RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

The first ever UFL sellout
Posted by Mike Florio on September 21, 2010

At a time when more than a few NFL teams are struggling to sell all of the tickets to their games, one of the five UFL teams has managed to fill up the home stadium in the franchise's debut.

The UFL announced today that the Omaha Nighthawks have sold all seats to Friday night's game against the Hartford Colonials.

Sure, Rosenblatt Stadium holds only 24,000 -- but that will still beat the league's regular-season attendance record by nearly 10,000.

The Omaha roster includes plenty of players with NFL experience, including Wendell Bryant, Maurice Clarett (OK, Clarett really doesn't have much NFL experience), Ricardo Colclough, Damion Cook, Devard Darling, Dusty Dvoracek, Robert Ferguson, George Foster, Jeff Garcia, Charles Grant, Ahman Green, Morlon Greenwood, Cate June, Jeb Putzier, Aaron Rouse, Stuart Schweigert, D.J. Shockley, and Gary Stills.

The game will be televised on HDNet at 7:00 p.m. ET. The Colonials are 1-0; Omaha didn't play in Week One.

Oh on a sidenote it seems Mo has made his peace sufficiently with OSU now. At the Ohio game the PA announcer rattled of his name with a list of others on something that I forget now. But I was surprised as I have never heard mention of him at the stadium before in my years as a student.
