The Gold Phone

This is circulating among Michigan fans. Don't know who wrote it, but it's pretty much on point. Ann Arbor is God's country

A highly recruited high school football player was visiting schools to try and find the best college for him. His first stop wasat Miami. When he got there, Larry Coker 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 toask 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 Ohio. Upon entering Tressel's office, Coach Tressel 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?" Tressel 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 Ann Arbor, Michigan. Upon arrival at the office, Coach Carr 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 soI can call God and ask him which college I should choose. From Florida it was going to cost me $1000. From Ohio they wanted $750.

So how much will it cost me to call Heaven from here in Ann Arbor?" The coach smiled and said, "Nothing, son. It's a local call."
