Saturday's game against Minnesota at Memorial Stadium will be the 500th Osborne has been involved with at the University of Nebraska.  He won 250 games as a coach.  It is also senior day.

Fans are asked to be in their seats 30 minutes before to the 2:30 kick for Senior Day introductions and a special Cornhusker Band performance before the Tunnel Walk.

University officials say at halftime there will be a special video tribute and salute to the Osborne family.

Fans who want to write a thank you note to Osborne or tell a favorite Osborne story can do so beginning this weekend at thankstomosborne.com. Fans can participate by using the hashtag #ThanksTO on their tweets or Instagram messages or by commenting on Facebook.
