More from GipperGate

We’ve been busy covering college basketball here at the Notre Dame Blog, so we haven’t been able to fill you in on all the juicy details of the college football world in South Bend. There has been some spring practices, some chatter about the drafting of a few Notre Dame seniors, and of course, there have been plenty of stories about the sweet recruiting class that Charlie Weis pulled this offseason. But there’s another story that deserves covering.

Perhaps the most famous Notre Dame football player of all, George “The Gipper” Gipp has entered the news again. You can check out this headline story at CBSSports.com. Apparently the family of Gipp has sued the people responsible for the exhumation of their relatives’ corpse. As you might already know, Gipp was exhumed in order to have DNA testing done, as it was alleged that he had fathered an illegitimate child. The testing turned out negative, but during the digging up of the body, another relatives’ corpse was bothered. However, a judge threw out the case.
