No, Notre Dame isn't that desperate. But a sports author is:
Results of the DNA tests conducted on a sample of Gipp’s right femur and the blood of a woman who claimed to be his daughter were returned Thursday, and they did not reveal a match.
But while Gipp rests peacefully again after his remains were exhumed Oct. 4, some people in his hometown on Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula remain outraged by what they are calling the desecration of his gravesite — a scene that included recording of the action by ESPN cameras.
“It was crazy what went on at the cemetery,” said Karl Gipp, a distant relative of Gipp’s and the court-appointed representative of the estates of George Gipp and his sister Bertha Gipp Martin. “It was like a circus, what went on out there. I was furious then and I’m still furious. There was no reason for it, and these people really did a disservice to our entire community.”
