Judge dismisses Gipp lawsuit
The decision by a Michigan judge to dismiss a lawsuit over the exhumation of the remains of George Gipp did nothing to quiet the main parties on either side of the case. The circuit court judge said the Gipp cousins did not have the standing to bring their claims. The cousins, Karl and Ronald Gipp, had claimed they were subjected to "extreme shock, fright, humiliation and mortification" through what they called the "illegal" exhumation of Gipp, a Notre Dame halfback, and, inadvertently, his sister, Bertha. George Gipp died in 1920. Gipp's body was disinterred Oct. 4 to prove whether he fathered a daughter with an 18-year-old high school student. DNA tests were negative.

My opinion is that ND got gipped in the Charlie Weis deal. ("Go, Charlie, it's a hot dog, go. Charlie, it's a hot dog....")

They're lying. This is obviously a cloning. I'm pretty sure Leahy is getting cloned as well. Gus Dorais could play QB. Angelo Bertelli as well...

Hey Sexton.
Why don't you fold it in five corners and stick it where the SUN DON'T SHINE, idiot?
