good talk

At halftime of Notre Dame's game with Army in 1920 Knute Rockne was exhorting his team to come from behind when he noticed his star halfback, George Gipp, standing there smoking a cigarette....Uh, Gipp, do you have any interest in this game?....Oh, don't worry, Rock, we'll take it to 'em....Through Gipp's efforts (385 yards in Offense) Notre Dame beat Army 27-17----6 weeks later the fast-living Gipp was dead from pneumonia, do what you can while you can.
