Win One For The Gipper
So earlier today I was mortified when I finally understood that my beautiful ‘Belle of South Bend’ herself did not understand the origin of the phrase ‘win one for the Gipper’. So, for all of you who would stand with her in this moment I offer you this bit of Americana/NotreDameiana….
…consider yourself schooled!
Win one for the Gipper!
Win one for The Gipper. Has there ever been a better-known and widely-used exhortative phrase in sports? Not likely. But who was the “Gipper,” this mythical-like sports figure whose nickname has aroused, in turn, awe, wonderment, curiosity, and amusement since the second decade of the twentieth century, and why is his story important? Answering those questions is the formidable task taken on here by veteran sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh, whose Pulitzer Prize-nominated biography of boxing legend Gene Tunney was referred to as “impressively researched and richly detailed” by Sports Illustrated.

What stands out with the Dallas Cowboys’ 53-man roster? “A unit that could surprise people this season would be the linebacker room.

A sort of homecoming
I don’t write original content here often but today I’ll make an exception.
A year ago I was brand new to South Bend and I’d only been in town a little over a week when I went to a men’s soccer game wearing a FB Bayern Munich soccer jersey. The guy on the right — Jack — asked me about my jersey and we started talking. I told him that I had just moved to South Bend the week before and that I had loved Notre Dame since I met my friend Chuck Rigali in the 4th grade. He said “Well then, you need to be an usher”. After grilling him on the details I decided to apply and the rest is history. So a year later, I have my first chance to usher a soccer game and there was Jack. I hadn’t seen him again in a year of ushering and I couldn’t wait to thank him for introducing me to the program.
