that has been used for all home video, television and theatrical reissues since. The phrase "win one for the Gipper" was later used as a political slogan by Ronald Reagan, who was often referred to as the Gipper because he had played the role of George Gipp in Knute Rockne, All American. At the 1988 Republican National Convention, Reagan told his vice president George H. W. Bush, "George, go out there and win one for the Gipper." Bob Dole used the phrase at the 1996 Republican National Convention, as did President George W. Bush at the 2004 Republican National Convention in his acceptance speech when he stated "We can now truly win one for the Gipper" shortly after Reagan's death. The line is spoken by the dying pilot Al Ross in the 1964 film Flight to Fury. The speech is parodied in the film Airplane!, which was released when Reagan was running for the presidency in 1980. Historical accuracy Neither Notre Dame nor the NCAA recognizes Knute Rockne as a (first team) All-American. Knute Rockne gives the famous "win one for the Gipper," speech at halftime of the 1930 game during his final championship season, but the speech was actually given at halftime of the 1928 game during a season in which Notre Dame finished with a 5-4 record.
