This is, to my knowledge, the first Battle for the Bell that has sold out at Nippert in a decade, and probably much, much longer than that. But surprisingly finding records for that kind of stuff is harder than you would expect. I know for sure that the Greg Cook game in 1968 was sold out, other than that its a crap shoot.

The game is a whiteout, so you know what that means right? It means a closer than it should be contest against a highly motivated road foe. Thats's what history tells us. Time will tell if this Miami game follows that script. But enjoy this trailer for Saturday.
