Fightin' Words: 10 Days

Irish Creed proudly presents: 
"Fightin' Words" 
a series of quotes to get the Fightin' Irish Faithful in the proper fightin' mood 
as we count down the final days until the 2012 season of Notre Dame Football

Countdown: 10 Days
Fightin' Words:
"Win one for the Gipper."



Ronald Reagan as George Gipp

Robert E. Burns comments on the significance of these "Fightin' Words" in Being Catholic, Being American: The Notre Dame Story: “… ‘Win one for the Gipper’ has become a widely understood and much used American cultural expression for overachievement, success after extraordinary individual effort, and triumph of the underdogs… This expression is a distinctive Notre Dame contribution to our country’s store of popular cultural values.”
