Champs Sports Bowl Sells Out for First Time!

The power of the University of Notre Dame...

For the first time in the 22-year history of the Champs Sports Bowl, they are SOLD OUT!  This also happens to be ND's first visit to this bowl game -- coincidence?  I think not...

Coach Kelly took a trip to Orlando today to participate in the Champs Sports Bowl press conference -- along with FSU's Coach Fisher.  Here's a link to the Orlando Sentinel story and UND.COM's coverage of the press conference:

The folks at UND.COM caught up with Coach Kelly after Notre Dame's first of 15 practices they're allowed prior to the game December 29 against Florida State in the Champs Sports Bowl.  Here's a link to his media session:
