SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Notre Dame football team's home-game sellout streak appears to be going down to the wire this week.

Tickets for Saturday's game between the Irish (3-1) and Washington (2-2) at Notre Dame Stadium (2:30 p.m. CDT) are still available. The university sent out a news release Friday morning to that effect.

The sale, the release stated, is a result of the University of Washington returning an additional portion of its ticket allotment on Friday.

Senior associate athletic director John Heisler said he did not know the exact number of tickets remaining for Saturday's game at 80,795-seat Notre Dame Stadium.

Notre Dame has a streak of 207 consecutive football sellouts, dating to a Thanksgiving Day game against Air Force in 1973.

In addition, a limited quantity of tickets remain available for the Nov. 21 game against the University of Connecticut as a result of its allotment returns.

Interesting that they would write this article without mentioning the milestone Nebraska just set.

Not really. They don't care. To Nebraska and their fans, it's a big deal but to the rest of the college footbal world.....not so much.

There is no chance of it ending.

We have the same thing happen when a team returns tickets. We have had them as late as the day before to.

Not really news worthy or for the fighting irish to be concerned about is my guess. They will sell them or the boosters will.

But doesn't it stand to reason that if sellout streaks were no big deal, that this article wouldn't exist in the first place?

I'm not going on some "they're all out to get us" diatribe, but I do think it's interesting that they don't mention us at all.

knapplc look up there /\ for your answer.

 
Don't let Lou Holtz get a hold of this article. He'll probably find some way to spin it as a positive and further proclaim ND as the 2009 National Champion. <_<

 
They should try to sell some tickets to Nebraska fans. I mean, we helped them sell out their stadium when we play there in 2000.

 
They call 207 a streak? That ain't no F'ing streak! 300 Strong and Proud now that's a streak!!

That sound you hear is T_O_B giving ESPN a Bronx Cheer... Pphhhhuuuuuuttttttttt!!!
