Well, boys ... I haven't a thing to say.
          Played a great game...all of you. Great game.
                  
          I guess we just can't expect to win ‘em all.
                  
          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."
