GOODBYE TO ILW

I have helped yous people all that I can. I hope that my teachings of honesty, love and peace have reached you all and touched your hearts. It is time that I moved on to help many others. I bid you farewell. I wish you all peace and happiness.

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 all 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 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper."

Holy c-r-a-p, you're decrepit, Michael. I'd always pictured you as a man in your forties.

The Northwestern game: In a 33-7 win over Northwestern in Gipp's final game on November 20th, 1920, he was held out with a shoulder injury. With Wildcat fans chanting for Gipp to play, he entered in the fourth quarter. After the game he was giving punting lessons and contracted a strept throat leading to a throat infection and pneumonia which killed the 25-year-old on December 14th. As legend has it, on his death bed he uttered the famous passage to Rockne.

"I've got to go, Rock. It's all right. I'm not afraid. Some time, Rock, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go 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 I'll be happy."


All the same, best of luck to you and may life bring you all you ever wished for!
