Almost Heaven...West Virginia
A highly recruited high school football player was visiting
schools to try and find the best college for him. His first
stop was at Florida St. When he got there, Bobby Bowden immediately
picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes,
he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up. This shocked the young
man. He asked the coach what was so special about the golden
phone. "Well, this phone is a direct line to God. And God tells
us whether or not new recruits would be stars at our university.
The athlete asked if he could use the phone to ask God what
college he should pick "Sure, you can! But it's going to cost
you $1,000. Calling Heaven ain't cheap."
The fellow didn't have that kind of money, so he moved along.
His next stop was Michigan. Upon entering Lloyd Carr's office,
Coach Carr immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking
several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up. The
boy said, "Hey, I've seen those phones before. Can I use yours
to call God and ask what college I should pick?" Lloyd said,
"Sure, but it's going to cost you $750. Calling Heaven isn't
cheap."
Again, not having that kind of money, the lad left.
His last stop was in Morgantown..
Upon arrival at the office, Coach Rich picked up a golden telephone,
talked to God, and said, "Thanks," and hung up. The boy just
had to use that phone, so he said, "Coach, I really need to
use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which
college I should choose. From Florida it was going to cost me
$1000. From Michigan they wanted $750. So how much will it cost
me to call Heaven from here in Morgantown?" The coach smiled
and said, "Nothing, son. It's a local call."
