Let's Win One for the Gipper
Notre Dame Football Coach ROCKNE:
Well, boys ... I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself for years -- None of you ever knew George Gipp. It was long before your time.
But you know what a tradition he is at Notre Dame... And the last thing he said to me -- "Rock," he said -
"sometime, when the team is up against it -- and the breaks are beating the boys -- tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock", he said -"but I'll know about it - and I'll be happy."
There is a hushed stillness as Rockne and the crowd of boys look at each other.
PLAYER # 12: Well, what are we waiting for?
With a single roar, the players rushed through the doorway.
Thanks...I really needed that!
Amen, my friend.
At the very LEAST we owe him tributes, time to reflect upon his accomplishments and yes, candlelight vigils across this country and the world.
Please people, let's get this project going across the US!!!
