In January 1920, George Gipp seemed to have it all: a beautiful and brainy girlfriend, one more season as America's finest gridiron star, and enough gambling skill to support his lavish off-campus lifestyle. But by the year's end, he'd been expelled from Notre Dame, lost his true love ... and lost his life. How could the existence of All-American footballer Gipp -- the puckish opposite of Jack Armstrong, the All-American boy -- have gone so wrong? Read on, to discover the true, historical Gipp, and learn how his tragic denouement need not have ended as calamitously as it did. For as Shakespeare wrote in "Julius Caesar," Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
