Who was the Gipper? The Legend of George Gipp
Who was Knute Rockne talking about in his famous Win one for the Gipper speech?We present this YouTube Short on the story of the college career of George Gip... — www.youtube.com
Born February 18, 1895, in Laurium, Michigan, the legendary University of Notre Dame fullback George Gipp was born.
Records show that Gipp rushed for 2,341 yards in four varsity years. This was a school record that lasted until 1978. He also completed 93 passes for 1,769 yards, punted, and returned kicks. He scored 156 points, counting touchdowns, extra points, and field goals. It was no wonder that with a talent like George Gipp, legendary Notre Dame Coach Knute Rockne would remember Gipp's last words to him as Gipp lay in a hospital bed dying from a battle with pneumonia.
Gipp had said. "Someday, Rock, when the team is up against it, when things are going bad, and breaks are beating the boys - tell them to go on in there with all they've got and win just one for The Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock, but I'll know about it and be happy." Knute used those words eight years after Gipp died in a 1928 game against the Army. The Irish were down by six in the halftime locker room, but Rockne's plea from the dear departed Gipp roused the Irish into a 12-6 comeback victory that may never be forgotten.
The National Football Foundation selected George Gipp for entrance into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951.
