American Football Poem

“Some time . . . 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, . . .. but I'll know about it, and I'll be happy.”

spoken by Pat O'Brian about George Gipp, played by Ronald Reagan
