We played Tech on Thanksgiving back in the 90s, but that's a bit different than a random Thursday night game.
You know...for some reason I was thinking it was the JV that played on Thanksgiving and we still played on Saturday. Is that not right? It's been so long ago, it's hard to remember.

way back when, probably 70s and earlier (not sure when the practice ended) you're right in that the young squads would play early and the 'varsity' woudl play saturdays. That definitely wasn't still going on in the 90s though.
Fun fact: the '93 tech brawl (where we beat their arse on the scoreboard and the fight) was on thanksgiving day.

They did play the JV game from 1933-1993 on Thanksgiving Day until that game was done away with.
In 1995 we played them on Thanksgiving and staged a great comeback win and in 1993 we also did the Thanksgiving Day thing and blew them the hell out with a massive brawl on the field, which we also won.
Thursday night games suck, but not as bad as Tech.
