 12-7 loss in 2008.
Clemson played at home on a Thursday night in the ESPN
package against Georgia Tech in 1998 and against NC State in 2002.
Those are Clemson’s only two Thursday night home games. Georgia Tech
entered that 1998 game ranked 22nd in the nation, but finished the season
10-2 and ranked ninth in the nation. The 1999 Virginia Tech team finished
11-1 and ranked second in the country. The 2002 NC State team finished
with a school record 11 wins and a top 20 ranking.
Playing on Thursday is not new for Clemson historically.
Clemson and South Carolina used to play on “Big Thursday” every year
between 1909 and 1959. The game was played in Columbia in conjunc-
tion with the State Fair.
Clemson did not win a Thursday game between 1964 and 2004.
The Tigers played on Thanksgiving Day in 1963 due to the death of
President Kennedy. Clemson’s last win on a Thursday was against Temple in
2006, a game that was played in Charlotte and was televised by ESPNU.
Clemson won that contest 63-9. It is not counted in the list because it was
not a part of ESPN’s Thursday package.
